Any Undergrad degree at the Big 3 where you can transfer the capstone or excludes it?

I have multiple credits from Sophia, saylor and study.com. I’m pretty sure I have around 90+. I’ve completed many gen ed courses

But are they relevant? I would apply to both UMPI and WGU to see where your credits go. Unless you've been taking credits targeted at a WGU degree, I would be willing to bet that you're closer to a UMPI degree.

Speed wise, if you can cram, UMPI can be done in one 8 week term, or tie Excelsior at two 8 week terms... it's highly possible to finish the UMPI cheaper, faster than Excelsior... as I've read this person do the entire degree for $2300!  Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...pful-users

Charter Oak has 8 week courses as well.

I’ve been looking into umassglobal and it allows 90 credits. Do you recommend/not recommend this as another university as a choice?

No. Not unless you really want a degree that you can't get from UMPI or WGU. See https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...d_Programs They have more writing than UMPI, AFAIK, and they require you to get at least 81.5% (letter grade: B) on all courses that you want to transfer in. UMPI is just pass/fail for ACE courses. I believe they're also more selective about what credits are accepted. So, even with a grade of B or better, they might not accept credits that would be accepted by WGU/UMPI.

When is the next UMPI a start date? I’d prefer not to wait 1.5 months

There's a session beginning on Monday at UMPI, but you missed the deadline to apply. There are 6 start dates every year at UMPI. The next session begins on October 24 and you have to apply by October 4th.

Next application due date is October 4th. That should be just barely enough time to get all your GEC credits that you don't already have. Make a spreadsheet to see what you have and what you need. Compare with https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents

Furthermore, it's not really "when you start", it's more like "when you finish". You can start ages ago, but if you still don't have a finish in sight, what's that going to do for you? Starting early is great, but if you don't have the 90 credits to transfer, why bother starting that quickly? Apply, wait to start, while waiting, get the 90 or more credits you want to transfer into the degree then finish in the allotted session or two.
