Wrapping up Bachelor's

[digdug]

Hi everyone,
I'm in my late 30's, been in IT for almost 20 years, and currently work as a supervisor in an IT department.  I would like opinions on the best route to finish my Bachelor's degree.  I'm probably not going to reach retirement due to my disability but would like to try to keep working up the ladder and hoping checking this box will help.  I'm really looking for the path for least resistance since my energy is zapped easily.  I tried UMPI 1-2 years ago but didn't even get to finish a class when I got sick.  IT degree would be nice but not necessary.

I hope to finish up ~10 more Sophia classes this month.

Your Location: Richmond, VA
Your Age: 37
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor's, preferably in IT
Current Regional Accredited Credits: ~110
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: Sophia courses listed
Any certifications or military experience?: CompTIA A+
Budget: <$10,000
Commitments: Full-time job, disabled child
Dedicated time to study: 12 hours per week
Timeline: 1 year
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Welcome to the board, great intro post to get the ball rolling... Not sure why you're only providing a partial info without the addendum and template... It would be best to have the overall picture of your scenario. My suggestion is to max the transfer of 90 credits towards your degree, complete them through ACE providers such as Sophia.org and Study.com or something you're interested in. You might already be at 90 or more. Please fill us in with the addendum and template here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Hey neighbor.  I'll check out your posts occasionally because I decided to go back when I saw Eneb.  Waiting for the next promo to come around.

UMPI would be a heavy favorite, Excelsior and TESU would be my second choices... I suggest emailing advising for UMPI and see what you have remaining for their BABA PM & IS (Project Management and Information Systems concentration). Even though you've got over 110+ credits, only 90 will come into the degree. Another option is to do the UMPI BLS, it'll transfer all 90 and finish with a minor in PM & IS instead to max the electives.
