Welcome to the board, great intro post with some information, but it's missing most of the info asked for in the addendum and template, please update the post/thread in order to provide a bigger overall picture of your scenario: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Basically, it really depends on your budget, commitments, study habits, etc. You need to ask yourself what subject matter interest you the most. With all these questions, you want to see my answer I had a few minutes ago and corresponding links here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid441388

Last but not least, instead of having a screenshot of the entire transcript, crop out your personal info, we just need the basic details, not your personal info.

"Commitments: i am a jobless manchild" ha, gonna steal that for when I get fired.

I think East Texas A&M University makes a lot of sense since you're in Texas. $1000 in state tuition per 8 week session. You can take as many courses you can complete during that time (the norm is 2-3 sessions to complete a degree). Depending on the CBE degree, you can transfer 84-90 credits.

Tuition: https://www.etamu.edu/cbe/cost-and-aid/
University degrees: https://www.etamu.edu/programs/ In "all locations and online" select "Competency-Based Online" for all CBE programs

+1, I agree with ETAMU as a first choice for Texans, there are several BAAS concentrations to select from as well. Your second choice should be UMPI BBA with a concentration of your choice. Basically, I would apply to both and get an evaluation to see where you stand at these two institutions. Review their degree offerings and decide where to finish your Bachelors... Good luck, have fun!
