You should definitely apply right away to see where you stand with your current transfers at UMPI. If you've done this much CBE, you will likely be able to finish your degree in one or two 8-week sessions.

They don't have Finance, but they do have Accounting:

I just sent over my transcripts and sent the application early this morning. It looks like a waye better idea than EU or TESU in my opinion. I'm excited for this. Do you recommend going for Business Administration with a concentration on Accounting or the Accounting degree?

Okay, you've recommended UMPI many times and I haven't really jumped on the idea. But this description actually sounds more intriguing...

How much like a Sophia or SDC course is it? I'm don't want to waste time making posts on a forum and commenting on other posts (for class credit, I mean). I don't want group projects. I'm okay with writing some stuff, expecially if it isn't heavy on the minutia of citations, etc.

With UMPI, how much of it is reading and testing? How much is writing? How much is other stuff that I don't want to do? What does a business course look like, as specifically as you can answer?

Thanks for your time. I appreciate you keeping this forum going after all these years.
