Fast Track to Degree, Possibly UMPI Criminal Justice AA

[Boxing4Life]

Hello,
I am new to all of this and just recently about a week ago found a youtube video outlining someone getting a degree in around 4-6 months. I am up for annual review near the end of June, it's a government job and all I need is any degree to be pushed and promoted to the next level. The one degree I was taking a look at was the UMPI Criminal Justice Associates degree. Would this be possible in 4 months? And does anyone know if Criminology from Sophia transfers to UMPI? 

To be honest I am starting from scratch, and enrolled into sophia last week after viewing the youtube video. I am not sure the best route but I have years of management, and data analysis experience. I do have an interest in criminal justice, but I am open to whatever would be the fastest and best route to a degree in time for my annual review in June. 

Since then I have completed the following courses;
IT Career Exploration
Visual Communications
Into to Career Readiness
Developing Effective Teams
Essentials of Managing Conflict
Intro to IT

Currently waiting for Intro to Sociology to be graded 

Thank you for any help/advice

Welcome to the board!

Do you have any google certs? Clep exams? Dsst exams? If you have PADI scuba diving certs, the open water cert is also worth 1 ace credit. Umpi seems very generous accepting ACE credit. They also accept ACTFL exams in case you speak any foreign languages given you are in a hurry to graduate quickly.

Sadly they don't accept NCCRS credit or else Lawshelf would be another good option to take Criminal Justice courses quick and cheaply.

Given you have a generous budget, you are likely able to finish an umpi bachelors by July if you transfer max credits. Umpi allows students to continue transferring after starting, but you would do best to focus on following the wikis. I am not sure what is umpi's equivalent for Sophia's Criminology course, but I am certain they accept the course at least as an elective.

While there isn't much info because Sophia is so popular, you can also check UPIstudy, I think some of their courses are ACE and theoretically Umpi should accept them. Mostly mentioning this because so many Sophia courses have touchstones which makes it slower to finish faster.
