Fastest, Easiest and most cost effective Bachelors for a homeschool mom
#1
Hi everyone. 

I'm looking for some degree planning advice.  I'm a homeschool mom and we have emigrated to Portugal.  The law in Portugal requires a homeschool mom to have ANY bachelors degree.

Thus I need to obtain mine a.s.a.p.
I'm busy with my Sophia credits and have 56 so far. 

Your Age: over 40

What kind of degree do you want?: Any! At first I though a BSLA from Excelsior would be the best transferring about 90 from Sophia and then perhaps 23 UL from Coopersmith and the last 7 with Excelsior.

But then I spoke to a gentleman from here and he recommended UMPI which I didn't know anything about.

Now I'm strongly considering UMPI mostly because of simplicity, cost and time.

These courses I have taken from Sophia already:
- Developing Effective Teams
- Project Management
- Introduction to Web Development
- IT Career Exploration
- Introduction to Information Technology
- Essentials of Managing Conflict
- Conflict Resolution
- Visual Communications
- Art History 1 & 2
- Environmental Science
- US History 1 & 2
- Macro- and Microeconomics
- Human Biology
- Intro. to Ethics
- Intro. to Business
- Intro. to Statistics
- Accounting
- Foundations of Statistics

Any certifications or military experience? 
I took a few credit courses from Broward CC in perhaps 2004/5 but don't have my records.  I also did a few personal training, fitness instruction etc. classes in South Africa but don't have any transcripts.
No military.

I completed High School in SAfrica and not even sure how to get that records, but I guess I can call the school. 

I'm worried about acceptance to UMPI as English was studied as a second language in high-school - although my home language has been English for over 24years and I am an American Citizen.

UMPI looks like a good route because I can allocate 6-8 hrs a day to it and hopefully do 10 classes in 1 session.

My other question is about math and English.  I'm VERY nervous about those and not sure where the best place is to take it. 

The classes I have left on Sophia mostly need papers, so I thought I should perhaps do English first to help with the paper touchstones, but then I see some say English with UMPI is more doable than Sophia???

Perhaps I should do English 1 atleast with Sophia to help with the papers?
I'm so confused!!

Appreciate any guidance
