Dear beautiful community, with the help of you guys I got my bachelor degree with 3.8 GPA. I am very thankful to all of you. I have a friend who is going through very difficult time. He has many years of experience in business but don’t have any degree. He wants to get his bachelor in business.
What’s the best way for him to start? How many credits he need from UMPI ? Can he start at Sophia and then transfer his credits? Pls need advice.
Thanks again for always being helpful.

30 credits minimum from UMPI. Yes he can start at Sophia, and that is one of the best ways to start.

Basically, it really depends on what they are looking for. I'd get them to create an account and start participating by filling in the addendum and template information just like you've done. Work on the 90 transfer credits first from Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com until they max that transfer. The final classes are to be done at UMPI for the BABA with a concentration or BLS with a minor of their choice... Exactly the same steps as what you've done...
