I agree with business at UMPI or COSC.

Oh, did you get an AS in Biology at NMJC? If you already have an Associates then maybe decide to go for or skip Pierpont, they are a good option for first degree holders, if you have an associates, it's technically not offered to people who have an associates degree - but there are people who apply with their transcripts and are awarded a degree after the fact... your choice...

With TESU, you can use the Pell Grant and complete a BSBA General Management as they don't have Project Management as a concentration, you can take some PM courses towards that area of study though - you can transfer all but the cornerstone/capstone. You can then continue on with a BALS NSM with a 15 UL and use your current LL's for the BALS Natural Science & Math concentration.

Note: If I read correctly, you have 6 UL credits at the U of Alabama, you just need 3 science UL to round out the NSM concentration. If you go for the BALS/BSBA combo, you should take the required courses through TESU for residency, they need 16 minimum. I would do two terms or three terms... here's a couple of links to write ups I've made in regards to them:

I agree that you need to just figure out what you want to do - but I still lean towards the BLSL psych/business at COSC or the BLS/ProjMgmt at UMPI. With someone who is "all over the place" and just needs "any" degree, I think your best shot is taking the easiest, fastest, cheapest way to an actual degree. THEN, if you want to later, you can go back and get something else (MBA at WGU, or something else you're interested in).

But getting A degree at this point is more important than researching and researching and researching and trying to find the perfect fit. I don't think that helps you much, you've already said you've wasted too much time and money on this journey. Just get SOMETHING at this point.

Just a question. Did you get an associate's at NJMC? If not you only need 25% credits at NMJC which you have. You might be able to get associates through a reverse transfer for free or super cheap and little/no work. At least then you would have been able to finish a degree on your way to your bachelor's.

And if for some reason you are drawn to ASU. If you are willing to work at starbucks part-time you can go to ASU for free.

I did receive my Associate of Science at NMJC. I looked into the starbucks/asu program but you have to work 20 hours a week I think and I work 6 days a week currently so I can't swing it.

Well, I'm glad you got your associates. Keep going you can get your bachelor's!

Yeah you are right you do have to work 20 hrs a week. I didn't know your situation so I was just suggesting it.

Also since you have an associates you can't do peirpont and would have no need to anways. Peirpont is for your first degree only and also would be useless at this point.
