In need of help and suggestions to finish my degree!

Any other discount code after that?

Once you have an SDC membership, they do not permit you to use discount codes. At least, they do not release discount codes for current/former students. Only new ones.

Study.com has several affiliate memberships, all of them are offering that same 30% off for three months. As Rachel83AZ mentioned, they do not permit secondary codes for the account when you've got a membership already. There is no other workaround (unless you create a second account, but don't do that).

Err... I meant 5 Upper Level courses, not credits.  And I just looked at your courses, those from U of Calgary?

They are!

In that case, UMPI is an even BETTER option, because they have a separate path for Canadian credits. You (probably) don't need to have them evaluated by WES or anyone else as you would have to do at another school.

If I intend to eventually follow up my undergrad with a master's degree, would that in any way impact the suggestions to pursue a BLS or History degree?

It depends on the Master's degree and the school. If you're as laid back about the grad as undergrad, you will at least be able to get a degree of some kind. But, if you, for some reason, have a burning desire to pursue an MBA later on, you might be hampered by the lack of business credits. In general, though, you shouldn't have any problems.
By the way, if you're finishing your degree, you probably have to read a lot of stuff. I would suggest reading only the summary of the books, to save your time. Recently I needed to read "the ones who walk away from omelas" and here https://freebooksummary.com/category/the...as-symbols I found everything I needed - the summary, the symbols, motifs and so on. Would definitely recommend to use it!

Also, pardon my ignorance, but if in the future, after receiving my degree, I decided to, say, pursue a separate degree in computer science, could I "double dip" and build on top of the classes I would have already taken, or would I have to retake the overlapping courses?

Broadly speaking, schools that allow you to pursue a second degree will simply require an additional 30 credits on top of what you earned for your first Bachelor's degree. Any gen ed requirements, and sometimes electives, are waived. If you think you want a CS degree in the future, and don't have time for it at this time, don't take any CS-related classes now. That WOULD make it so that you'd have to retake classes.

Funny you mention an MBA--I'd definitely have my eye on one at some point in the future, so it sounds like I might want to toss in a few extra business courses for the undergrad.


This has been exactly the sort of help I was hoping for--I can't thank you (and bjcheung) enough!  

So, to get this started immediately, it sounds like my next steps are:

1)Go to the UMPI website, decide on a program (for simplicity's sake, and because it sounds like a great option, let's say the BLS you mentioned)

2)...?  (Sorry if it's a newbie question, but should I next enroll directly at UMPI for the program, and in that way clarify exactly what remaining credits I need to get?  Or is there another process I should take?  Again, apologies for my general ignorance...it's been a decade+ break and I'm eager to try to make up for lost time!)

I would suggest to smart study the materials. It is not necessary to read EVERYTHING, you can select the most useful information. You have an enormous source of information - internet, but you need to learn how to filter the information you're getting. Don't study hard, study smart!
