Thank you, I appreciate the resource, especially the paragraph "Tips on Order in Which to Complete Courses".
Really takes away some of the anxiety haha.

Your plan looks pretty good to me, except the science lab is faster/easier at WGU, and you have Sophia's Intro to Java transferring for Scripting and Programming Applications, but it only applies to Foundations. You may also want to take a shot at some or all of the Saylor exams with little or no studying:

For only $5 per attempt, you can potentially knock out some classes quickly.
