Hello good people of the Degree Forum
I have 62 credits from Sophia and 6 from the UMN and I would like to turn it into an associates degree, but I don't qualify for UMPI or Pierpont, are there any options? or am I cooked and I just need to focus on qualifying for the BA from the DLI and getting a masters early

Basically, at this point in time, it's too late to get an associates I believe, I would continue on with your Sophia.org studies until you max out your membership. Take another month if needed... Once you're done, transfer everything you can for the DLI Associates and Bachelors while you're there. Link: https://www.dliflc.edu/administration/re...r/degrees/

You should get more money and go for the UMPI degree, which is your best option. If you qualify for financial aid, you should use it at UMPI. Max out the 90 credits from Sophia or Study.com, and finish the final 30 credits at UMP, which I could bang out in one term. You would get both an associate's and a bachelor's degree.

UMPI is a great choice when you reach 20 and can apply then, a good AALS as a second associates to go with a second Bachelors of your choice (if you need it), you can then go for the MAOL right afterwards. But for now, the DLI Associates and Bachelors would get you on your way using the time you currently have...
