Quick Associates degree?
#11
Usually, I get people to do the Associates/Bachelors combo, an example would be the TESU or UMPI Associates, as you get it completed when you finish your Bachelors. Most of the time it's a freebie as you don't need to take additional classes unless it's in a very specific subject for the associates degree, say, Biology.

For those going the Excelsior route, their Associates Capstone, for residency purposes, the BSLA may require 15 credits now, thus, allowing you to chose the Associates Capstone as one of the classes in addition to the Cornerstone and Bachelors Capstone. For TESU Associates with a capstone, I would do the same thing.

I was in WGU briefly, and left to get some classes at StC, which I did. I can't rejoin WGU until my previous term ends, which is in 4 months. Now I have 4 months to kill, so I am back to thinking I will get an Associates before I return to WGU. It sounds like UMPI's Associate in Liberal Studies might be a good fit for me. 

Should I apply at UMPI to find out what classes transfer over, and then take as many as I can at StC before joining UMPI?  Or should I just go to UMPI and start taking classs there?

I am also still looking in to the TESU AA in Computer Studies, since I have a lot of techology credits.
