Hello there:

You have a lot of options, but the likely best are UMPI and TESU, in that order. You can likely finish UMPI in 2-3 sessions, at a cost of around $3600-$5400 for those sessions, while TESU is a bit more. Similar degree plan requirements.

Here is the degree plan for UMPI: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan
Here is the degree plan for TESU: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan

Welcome to the board, it's great to ask questions to get the ball rolling, you've got two institutions presented to you with various degree options. Having said that, you mentioned Psychology... It's best to provide a clearer overview of your situation... And, to provide a bigger picture of your scenario, it's best to fill in the addendum and template: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

I had another question and was hoping you could shed some light on. It is my understanding that I need to have the Study .com and Sophia credits before I apply to TESU or UMPI, is that correct? Or can I earn them while enrolled and transfer them over later? 

Thank you!

Good news is it's not correct! At TESU and UMPI you're free to transfer in new credits from outside sources including Study and Sophia at any time while enrolled.

At WGU you cannot, and at Excelsior you want to avoid it because Excelsior will add a large fee.

Awesome! That is such a relief to hear as I was doing my application today and wanted to be sure before paying the fee to submit. Thank you!

Can you confirm the number of credits for each course, especially the Python, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity ones?

I'd like that too... We can post the credits transferred from the Associates to the Bachelors and how these would come in. Oh, and banned/removed your hidden link!
