UMPI BS in liberal arts with a minor in management
#31
You could stick to the UMPI BLS plan or do the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration – Management & Leadership Concentration which is the easiest of the BA Admin to test out of.

I would get Grammarly Pro to help with writing, so you don't make obvious grammar mistakes.  College writing usually doesn't take off too many points for a few grammar mistakes.  It is more about the content & following the rubric in scoring papers.

The math courses usually you can get by using a calculator.

Given how fast you went through the Sophia courses, you likely would be able to complete 30 credits at UMPI in 2 terms considering you spend 20hr per week on your studies.  I like the idea of transferring in as much as you can.

Thanks a lot for the tips. The grammarly pro idea is great. i did not think of that and I can really benefit with it. As far as the Ba in business , I have checked the courses and It will take me longer to complete. The BLS with management minor, seems to be the " easiest" to get. Don't you think?

The BLS is the easiest because that degree accepts the most Sophia courses. 

The BA admin doesn't take too much extra work though it will require more Study.com courses to maximize your transfer courses.  It may only take you 2-4 weeks of extra work but considering most people take 4-5 years to get a college degree, that is a small amount of time in the grand scope of things.  Either degree, you will have to take at least 10 UMPI courses.  Choose what you feel is best for you.

I've heard that ProWritingAid https://prowritingaid.com/ is better than Grammarly, especially for academic papers. Grammarly is fine for catching small mistakes (I use it on a regular basis myself) but it can be pretty stupid sometimes and might suggest something wholly inappropriate. For instance, the words in the parentheses in this post? Grammarly is trying to tell me that "myself" should be "me". It's always doing stuff like that. Could be very frustrating if you're trying to get a paper written near the deadline and Grammarly is trying to point out all of these "mistakes" that aren't actually mistakes.

No. SL doesn't let you do that. And I don't think it matches any of Sophia's courses. Plus, the SL lab is physical and requires a kit that must be mailed. This can take weeks. The SDC lab is virtual and can be done immediately.
