Hello,everyone!
I am a new student who need help with my degree plan.
I attended a university in China 18 years ago studying Mechanical Design and Manufacturing and Automation without degree.
My goal here is to get a BA/BS( with as little pain and soon as possible) so that can apply Trine University MBA master or CS master.

Yesterday I was told that I could make it with UMPI.

After viewing some posts I still feel uncertain as below:

1)Can I apply Trine University MBA master with BS degree or CS master with BA degree?(Yet,I haven't decided whether I would apply the CS master or MBA master in Trine)


2)Transferring credits.
UMPI degree required 120 credits(30 credits + 90 credits)
If I apply CS degree which requires 42 cr,can I achieve some of this cr from SOPHIA OR STUDY and then transfer the credits to UMIP?

COS 101 - Introduction to Computer Science 3 credits
COS 110 - Programming Fundamentals 3 credits
COS 120 - Introduction to Data Structures 3 credits
COS 220 - Programming Languages 3 credits
COS 230 - Algorithm Theory and Development 3 credits
COS 235 - Architecture and Organization 3 credits
COS 240 - Network Concepts 3 credits
COS 250 - Management of Enterprise Data 3 credits
COS 305 - Computational Science 3 credits
COS 310 - Operating Systems 3 credits
COS 315 - Parallel and Distributed Computing 3 credits
COS 320 - Software Engineering I 3 credits
COS 330 - Object-Oriented Programming 3 credits
COS 350 - Databases and Database Security 3 credits
Mathematics Requirements (16 cr)
MAT 131 - Calculus I 4 credits
MAT 201 - Probability and Statistics I 3 credits
MAT 202 - Probability and Statistics II 3 credits
MAT 253 - Discrete Mathematics 3 credits
MAT 274 - Linear Algebra 3 credits

I attended a university studying Mechanical Design and Manufacturing and Automation 18 years ago. I'm unsure if this will be of any value or in terms of transfer credits, or if they are even worthwhile sending for assessment. 
Once my transfer credit situation is clearer, I would then start a Sophia/study.com course plan to transfer into UMPI with as much cheap credit as possible.

3)Study plan
I don't fully understand the entire learning process right now. If you've been through this stage before, could you please share your experience and help me create a clear study plan and process? I would really appreciate it.

UMPI doesn't have CS for YourPace. Also, UMPI doesn't have a CBE MBA.

@Tequila, Welcome to the board, UMPI doesn't have a CS program, but that doesn't mean you can't take classes towards the UMPI BAS with MIS/PM minors, and 4 classes that can go towards the MAOL later.  I suggest the MAOL in addition to an affordable MBA instead of Trine University MBA.  You will need to get your evaluation done for Pierpont and UMPI... There are so many options available for you, here's a post I had recently, this is what I suggest you do! https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ee-Program

@Everyone who is reading this, yes, please join the official (or unofficial) UMPI discord services... I have removed the link and banned the user, we do not recommend having others do your homework for you, nor assignments, assessments, the online exams, papers, etc. Paying for a service such as tutoring is one thing, as long as you're learning 'properly', but paying them to do your homework is another... Please refrain from this.
