Is UMPI my most affordable option?

[LevelUP]

Appreciate the guidance. I’ll take a closer look at my options at TESC.

It's called TESU now.

You've got enough RA credits, you need to transfer all the remaining credits using ACE credits as they're much cheaper, easier, faster to complete. Sophia.org for lower level, Study.com for upper level, and anything else they'll accept, such as NCCRS credits. You can complete this within a year, do all the requirements first using alternative credits, then one capstone at a time, to get a double degree for the price of one at UMPI.

TESU is way, way easier than it used to be!

UMPI would be a good option for just a basic BALS degree, but a TESU BACS or BS CIS degree would be about the same price and yet look better on a resume. Broadly speaking, a subject degree usually trumps a Liberal Studies/Liberal Arts degree as far as perception goes.

As a bonus, Sophia, Study.com, and Coursera are all very cheap monthly fees that can be cancelled or paused at any time. If life hits you again, you can pause and restart when you have more breathing room. But you should definitely be able to complete a TESU degree or dual degree in less than a year, assuming no RL interruptions!

I would reapply ASAP to see where they put your credits. Pay for, but don't take, the Medical Terminology TECEP in order to unlock unlimited transcript evaluations.
