Help me with the path to get a degree

Wow! You've got time on your hands, that's great! Just go for it, you can do it...
...with some guidance and a plan/study strategy, you should be able to get more credits in that time.
That's a great starting plan, but my recommendations still stand as follows, per my previous posts.

I think you're still a bit cautious and not sure how to start. However, this is getting repetitive...
Before you ask any further questions, you need to answer Yes to each, if no, then you need to complete the following.

1) Did you create an ACE Credit Registry account for storing your credits? This is the first baby step.
2) Since you like FEMA, as per my previous post, do the PDS Cert for 7 credits to begin instead of 3.
3) Also, as per previous post, complete the free general elective courses for 14 credits.
My suggestion is do them in this order: Kaplan PLA LCR 100, NFA, Institute Ethics 312, TEEX courses.

4) Start your ALEKS College Algebra, it's $20/month, if you can finish quickly do the Intro to Stats.
These two are the most recommended courses, if you want more, you can go for Intermediate Algebra and PreCalc.
For me, I am taking all 8 for a max of 12-18 credits total, it depends on the school accepting the credits.

Guess what? You're at 24 credits, it cost you just $20, and you are pumped up to do more! It's more than the 12 you were looking for. Oh, and you have the exact same credits as I do on my signature, it will transfer to COSC and TESU which you will not do until you finish more.

When you are done these, again, start updating this thread. You can then start your Saylor or Straighterline courses.
If you happen to finish these before the 4 weeks you have mentioned, as I am guessing, update this or PM (private message) me and I'll send you your fifth task to get you started with your second batch of 24 credits.

My friend, if I were in your shoes, I won't delay and keep asking questions and be told the same thing. Just do it.
The board members here are a very helpful bunch, and it delights us to see people like you succeed. Thanks,
BJ

These is great advice. I only have a few different suggestions, since I have experience with COSC specifically. Since you can take all of your free electives with FEMA, I didn't bother with the other free credits, such as "Kaplan PLA LCR 100, NFA, Institute Ethics312, TEEX courses." If you are good at math, maximizing ALEKS credits is a great idea. COSC even gives credit for Beginning Algebra (but it doesn't fulfill the Math requirement.) So IF you are good at math, you could take Beginning Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Business Statistics through ALEKS. I do NOT suggest that you take Intro to Stats because IF there is a good chance that you will go with the Business Major route, you will need Business Stats and not Intro to Stats. COSC will NOT give credit for both, and Intro will not fulfill the Business Stats pre-requisite in the Business Major.
