Looking for some advice on the quickest and easiest way to finish this plan.

You should also look at completing the Google IT Support certificate - https://www.coursera.org/professional-ce...it-support. It is worth ACE credit (even if it turns out you cannot use them for this degree) and is excellent starting point since you're looking to get into the IT field.

Have you considering going the Pierpont BOG AAS route? Here is a thread that may interest you, https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...PI-BAS-MIS and you can get the IT concentration with the use of the Google IT certificate.  Then once you get some experience move on to bachelor. There is a great deal of information on the BOG on the Wiki page listed in the thread (with how to max your Sophia credits).

Thank you for responding yes I do have the Google IT support certificate on my list. Eventually I want to get into WGU and do the BA in network operations so that will help knock off a few courses. From there I want to finish and do a masters in Cyber security. I know I'm going the long route here. But, I have a inside man for a job and he said any IT degree will do because they're willing to train me in cyber security. I picked this degree because it has doesn't have a math requirement and eventually the end goal would be cyber security where a lot of networking is involved at a foundational level.

What about either Management Information Systems from UMPI or a Bachelor's in Computer Information Systems from TESU? Either one should be cheaper than that Purdue degree.

Two very good points. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I don't know why I thought it was going to be around $3000 per semester. And, writing.... not my strong suit.

I'll look up the BA at TESU and check back. 

Thank you!
