Need Advice on Degree Completion Plan

If you like UMPI, don't apply there until you are sure that you have enough credits in the right places. If you applied right now, you'd need permission to bring in more credits as soon as you're accepted and you are automatically enrolled.

Thank you for you advice on UMPI.

The Institutes refuses to add ACE credit to Credly if you're not a member. Not sure about the others, but the credits are probably lost. Unfortunately.

With all of your ALEKS credits, you should be able to easily get the Pierpont BOG AAS with an Area of Emphasis in Mathematics. I would start there because your Pierpont degree appears to be 100% complete - you only need to apply and send in your credits for evaluation.

For a Bachelor's degree, you say you want "anything", but what would actually suit your needs the best? With the Pierpont AAS, you could get a BAS (Bachelor of Applied Science) from UMPI easily enough. But would a business degree suit your needs better? Or a degree in something else entirely? Quickest and least expensive are in the eye of the beholder. If you can't stand doing papers, UMPI may not be the quickest and cheapest route to a degree. If it would take you 5 sessions (10 months) to complete a UMPI degree because you are slow at writing papers, you might be better off going to one of the Big3 where you can do more exams than papers.

Thank you. I will try the Pierpont AAS first.  A business degree would better in my situation. I'm still researching UMPI and the Big3. Thank you for your assistance.
