Any certifications or military experience? None
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easier (open book) courses. I am also eligible for military discount (as a spouse), if that is available.  
Commitments: I am a stay at home mom and my husband is deployed. I do all the cooking, cleaning/maintaining our home, and keeping our kids alive by myself. I have 2 homeschooled teens who are also working on their degree and I help them as much as I can. 
Dedicated time to study: I estimate at least 6 hours every week day and 8 hours total on the weekends. Roughly 30+8=38 hours 
Timeline: I completed all of the Sophia credits in 2 weeks, so I am highly motivated, but I have MS, which has left me with severe memory issues. My ability to process new information has diminished considerably, which has been devastating. Once I complete every open book course that I can, the speed at which I will be able to complete a class will unfortunately slow down. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

After creating business degree plans and watching my teens work their way through sophia courses, I decided that I want to go back to school and earn my own degree. As stated above, I have MS and struggle retaining new information. Ideally, I would like to be able to do open book courses for the vast majority of my degree if possible. I know that sophia and lawshelf both allow open book, but if there are any other resources you could recommend, I would greatly appreciate it. I am currently putting everything together to submit for Pierpont's BOG degree. Afterwards, I am looking at a liberal arts degree in order to check the box of having a bachelors, but I am having a difficult time figuring out where I should get the Liberal Arts degree from. I would love to get some feedback on which college/university you would recommend. I can also post the list of the other sophia courses I plan on taking if that is helpful. Thank you so much!
