Guidance Requested: Is this right for me?

Since you already have professional experience through the military I do not think that going for the English over Marketing would hurt you. And since it is coming to light that you seem more interested in that path, that is likely the path you should choose. The degree that matter the most is the one you complete, and you're more likely to complete the one that interests you the most. I missed it but somewhere here it was mentioned that you may not always have access to internet for long periods of time - I'm reading that as you may not have long blocks of time (required for proctoring) vs regular access but only for short periods of time (enough time to upload written papers).  If that is the case then UMPI may be better than TESU, as TESU credit options are heavy on proctoring (not a scaring thing, just many give you an hour or two solid internet connection time) vs UMPI most courses are written papers (meaning a short internet to upload/download the papers you write offline works well).  Also Sophia is all you need outside of UMPI to complete, and they use bio metric vs camera proctoring - far more friendly to occasional internet connection at a low cost (although you must be connected while you work on any of these alt credits).  I would recommend you start off with Sophia working towards completing what you need to UMPI (skip comp I & II for now, they are recommended to take at UMPI), for the most part they are all Gen Eds - https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents

All of UMPI's course content is only available online. You can't download it. You must have internet access to access the content. You also need access to libraries for academic research journals for your papers.
