@newman, skip UMPI for now, put it on your back up list instead. The institution I would recommend for your son is TAMUC instead for various reasons, the main one being it's a local Texas institution, you need to review a few threads, but technically, you can transfer in 90 credits into the program using the RA/CLEP/ACE options your son currently has. A few members chose TAMUC over UMPI recently...
The kicker isn't just that, because you're in Texas, it'll be half the price of UMPI as it's $750/term at TAMUC versus $1400/session at UMPI, but the icing on the cake really is, if you plan resourcefully, the degree plan you have in place for TAMUC can be identical to the one for UMPI in regards to the 90 credits, the only difference in their degrees would be the final residency requirements!
