Most Efficient Use of Transfer Credits
#1
Hello, 

I found this forum through Reddit recently, and I am pouring through the posts to gain as much information as I can! For context - I had never heard of Sophia until finding this forum, so I am still fairly green. 

I have an associates degree in Human Services from Kaplan University (now Purdue), and need to obtain a bachelors degree to move forward in my next career step. What the bachelors degree is for is not relevant, but must be from a regionally accredited school. I jumped around a lot during my initial college career, so my credits are all over the place. The goal is to spend the least amount of money and waste the least amount of existing credits. I was considering a Bachelor of Professional Studies, as I was told I may be able to use some work experience for additional credits to move along a bit faster.  

Your Location: California, USA
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors - any focus
Current Regional Accredited Credits:

Note: I actually have a few more credits from Patten University and Walden University, just waiting on those transcripts. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

ETA: I was looking at BS in Early Childhood Studies – Tempo Learning (Non-Licensure) program at Walden University, as the classes seemed interesting and it's a self-paced program, however I believe I'd be wasting a lot of credits.
