@dadof3, you're pretty much 'stranded' and similar distance to finishing at any of the three... You'll need about the same energy, time to complete a degree at any of them. Most of the time, people focus on the credits and wanting to transfer in the max, thinking that would bring them closer. It really boils down to the last 30 credits, where you can finish fastest... You need to create a spreadsheet of all 3 universities you want to continue at and then place the credits you have remaining. In brief, depending on your energy, time allocated to complete the journey, it'll be close to this...

Excelsior - 8 weeks ACE/NCCRS, 8 weeks Info Lit/Cornerstone, 8 weeks Capstone, example time of 24 weeks. Cost is $4K at EU plus whatever you will be paying for ACE/NCCRS, you can take from several providers to get the 24 UL you need, plus cornerstone/capstone.

TESU - 8 weeks ACE/NCCRS, 12 weeks for Cornerstone/Capstone combo with an example time of 20 weeks. Cost is $3K plus another $3288 for the residency waiver fee, unless you decide to play with 16 credits in the 12 week term. I think it's too much for most people to complete 16 credits.

UMPI - 4 weeks ACE credits for up to 90 credit transfer, 7 weeks first session, if you need a second session, another 7 weeks. Each session is $1400, pretend it'll take two sessions. You're looking at 18 weeks total for example and you're paying $2800 at UMPI plus anything else you need for the ACE credits.

Just by looking at that, you most likely get the best bang for the buck with transferring your remaining credits to UMPI from Sophia or another provider (1 month at $99 may do the trick). Complete the remaining credits in two sessions, if you need a third for some odd reason, you're just at $4200 and at 25 weeks total time. My recommendation once again is UMPI BABA PM&IS...
