I already know he is capable, having the PMP certification.  If you know anything about the PMP certification, is that he does know how to study, it takes extensive preparation

Having reviewed his information in entirely now, the WGU school is a solid choice as a suggestion, for someone who can retain information and pass exams, versus a lot of writing that will be planned at UMPI. 

As someone who has experience in project management, I can confidently say that the OP didn't need to extensively prepare for the PMP exam as they have a significant amount of experience in PM. 

Also as someone who has completed 2 bachelor's degrees at UMPI, an MBA at Amberton, and am now working on a master's at WGU, I would agree with others that WGU is not the best choice for the OP. While WGU states that they accept up to 90 transfer credits, the harsh reality is that they rarely do. I'm not sure where you got the idea that there's little writing at WGU, because there's quite a bit. No program is all exams. All programs are a combo of exams, papers, and projects at WGU. WGU tech programs also have a lot of certifications required which is even more time consuming because you have to study for those exams which aren't from WGU. You can't even finish the course until you pass the cert exam. This can hold you up big time. Given that the OP has extensive PM experience, I'd say go for the BABA with Project Management Concentration at UMPI. Because of their knowledge and experience, they will most likely be done in 1 possibly 2 terms at UMPI. Even with working 60 hours a week, they could complete the degree in 6 months (or less) to at the most a year and they wouldn't be at UMPI for a year.
