IT degree with A levels & 7 years of work experience

I agree with rachel83az - go get a quick bachelor's degree from UMPI - either the BLS/Management or BLS/Project Management, or else the BABA/Management or BABA/Project Management. I think a business degree would be a really good option, because it's a known quantity everywhere - and could set you up well for the future. You just can't go wrong with a business degree. And I'd probably do Project Management just because it's relevant to IT, so you will probably know a lot of the material already (or can use it at work in the future).

Unlike what we normally tell other people on here, since you have foreign credits, I think you SHOULD do SDC first, rather than Sophia, because you may already have a lot of the GEC covered by previous coursework.

Your best bet in my opinion:
1) go take an ACTFL exam now (probably the OPIc or OPI, which are oral exams) - ONLY do this is you did not take a foreign language at your universities (not English, but any other language course)
2) apply to UMPI, send in your transcripts which will probably take some time due to the foreign thing, so you should get started sooner rather than later
3) come here and list your courses so we can tell you what's left to take
4) sign up for SDC to take English Comp I & II, and anything that you can't take at Sophia (so that would mean things like Managerial Accounting, Business Ethics, the UL courses that Sophia doesn't offer). Yes, Composition is easier to do at UMPI, but you're going to have time on your hands, you may as well make the most of it and get those done while you're signed up for SDC anyway if you can cover the cost.
5) sign up for Sophia and follow the degree plan on the wiki to cover your remaining GEC & free elective requirements.

Again, this is a bit "backwards" from what we normally suggest, but you're already coming in with credits so you don't want to waste time/money on GEC courses that may already be covered. Start on the business core and minor/concentration, and save the GEC through Sophia for the end.
