Path Recommendation for 50 y.o. male in US

[bjcheung77]

@ill13, Wow, you're just like me on the other board, before I became a moderator there as well... I was a lurker on DegreeInfo for several months before I joined their board in October 2002...  Anyways, great intro post with addendum and template, it's compact, concise, and to the point...  

Since you're starting from scratch, you should work on the trifecta of certs, degree, experience, you've got the experience part down pat, so I recommend to focus on the cheapie/freebie certs that give credit towards the degree.  In brief, Pierpont BOG AAS, UMPI BAS MIS minor, along with some cheapie/freebie certs...

My recommendation is this: Start with the $25 ASU class that provides 1 graded RA credit, the cheapies/freebies from Coursera Plus, then Sophia.org for 90+ credits, this is to get you the Pierpont BOG AAS with Info Systems emphasis.  Ladder that up to the UMPI BAS MIS degree, you will need to do 30 residency credits to finish.  

Complete the cheapies/freebies on the WIKI, You shoot for the Pierpont BOG AAS, ladder those to UMPI BAS or BLS, (add the UMPI AALS and forget it as your classes are done when you finish the BAS/BLS). Here are the links to the programs I'm referring to...

Freebies: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Fr..._of_Credit
Pierpont: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC
UMPI: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Un...esque_Isle

Another slightly different option if you're looking for a Business instead of Info Systems approach: This is a thread for a degree, review the entire thread and click the linked thread on the last post: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...e-Pathways

On this particular last post, it illustrates how to get the Pierpont BOG AAS, Bachelors & Grad Cert with ENEB+Sophia.org for under $1K, however, you want to do the Pierpont BOG AAS, and get UMPI BAS/BLS with a couple minors of your choice instead using the same classes.
