Returning to school Spring...next week. Terrified

"Thank you, I'll work on the template. Appreciate the feedback, I looked at all the above. UMPI just appeared to be the fastest and took all of my really old college credits."

As per my reply, Excelsior takes 113, TESU takes 114, depending on what the 172 credits are (if it's lower level, upper level), you might already have everything but the 6-7 credits. I suggest planning after you know what credits are able to transfer, comparing spreadsheets would be your best bet to decide on the degree and institution.

"I originally started out looking at UMGC since I took classes there years ago, but even they did not accept as many."

If you still have eligibility for military (military spouse) tuition at any of the institutions I mentioned, including UMGC, you may be able to finish cheaply, especially with TESU by doing their TECEPs for residency purposes and the cornerstone/capstone. If you have 30 UMGC credits already, you can transfer everything into their General Studies degree.

"When you say it may take me three terms is that because of the available time I have or the course aren't really at your pace. I was hoping to speed through those I know the information, such as project management."

Review your original post, 80 hours of work/week, again, without much info on the addendum and template, it's going to be hard to gauge how you will do. People who are working 40 hours/week may be able to finish in two terms if they have enough energy/time management, you should expect three at minimum if not more.

"I breezed through the Google and sophia business and project management courses. I was hoping the papers would be my biggest time suck."

Google/Sophia, open book classes, and any other non-proctored ACE/NCCRS, would be ideal for you. The only thing remaining would be the assignment based cornerstone/capstone options for Excelsior/TESU. Again, you're going to decide based on what you know and can accomplish... You decide the cheap, easy, fast mix/match of your choice.
