UMPI BABA Project Management with Zero Starting Credits

@ChickenEnjoyer, Welcome to the board, that's a good introduction post with most of the details we're looking for. My suggestion is to get a mix/match of the trifecta of certs, degree, experience. Here are options out of many that will fit your budget, energy, time, it really depends on which way you want to go.

1) Do the UMPI BABA with a concentration of your choice, Management & Leadership or Project Management & Info Systems, you can follow the steps on the WIKI to do the Coursera certs and other cheapies/freebies, using these credits towards the UMPI BABA, if you have the extra time, you can ladder that up to UMPI MAOL by taking 3-4 classes that exempt you for 3 classes towards the MAOL.

2) For extra 5 classes or so, do the TESU BACS/BSBA CIS combo, similarly, do the same steps as UMPI as they take some Coursera Certs and cheapies/freebies, you're also going to do pretty much the same Sophia.org credits that go towards both TESU/UMPI anyways. You can decide on what you want to do after the Bachelors, there are others such as the $3K HAU MBA or $4300 MAOL.

3) With the changes done to the Finnish system, you may still be able to get the Metropolia 579 Euro 3/4th of a BSIT degree for amazingly cheap, the downside is it's not going to be fast, you may also get the final year for either free or for a few extra dollars, you're going to decide if you want to take this slower route or not, it may take you the full 3 years vs less than 1 for TESU/UMPI...
