Self-paced online college without essay?

Currently I have 95 college credits, a lot from sophia.org, and some from community college and UMPI.

The problem with UMPI is that basically everything is written essays and I strongly prefer multiple choice exams for the simple fact that I am just not a good writer.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of an accredited online college/university that accepts transfer credits and is mostly tests with questions? 

I understand that it is impossible to avoid essays altogether, but for an English class that is understandable, not so much for a business class, which is my major. (Business Admin) 

Also I know about WGU, but I would like to know if there was somewhere that exists that I can take classes at my own pace, and without exams being proctored which would only slow me down.

Thank you!
There's nothing like that. They wouldn't be able to get accredited.

The good thing is, the more you have to write essays the better you get at it. I see that you are studying business administration, which makes me think you would be interested in becoming a manager if you aren't already. Writing is an extremely important skill in business administration. If you don't practice writing, you are limiting your chances of promotion. Who knows? Maybe you work for an unusual company that does not require good writing skills of its managers and higher-ups, and that's why you don't feel the need to work on it. But if you ever want to switch companies, you will be glad that you worked on improving that skill.

(Also, writing helps develop critical thinking skills, which are needed by any manager even if they aren't writing much in their jobs. When you are faced with a tough decision at work, nobody is going to give you a multiple choice list to select from.)
