(106 Credits) Degree Planning Advice
#1
Question 
Your Location: Amarillo TX
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: BA/BS/BAS
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 54
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 52
Any certifications or military experience?: 35 JST Credits
Budget: Not too concerned about the budget, I have the GI Bill and Hazelwood ACT for free tuition with a TX School.
Commitments: Not too many right now.
Dedicated time to study: All the time.
Timeline: ASAP.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Nothing beyond what I described above.

Extra Details: I have an Associate in Applied Science in Technical Studies at Excelsior with the concentration in Electrical Technology. Was considering the BAS from UMPI. I'm trying to move to South America in a year and wanted to have something more credible than my AS when I live there. I'm kind of tired of college and want to finish as soon as possible. I bought Coursera with their $200 for the year deal and was considering getting the Google Data Analytics and IT Support Certificates. I'll do Sophia if I have to. I'll CLEP more if I have to. Some of my credits are 15 years old. Some are a year old. I've never really stopped going to college. Just taken long breaks. Some of my JST credits are considered repeats, but I understand it all depends on the school evaluating them. I'm just wanting feedback and opinions on if I should apply now or get more credits first. Or even if anyone knows something I may have overlooked.
