NA to RA Degree Plan Assistance
#1
I am a long time lurker here and have read more threads here than I care to admit.  I find myself in a bit of a unique situation and would love some input from those who have way more experience than I do.  I am in my 30s and have tried school a couple of different times.  I have a trail of B&M dropouts to prove that I am not a traditional learner.  I have a solid, well-paying career, however, I want to finish a degree, and along the way I have a few checkboxes that I would like to hit.  

I would like to earn an associate degree of SOME kind (even general studies).  This is an important step for me personally, regardless of its logic.

I would then like to continue on to a BA or BS and eventually a masters degree.  I find that this plan is enabled by the various new learning methods that are out there as I seem to thrive in online learning whereas sitting in a class was not for me.

I have 65 various credits completed, 12 in-progress, and another 9-21 planned (maybe). The issue is that 36 of those credits are NA (UoPeople) credits.  I am currently enrolled there and am getting very frustrated at how slow their program is. Two years ago when I started this journey, I did not really understand the difference between NA and RA and how important RA is.

My question is:  Given the attached excel sheet, does anyone know of any RA schools that I could transfer in and complete my associates AS-IS (or as close to as-is as possible)?  Cost is a factor, but not THE factor, and I would consider paying extra for the NA->RA washing, chalking it up to my lack of understanding at the time.

Waiting another 3 semesters to graduate from UoPeople with an NA degree just is not palatable at this time.  After my associates, my plan is to hit up SL, Sophia, Study.com etc, and max out the 90cr transfer option for WGU's Business Administration or IT degree (I have not decided yet).  Again, I know it may sound silly, but I would really like to check the box and have an associates degree under my belt while I continue to move forward on my long term goal of a masters degree.

My apologies if this is posted in the wrong section as it was not 100% clear where I should post degree plan assistance requests and thank you in advance for any advice or time spent reviewing my progress so far!  I know WGU will accept my UoPeople credits as I have already talked to an admission counselor, so the answer may simply be just smile and keep on keepin' on with UoPeople given my choice to go NA, however, I am hoping there is an RA solution to this that will reduce my time to an associates degree so I can focus on building up the rest of the 90 credits for transfer into WGU.
