Any certifications or military experience?
Outside of the Coursera certs, no.

Budget: $10k per year? Flexible. I’m shooting for easy and fast.  
Commitments: Full time remote work, spouse.
Dedicated time to study: 4 hours per day.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Yes, my workplace has tuition reimbursement for $3,500 per calendar year. FAFSA direct lending qualified if needed, no grants or scholarships.

Notes: My RA credits are from two state colleges the 1990s; but I never finished a degree.  I’m a middle manager in IT.  I work full time remote and have flexible hours, so I can dedicate the time necessary to get the classwork done.
Looking for that next step in my career but advancing in leadership requires an advanced degree.

Discovered this forum and CBE about a month ago and started digging. I initially applied and was accepted to WGU for the Accelerated BS+MSIT with a February start, but have been hearing horror stories of the proctoring and honestly don’t really need an IT degree or further technical certifications. Then discovered UMPI and Pierpont. 

I believe I have more than enough to get my BOG AAS at Pierpont, and I’ve applied and been accepted. Unfortunately I didn’t apply until after the October cutoff for December graduation so I’m looking at May 2024 graduation. Awaiting transcript evaluation.

A few weeks ago I also applied to UMPI for a January start; waiting to get confirmation back. Awaiting transcript evaluation. The BAS looked good vs. the BLS, but with the May Pierpont graduation I mentioned I’m not sure I want to wait.  Now looking at a BABA PM & IS. Maybe just stick with the BLS MIS since I plan to move a Masters, and I’m not sure anyone cares what your Bachelors was in when you have a higher-level terminal degree?

Speaking of which, I plan to move on to a Masters program, either MAOL at UMPI, or an MBA at WGU or elsewhere.

Further out in the future, I’m hearing that South.EDU is starting a DBA in IT administration next year depending on how I survive.

Should I go with WGU? Wait until after May to get my Pierpont AAS to go with UMPI BAS? Go with UMPI BABA?

Sorry if that was too verbose.  ?  Open to any suggestions!  Thanks!
