I have completed the Pierpont Community and Technical College Board of Governors AAS Degree with a concentration in Business.

All advice is welcome. I know there are numerous ways to go forward. I'm researching several of the options that have been discussed here. It's a little overwhelming. I"m looking through the threads for UMPI, TESU, COSC, Pierpont and many others. I have FEMA courses but I don't think those are used now. There are some of the courses listed above that will be considered duplicates by some institutions. Suggestions for quick and/or easy credits are welcome too. Please ask any questions you might have. Thank you.

My suggestion is a ladder to the UMPI degree options here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

COSC is completely out of the picture due to non-acceptance of most credits these days. Because you don't have any UL credit, you can just ignore them.

The courses you have listed, are they all on your Credly transcript?

UMPI is almost certainly going to be your best bet, but you're still going to need at least Human Biology, Human Biology Lab, and Spanish I from Sophia. Check the degree plans on the wiki to see which Business degree appeals the most to you and where your credits will go. Then complete any further necessary credits at Sophia.

No, Degree Services and The institutes are not on Credly transcript.

That's kind of what I thought. In that case, those credits are gone forever because there is no way to prove you took the course and it was ACE-recommended. Many people lost multiple credits when the switch from the old ACE system to Credly happened.

@Adam54321, I wouldn't even bother looking at nominal cheapo/freebie credits that you can't retrieve, I would apply to UMPI and ladder up from your Pierpont BOG AAS with emphasis in Business. As I mentioned in a reply post, review those links and complete the remaining requirements, I suggest you get the BLS with a couple of minors, Management & MIS. If you want, you can do the triple minor which I recommend all the time, add the PM minor.

Note: You have a BOG AAS, I don't know why your 'degree type' still indicates Associates, Bachelors. In any case, you can add the UMPI AALS on route to the BLS minors, you don't do anything to get the degree, you forget it after adding the degree, when you finish your UMPI BLS, all the credits get transferred into the AALS thus, it will be completed at the same time. Again, review the links on post #2 to get the ball rolling, paste your spreadsheet here!

Which ALEKS courses are on your Credly transcript (they changed over the years, so we can't know which are worth credit without the dates you completed each course).

UMPI's BLS will be the quickest/cheapest I'm sure. 

Take the following at Sophia:
American Government
Human Biology w/Lab
Intro to Sociology
Spanish I

Then, you can take the following at UMPI:
English Comp 1
English Comp 2
Hands-on Art course
All of the courses in the minor

[Adam54321]

I had my credits evaluated by UMPI. What degree should I focus on? If is should send it another way please let me know.

@Adam54321, Wow, that's plenty of credits to get you to that 90 credit mark for max transfer! Great job in getting the Pierpont BOG AAS as I mentioned in an earlier post, you can now add your Bachelors. My suggestion has shifted from the BLS I mentioned earlier to the BAS, you can get the double minor or triple minor I suggested OR do a minor and the 4 classes that can go towards the UMPI MAOL. The BAS has more flexible requirements and sounds better (IMHO), your call if you want the BAS vs a BLS, unless you want a BA or BABA instead...
