Thank you all for your feedback re: services like College Hacked.

FYI, the PLA process at UMPI is significantly more difficult and time-consuming than their YourPace classes or the Sophia.org classes you need for GEC/elective requirements. The PLA process at UMPI is less work (and less expensive) than their non-YourPace classes, but YourPace students shouldn't use PLA. Instead, they should use their experiences to complete YourPace classes and/or Sophia.org classes more quickly and efficiently.

Also, PLA credits do not count toward residency. So you'd be doing a lot more work, and spending more money, for no real benefit.

I see. Thank you for mentioning this.

For UMPI, you can progress directly from a Bachelor's degree to the MAOL (and have 25% of the MAOL complete) by taking 3 classes - possibly as electives - during your Bachelor's degree: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Un...L)_at_UMPI This isn't something you can easily do elsewhere. This is a way to "cheat" and have your FAFSA cover (some of) your Master's degree. FAFSA eligibility ends once you graduate. Completing a TESU Master's degree or an Excelsior Master's degree is significantly more expensive, even with the help of TESU's Bachelor's-to-Master's program.

Yes, Thank you. This is what I want to do in conjunction with bjcheung77's suggestions.
