Foreign Language: I turned in my 9th grade transcript to HCC and they gave me credit for Spanish II Honors, and I graduated HCC with an AA in Psychology, Now, as far as my level of Spanish-anything nowadays?? lol. If I have to retake a course for a Bachelor's degree, I will do my best!

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0

Any certifications or military experience? I've held previous Certifications with the Florida Certification Board for CBHT - Certified Behavioral Health Technician and CRPS_P - Certified Recovery Peer Specialist (Provisional on completing work hours). For both certifications I went through hours and hours of (documented) training and passed an exam for both. To sum it up, course work included learning about crisis intervention, medical terminology, patient rights, and so forth. I also hold certifications under Florida Department of Children & Families and Central Florida Behavioral Health Network that include Peer Recovery Training and Wellness Recovery Action Plan training. I don't know if University of Maine Presque Isle can transfer any of this to credits, but I thought that I would add it. I also have over 10 years of experience working in social services/healthcare with foster care and drug use/mental health by mentoring at-risk youth to put it simply.



Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  

Commitments: I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.

Dedicated time to study: I estimate at least 3 hours every weeknight and, on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish in 2024, one or two terms.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I work in social services; I believe there is tuition assistance up to a certain amount.

I have looked over the Bachelor of Arts in Psychology degree at University of Maine Presque Isle, and it doesn't look too intimidating. Some of it, I have even completed already. But to meet the 120 Credits, would I need to use Sophia Learning for electives? I am going to keep looking over this forum, I appreciate everyone who's already unknowingly helped me, and anyone else who'll read this topic and offer guidance. Registration deadline is 12/12/23 so I'm prepared to take a few Sophia Learning courses if need be.

Edit: Wait a minute... is a Bachelor's of Liberal Studies: Management Minor a good route? I read that I could use Political Science as my second minor and the course seems to be mostly electives.
