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

Commitments: Kids/spouse and my pets. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends. I am off Fri-Sun, so I use those three days to really focus on my classes, along with a couple of hours each night during the week.

Dedicated time to study: Fri-Sun 10-12 hrs a day, plus a couple of hours each night throughout the week.

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 1-1.5 years (12-18 months)
I’d like to possibly get a Masters later. My biggest goal is to open opportunities for change in career or promotion. I’m currently in data analytics and find it boring. I miss team work and management.

Tuition assistance/reimbursement: nope
 
I'd like to avoid SDC courses, I don't like the idea of proctor, and reading many comments it seems as though many of the classes are easier at UMPI.

Am I missing anything else I can take through Sophia? I plan to finish by September and apply to UMPI then for Oct start. I know somethings are changing as far as class formats.

Welcome to the board, I would review the WIKI for UMPI: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI
General Education: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...ts_Roadmap
BABA M&M Link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan
Just make sure to max your transfer of about 90 or credits and try to do only the minimum 10 at UMPI

I looked there the one thing I'm a little worried about is the macro and micro class the wiki says take both but other places have said just macro.

I'm avoiding study.com classes based on some others reviews compared to umpi...but that may change as reviews come out about the new platform and how classes may change

You should be able to get everything you need from Sophia - https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...quivalents
You will need to take both Micro and Macro to meet their (UMPI) Economics requirement for the BABA

[rachel83az]

For Sophia, you definitely need both Micro and Macroecon. There have been a couple of students who have gotten by with just one (from another university, IIRC), but I wouldn't count on it also happening to you. You absolutely do not need Study.com, but you could take Google's Project Management certificate on Coursera (free through TADA). https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera That would get you some UL Business credits so that you would have at least one fewer class to take at UMPI.

[bjcheung77]

Furthermore, Macro/Micro is required at most (if not all) the colleges/universities that are on our list. You have the opportunity to use alternative credit to complete these requirements, inexpensively, instead of taking a 3 month/12 week or similar course at a community college. I think that's a great deal for getting the 'business core basics courses' done quickly...

Some of these I can guess at, but others I can't.  Better to list the course names out so we know what PSC 101 is or MGT 201 or CSS 106, there's no way we can know what these all are.

Also don't know what Phil 1005 and Comm 1010 are at Sophia.  Easier to list the names Sophia calls them on their website, since I have no idea where you got those numbers (guessing their transfer equivalencies at UMPI, but not certain on that).

[ss20ts]

Please list out which community college you took these courses at and what the courses are. Course numbers are meaningless outside of that school. UMPI has a transfer database so we can see what has transferred in the past and how it transferred in. I'd also list out the Sophia names. people on here don't study the numbers, but we know the names of the courses.
