Degree planning help request
#1
I have worked on classes for something like 10 years, but never really pursued the things I knew I COULD succeed at or was interested in, so now's the time!
Previous attempts resulted in many credits but no final success. I have near zero desire to attempt Calc IV, Diff Eq, etc again.

Currently, I have no degree- actively working to fulfill my LAST class with ACE credit for an Associate's from my local CC. My career field only has 2 or 3 programs in the US for a Bachelor's, so I'd rather get something more relevant/broad. I am working through some Sophia classes, but mostly still trying to plan out what I need and mildly overwhelmed by the amount of information as well as the recent changes to some credit acceptance (TESU).

Leaning TESU or UMPI, but still not fully understanding the difference between them and what benefits I may be missing.

If you see where I can get a faster degree, great, but I'm not SUPER excited about more health courses, hence the org leadership.
