FYI I work in healthcare and also work with medical sales reps every day. The culture is…interesting….and based heavily on networking and or how attractive you are (not even kidding). Most medical sales reps I have met are either basically models or frat bros. People see the field as $$$, which it is, but the money to be made isn’t always easy.

Also a health sciences degree with maybe a business minor or MBA follow up may be more useful than a accelerated BABA.

You first need to make sure you decide the degree/school of choice and max the transfer credit, depending on the institution, there are multiple avenues to get the max transfer credit. You need to complete each degree/institution with cost, ease, speed, transfer credit, etc to finish the degree. I would do a comparison by creating that spreadsheet and compare each...

@OP, I got your private message, it's pretty straight forward. Complete your Associates first, then quickly subscribe to the $1/first month Coursera to take advantage of the ACE credits available for transfer into the degree. I suggest taking the ones that provide ACE credit from Google, some can be used for general education/electives and in your major. You need to apply to the UMPI BABA PM&IS degree and send in your transcripts...

Work on your Sophia.org classes that will help you hit the 90+ credit mark. Last but not least, you want to take the 4 classes (even though two would be transferred into UMPI through other sources, you want to take those two at UMPI for residency credit and also exemption for MAOL when the time comes).

It's great you've entered the numbers, but without the class names, it's confusing what you need. An easy option is for you to review the WIKI for the UMPI Plan, take the classes recommended that will transfer, you can take at least 5+ from alternative credit options such as Sophia.org and Study.com, and then try to drop them down until you're at a comfy number of remaining classes. Good luck, have fun, and update us...

Easy, as I mentioned above, if this is the Management & Leadership or Project Management & Info Systems concentration, you can review the WIKI for the exact plan and recommendation, once you have the classes from Sophia.org/Study.com selected, you'll have at least 10 remaining or more.  You can also make sure to review post #13 as that link shows you which 3-4 classes will go towards the MAOL, I can see all 3 of them... thus, those are 3 of 10 you need to do, transfer in as many as you can with the assistance of the WIKI, even if you do accidentally transfer these 3 in, make sure to complete them at UMPI just in case you're going the MAOL route later.  Link: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI

You do NOT want to take UMPI's BIO 105.

Take Human Biology + lab and Environmental Science from Sophia.org.

For the others, refer to the degree plans on the wiki and decide which ones to take at UMPI and which to take elsewhere. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI
