Hello,
I found this forum through Reddit recently, and I am pouring through the posts to gain as much information as I can! For context - I had never heard of Sophia until finding this forum, so I am still fairly green.
I have an associates degree in Human Services from Kaplan University (now Purdue), and need to obtain a bachelors degree to move forward in my next career step. What the bachelors degree is for is not relevant, but must be from a regionally accredited school. I jumped around a lot during my initial college career, so my credits are all over the place. The goal is to spend the least amount of money and waste the least amount of existing credits. I was considering a Bachelor of Professional Studies, as I was told I may be able to use some work experience for additional credits to move along a bit faster.
