Thanks all for the responses. It’s been a while since I started this, so some of the details are foggy. I did read the Pierpont wiki, which helped clear up some things. I’ll try to answer most of the above:
1. I have precious little free time. My work can be intense. I manage a large team and large projects, so I’m often mentally exhausted and spend free time outdoors, traveling, with hobbies, or simply doing nothing. So that’ll explain why I strayed from finishing this. Also, my career did progress very well and, again, I’m currently in an industry where no one cares about a degree. That said, I’d be lying if I said this doesn’t feel like a to do list item that needs striking. I hate leaving things incomplete, it’s the OCD in me!
2. The previous college credits were almost 20 years ago. I don’t remember what I have and would have to look back.
3. I believe my AP English credits fall under Literature. At least, that’s what I seem to recall being the reason for taking Composition. Does AP count for this degree, and what are they categorized as, ACE? Also, yes, I recall doing Comp with Essay.
4. Important addendum to time note, I am a very fast learner and test well. With all my CLEP/DSST tests, I’d usually go through flash cards once and would pass the test. I’d say max I would study is 3-4 hours. So for any additional RA credits needed, I would love to find an option that’s self paced, lacks time constraints, and allows me to test out quickly.
I honestly think the above is why I avoided higher education and taught myself to function in my career. School always bored me and moved too slow. And I was always anti-busywork.
The UMPI bachelor sounds great too. I like the self paced aspect and a couple of the majors are in my field, so I think I could hopefully blast through it in a few sessions.
