You can transfer in 90+ credits to UMPI and they accept a lot of alternative credits. You should take a look at the degreeforum wiki as there are many degree maps/plans utilizing Alt credits. If you transfer in 90 credits (you can transfer in more but you still have to complete 30 credits at UMPI), you should be able to complete it in 2-3 sessions (4-6 months). You can complete as many courses as you can during a session but only 2 can be active at the same time. Only the final is graded but you have to complete several ungraded milestones to unlock it. The final is either an essay or project and a detailed rubric and instructions will be included as well.
I completed 12 courses at UMPI in one session (8 weeks) by skipping all the content and focusing on just completing the finals with knowledge of my previous work experience. I got a 3.9 gpa due to the detailed instructions. However, ss20ts is correct: I didn't really learn anything. I actually regretted rushing so much that I'm now doing an in-person masters degree. A generous timeline for getting the alt credits and completing UMPI would be 9 months: Sophia+Coursera (alt credit) ~3 months + at least 10 courses at UMPI ~6 months.
