UMPI doesn't have a Finance minor, you're taking some Finance classes through Study.com just to get more familiar with it and to get the check the box degree.  TESU has the BSBA Finance AOS, it uses the same credits from Study.com, but again, it's not a real Finance degree, it's just an area of study within Business Administration.  You may want to do the 90 credits that can go either way and decide from TESU vs UMPI, here's a post I mentioned in regards to multiple minors at UMPI...

Thats ok if they don't have a finance degree. I was just referring as to take a degree with more financial and business related courses than going all the way for the Information Technology path.

I just noticed UMPI has Project Management and Management minor which I can happily choose from. I will be fine going for one of those two. How do i get the 90 credits to go for UMPI BSL and go for Project management minor? is there a degree plan threat for me to follow it? I'd like to follow an structure suggested degree plan suggested by this forum, if you don't mind sharing with me? whichever is faster and affordable.

Thanks

For my roles I never really needed a college degree but I have always wanted to completed as a personal fulfillment, potential career progression and to lead my children as example, but I’ve been deferring it and finally I’d like to put the work on it. 
I have completed probably like 16 credits when I attempted college years ago. I’m looking to get your advice on a degree that I can complete fast, super affordable and mostly online. This degree could be within the financial realm or any other degree you may recommend as long as is not too long, fast to complete it, etc. 
I thank you in advance for your support! Rolleyes

Hey! Taking into consideration your experience, you may consider obtaining a degree in Business Administration or Finance. One may find online programs in any school like SNHU or WGU may be cheap and fast. Ask if they will take your current credits to enable you complete at a faster rate. Well done on your degree, or as the American’s would say ‘congratulations on your degree’.

That's so weird, I thought I had copy/pasted the link in my thread reply earlier... But from your quote and my reply, it's missing, hmm.... Oh well, a senior member got you covered! We're a collaborative collective that's here to help you succeed, I would follow through with max transfer of your current credits in addition to the ones from Sophia.org and Study.com or other ACE options, then complete the residency credits at UMPI to finish in 1 or 2 sessions.
