I think you've already got more than 60 credits, too, so you should be good there. You should have at least 15 credits that count toward Info Systems, too. But, just in case, I would suggest Sophia's Intro to Web Development if you still have a subscription. You should be able to complete that in just a few hours. Same thing with IT Career Exploration.
If you don't have a current Sophia subscription, you could also sign up for The American Dream Academy and either do another Google Cert or two or the IBM Cybersecurity cert for free: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera
Again, I don't think these things are strictly necessary to be able to get the Pierpont degree, but they could look good on the Pierpont transcript.
I agree with rachel83az on getting as many tech credits added to the Pierpont degree upfront. In case your return to Purdue doesn't work out but you decide you do need 'a bachelor' and prefer one in technology you could go the UMPI BAS-MIS route - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...PI-BAS-MIS (recent reports is that they are looking for 40 technical credits so see which certs give you the most bang for the buck at Pierpont, there is a breakdown of this on the wiki). You could then look move forward with the Cybersecurity at the master level when time/money allowed - or other certification paths that are available in that field.
