Your Location: NJ
Your Age: 43
What kind of degree do you want?: BS in either Organizational Leadership or General Management are probably my best options
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 30 total
Camden County Community College:

Physical Conditioning/Police Academy - 3
Emergency Response - 6
Atlantic Cape Community College:
Intro to Criminal Justice - 3

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0, possibly 6
Any certifications or military experience?: NJ State Association of Chiefs of Police Command & Leadership Academy. States it is an approved ACE course, but doesn't say how many credits. Other similar courses say 6 UL Organizational Leadership credits, which is why I stated "possibly 6" to the previous question.
Budget: $5K, if possible
Commitments: Full-time job with commute. Also 3 kids and a wife, though my wife is committed to seeing me graduate quickly.
Dedicated time to study: As much as possible, including commute time.
Timeline: ASAP. My job is slowly killing me.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
I've been reading this forum for a few days. I think I understand the concept of piecing together a degree. Please let me know if I'm understanding this correctly. First, I should do my online work like Sophia, Study.com, Davar, Coursera. Then I should enroll in TESU. Maybe just sign up for the 1 credit TECEP, even if I never take it. That entitles me to (unlimited?) transcript evaluations. I absolutely need to do the cornerstone (is this the Information Literacy?) and the capstone at TESU. If I don't do a minimum of 15 credits at TESU, I'm charged a fee, so it makes sense to just take the 15 credits there. E-packs satisfy that requirement. Once my transcript has been evaluated, then do my semester at TESU so I absolutely know what is required of me to graduate.
Is all of that correct?
