This is a continuation of a previous post in your other thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid433694As far as length of classes at UMPI. Is it similar to Sophia or similar to Study? Sophia I can do a course a day. Study is more like one a week.
Excelsior max transfer of 113 credits (all RA) or 105 (alternative credit). You can finish the degree of either way, the fastest would be at least 2 terms as the Capstone and Cornerstone can't be done on the same term. The cost will vary from roughly $4K if you transfer 113 up to $7K+, fastest would be 16 weeks.
TESU max transfer of 114 credits (90 Alternative, 24 RA, 6 at TESU) or (90 alternative, 15 RA, 15 at TESU). Depending on which way you do things, you can still get this done in 1 term of 12 weeks. Cost is 6 credits plus residency waiver fee $7628 or the flat rate tuition $4896.
UMPI max transfer of 90 credits, 30 has to be completed at UMPI. You can complete these in 1 session of 8 weeks for $1700. If you need another session, it'll be $3400 for 30 credits in 16 weeks. My suggestion is going the TESU or UMPI route, with UMPI being the heavy favorite.
Basically, UMPI classes are very similar to a Sophia.org / Study.com combo, where you pay for a subscription and take all you can eat at your own pace, that's why it's called "YourPace". The faster you get things done, the lesser it will cost overall. You can take the 4 classes towards the MAOL for later if you need a Masters.
