Which degree with these credits?
#1
Hi all,
I made a poor attempt at a bachelors degree long ago, starting in 2005. My transcript is on hold until June 1st, so I can't send to UMPI for evaluation.
Here's what I have from there:

Human Bio (3)
Comp/Lit 1 (4)
Comp/Lit 2 (4)
Stellar Astronomy (3)
Contemporary Math (3)
Art of Music Listening (3)
Gen. Psych (3)
Intro to Archaeology (3)
Intro to Phil: Practical Reasoning (3)
Understanding Movies (3)
Pre-Calc (4)
CS- Info Systems (4)
Intro to Programming (4)
Sense of Politics (3)
Visual Programming (3)
Principles of Acct 1 (3)
Microeconomics (3)
Intro to Soc. (3) 
Principles of Marketing (3)
Technical Report Writing (4)
Macroeconomics (3)
Spreadsheets & Databases (3)

I've been brushing up on some Sophia courses and have completed:
Art History 1
Intro to Info Tech
Intro to Business
Visual Communications
Intro to Ethics
Environmental Science
Critical Thinking
Essentials of Managing Conflict
Business Communications
Foundations of Statistics
Workplace Communications
US History 1
Ancient Greek Philosophers

I'm wondering if I could get some input on what would be the quickest way for me to get my Bachelors. My employer will pay for an MBA once i'm done but I have to do it quick. I've got 10+ years experience in business and currently work in communications/lobbying. I can work on classes at work and like to stay up late, so I would say 2-3 hours per day. I'm good at writing papers and researching.

Just looking for next steps to fill out the max credits before starting on July 1st.

Thank you!

@duetomorrowdotomorrow, Welcome to the board, that's a good intro post with a slimmed down addendum and template... Basically, UMPI BABA for the win... I suggest you apply, wait for an evaluation from UMPI to see where you stand, you can get the UMPI AALS added as a second program and 'forget it', you will have the program complete when you finish the Bachelors, I suggest either the BABA Management & Leadership or Project Management & Info Systems concentration, unless you have too many credits that go as electives, you can then go for the BLS with a minor or two of your choice...

Thanks for all the info! As stated, my official transcript will not be available until June 1st. I believe this means that I can't get a credit eval done before then.

I don't want to waste any time doubling up classes, or taking ones that don't transfer to UMPI. But I also have 5 months that I could be working on something!

That's interesting, I don't see it as an obstacles like you do, as I prompt everyone to work on the trifecta of certs, degree, experience. Since you didn't fill in the addendum or template, I don't know much about your situation at all, but if you've read my posts, I tell people to mix/match the trifecta the best they can and get a balanced approach of them.

You also need to create a spreadsheet template to keep record and track your progress, you'll also see a visual of what classes are missing by following the WIKI for the degree of choice. You also need to link us to that spreadsheet on your google/one drive as a viewable (not editable) file, and we'll update you with recommendations.
