Update: UoPeople only allows one associates and bachelors in the same subject area but allow multiple Masters.
UoPeople and UMPI are my go to recommendations now after UoPeople gained RA recently
For both institutions, you can transfer in 90 credits (or more, but only 90 will go into degree)
UMPI, if you can finish in one session, it's going to cost $1700. Most can complete in two.
UoPeople have partnerships with Sophia, Study.com, StraighterLine, 60 credits free assessment!
UMPI costs: 90 credits from Sophia.org $299 (4months)
If you can finish 10 classes in 1 session, $1700
Total: $1999 USD - 1 UMPI session is 8 weeks
Add AALS as second program and forget it as all courses from Bachelors complete program
UoPeople costs: App fee: $60
90 credits from Sophia.org $299 (4months)
90 credit transfer: (60 are free) 10 classes at $17 = $170
10 classes at $140/assessment = $1400
Total: $1929 for an entire Associates & Bachelors degree
For those looking to get a second bachelors, you can do so with an extra UMPI session or 10 assessments at UoPeople...
Thus, it'll be an extra $1700 at UMPI and for UoPeople, $60 app, plus $170 for 10 class assessment (your major prerequisites)
finally, the $140/assessment for the final 10 classes at UoPeople. Total for UoPeople is an extra $1630 for second bachelors!

Hey there everyone, I have been reading the forum for the past couple of weeks and it's time I finally start pursing a degree.
A small note about my background, I have been working as a software developer for well over 4 years now, but not having a degree made getting interviews for better positions harder - almost impossible - nowadays.
Realistically I know the best option would be to get a CS degree, but I believe with only 4k it would be impossible, so I reckoned the next best course of action is a Business Management degree.
HELP WITH A PLAN? WITH ECONOMIC BREAKDOWN ON OBTAINING THE QUICKEST BACHELOR AND(OR) MASTER DEGREE CAN BE ANY.

I know this will be a very specific niche. But wanted to share something I just discovered.
If you ever considered getting a certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI), If you are a student, membership is only $32 per year, versus $164 per year. Then regular price each year if you renew. I am planning on getting my PMP this year too, so I just signed up to save money on the membership. I will get access to the PMBOK guide to study and other PDU classes. By being a member the certification will cost $425 instead of $675.
When I went to sign up it asked for my name and what school and did an instant verification and I just paid my $32, plus $10 for local chapter yearly fee.
Their certifications are geared towards: Project Managers, Program Managers, Risk Management Professionals, Business Analysts, etc.
Recently created this degree planning tool that maps out transfer pathways via sophia, study, saylor, and straighterline at WGU.
It pulls real-time information from WGU and also lists detailed transfer guideline notes for each course (the same notes that the transcript evaluators use).
I see this a lot when students are picking their major or college.
About Patrick J. McGinnis
He coined the term FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and its lesser-known twin, FOBO (Fear of a Better Option), in a 2004 article at Harvard Business School. FOMO has since been added to the dictionary, and FOBO was the subject of Patrick’s popular TED Talk “How to Make Faster Decisions.”
I reached the conditions necessary to get ASU online for free. So I applied. Not sure if I will actually bother with yet another degree but just wanted to test the process and see how credits transfer. The fee is waived for applications through their partners (such as Starbucks and Uber). I applied for the organizational leadership and Project Management major because I wanted to see how much of the major requirements would be met by my ORGL classes from ETAMU.
What I found so far is all the gen eds are automatically marked complete if you already have a bachelors. I’ll update when they finish evaluating all my credits.
