How about Pierpont AAS BOG with an area of emphasis in business and then ladder that up to a bachelors from UMPI:

@Bermy18, Welcome to the board, great compact and concise addendum plus template! Basically, you should do the Pierpont BOG AAS with an emphasis of your choice, be it Business or Info Systems, you can then ladder that into the UMPI BAS or a BABA Supply Chain concentration, unless you would like a different concentration. There are so many different pathways, the associates will get you started, in fact, you can add the UMPI AALS as a second program and forget it as the classes you take towards the bachelors will complete the requirements anyways. You should review the degree plan WIKI for UMPI linked to you in post #2 to decide on the degree concentration of choice.

thank you for the help I'll go that route does Pierpont require a minimum in-house credit requirement?

None. You need at least one credit from an actual college. The wiki lists a couple of options to do it cheaply, with the ASU 1 credit course for $25 being the quickest.

RE: Foreigner looking to get an Associate - Carnation - 06-02-2024
Pierpont won't take Intro to College Math.
Pierpont requires:
3 credits Communication = Workplace Communication
6 credits Math AND/OR Science = Environmental Science and College Algebra
3 credits Social Science = U.S. History 1
3 credits Computer Literacy = Intro to Information Technology
45 credits electives = anything you want to fit here
You need 15 credits to have an area of emphasis.
Financial Accounting
Introduction to Business
Managerial Accounting
Principles of Finance
I assume Workplace Communication would complete it.

Basically, I would complete more classes that have no touchstones at Sophia.org, you already have a math class with Intro to Stats, you can take the Intro to College Math for UMPI elective credit, all the classes you take can go towards the BAS or BLS as those two degrees allow up to 60 credits for electives.
