He has completed almost all Sophia Learning courses for UMPI's BABA in Management & Leadership program, but unfortunately, he is too young to enroll.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!!!

UMPI doesn't offer any of these programs in YourPace. 

His best bet is going to be TESU since he's looking to use ACE credits. He'll still need RA credits at TESU.

Cumberlands is a good choice too. The tuition includes all the books & they accept a good amount of ACE credits.

My recommendation is to put together a spreadsheet with a tab for each possible choice school and do the best that you can in mapping the possible credits that could be accepted:

-For TESU, use the degree maps available - the business degrees are very similar and the Sophia courses will go mostly into the general education, a little bit in the business core and into electives. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:TESU
-For Cumberlands, the following thread has a pretty good listing of what transferred in from Sophia for a business degree: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/attachment.php?aid=4735
-For Columbia Southern, check the required courses for the degree and use the Sophia page to map what your son already has.

This will give you a solid place to start. You can also share your spreadsheet (read only) here from Google Sheets so others could provide better advise.

With TESU, it is a good idea to just apply to lock in the catalog and get your upfront initial evaluation: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison_State_University
