46, Quickest way to check box for promotion - cshrop23@gmail.com - 03-09-2025
Your Location: South Carolina
Your Age: 46
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor’s (quickest is the must important but my career is Business, Finance, HR, PMP)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 16
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: 0
Budget: $10,000, Easy & Fast is most important
Commitments: 60 hr work week + work travel so most would be done on weekends
Dedicated time to study: All day Saturday & Sunday
Timeline: Less than 1 year, I’ve been offered a promotion at work that requires a Bachelor’s Degree and they will only hold the position for so long.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
I would like to test out of everything possible. Tests are fine but would prefer to avoid writing papers as much as possible. Is it quicker to do some courses thru Sophia first and if so which ones will transfer? I’ve been looking at TESU, Excelsior, Charter Oak State & WGU. Thanks so much!

Welcome to the board, great intro post with the basic details... Ouch, all that time on the weekend, but no time on the weekdays, this will cause a problem. If I had a similar scenario, I would take a couple to three sessions at UMPI to finish off the BLS with a minor or two. To start, do all the Sophia.org credits that can transfer to the bulk of the institutions we recommend, afterwards, take the remaining credits at UMPI for residency purposes.
