Degree Questions - Bubblywater - 03-09-2025
Good Afternoon, I read a bunch of content and I guess I want validation/verification before I start on my journey in some aspect or another.
First thing first....
Your Location: North Carolina
Your Age:35
What kind of degree do you want?: Not leaning one way or another, I was looking at liberal arts/studies with a minor in project management
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have some Gen Ed credits, and criminal justice from a long time ago. But for the ease of life lets say 0
Budget: 35 year old, i've done well in my life. So not stressed about money
Commitments: I travel for work acting as a Project Manager. I do plan review, but have a lot of down time in hotels
Dedicated time to study: I would say 4-5 hours a day, weekends all day. No kids.
Timeline: Honestly no Timeline, but i'm a big pusher just to get things over with. I don't procrastinate till i'm almost done with something lol.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I haven't looked in to it.
Little more about myself, I was a Property Manager for 5 years, Project Manager for 10, then currently I have a odd role that I work under a architect and engineer doing plan review and acting as project manager. I prefer to follow a guide. I dont mind writing and or test taking. ( Does anyone else have any other guides that have ran across that they like? I was thinking UMPI and or WGU? Other schools work for me too) I honestly have never liked school, so I'm honestly just looking for a piece of paper. I'm sick of being asked do I have a degree and saying no....people who have seen my work are impressed but it's always that little bird in the back of my head chirping going you suck lol. So any advice and or assistance would be amazing. I'm sure you guys get a lot of request asking for guides but I did look around and if you have any that stand our thats perfectly fine. For myself i'm just wanting the paper nothing more.
Thank you again
I've looked around at a few websites, like plottedpath. But I honestly rather stay with Sophia and study before I move to a university. I was looking at the info below. Inculding but other items as well:

RE: Degree Questions - bjcheung77 - 03-10-2025
Welcome to the board, great intro post with addendum and template, you should do the UMPI BLS with PM minor, you can always add a second minor if you wanted and/or add the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL later. Just a note, UMPI requires all transcripts to be submitted, so you won't be at 0...
Even if those classes are in electives, it'll still transfer over as long as the letter grade is high enough, otherwise it won't transfer over. I suggest reviewing the UMPI WIKI to see what the 3-4 MAOL classes are and the UMPI Links to see the general education requirements and what degree plans are available.
