Welcome to the board, great initial post with the addendum and template details. I suggest you apply for UMPI BLS with a minor of your choice and see where your credits fall. Work on the remaining general education classes required with Sophia.org until that is done, then send in all the credits for evaluation. You can decide from a few minors and also get the 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL later.
Update us with the evaluation, I want to see the highlighted areas indicating what is remaining.
