Hi VCV!

I think I've been here long enough to offer you a hearty welcome!

I too am in your age range.

I'll say this up front; I'd never seriously have started back to school without the input of this place.

I also wanted to go to APU; I liked the idea of an AS in explosive ordnance disposal.

My suggestion to you is this:

throttle back on the college selection for now. Really pore over this site. Go to a school that will maximize your credits. Just because APU will offer direct credits, you may be able to do the same thing, but better with the portfolio / prior learning assessment paths at the so-called Big 3 schools.

Your biggest thing besides figuring out a credit path is financing. Will your employer help you with paying for the degree? If so, the options broaden.

At any rate, I am a poor college student in both financing and aptitude. I will be coming up on a year now, and I am well over 50 percent of the way to a BACHELORS from an accredited college, thanks to this place. Only thing I can tell you is get to it; faster you start, faster you'll be finished.

Good luck!
