Your transcript is from a NJ CC, I'm assuming you're a NJ resident so you'll get instate tuition for it without needing to complete anything through study.com first.

I understand what you're saying, but I think I can get it done. 

The Cornerstone I'm going to enroll as soon as I'm accepted. I just went through the course list and took a few practice tests. A lot of them fall under my knowledge and I believe I can pass relatively quickly. 

I have 27 credits, which I think should be accepted. They're pretty standard courses from an in-state CC. If I was to assume that the 27 are accepted, I need 73:

Marketing 302, 303, 306, & 308 I think I can knock through in 2.5-3 weeks
Digital Marketing 309 & Market Research (411) shouldn't hopefully take me more than a week 


Playing conservatively, by the 3rd week of May, that should give me 45 credits, with all of my UL knocked out of the way. That leaves me over 3 months to work through the LL stuff and professional requirements to get another 55. Some of the LL ones I can work through on a semi-daily basis.

2 free electives (2 days) 6 credits
Macroeconomics/Business Communication (10 days) 6 credits
GE Electives (2 days per each/10 days) 15 credits
Statistics (2 days) 3 credits
Ethics (2 days) 3 credits

If I can stick to the above script, that should get me to 78 by the end of June. That will leave me with 19 to go over 2 months (assuming completion of Cornerstone within 3 months of enrollment), which if I went for 21 would equal one course per every 8.5 days and 101 credits by August, basically leaving me with a hellish May/June/July/August, but a fairly smooth ride into graduation in December. 

That is the goal I'm setting for myself. 

My birthday is Friday and I have a ton of stuff to do with the wife and kids over the next few days, but after that, I intend on starting the SDC classes next week. I know they'll transfer here, and if not, they'll transfer to one of the other schools, no need to delay, need to start moving.

Alright here are the quickest things you could do to get started.

1. sophia.org 2 free 1 credit courses (knock them both out in day or less)
2. study.com Library science 101 (knock this out in a day or less as well super easy and useful for cornerstone/capstone prep.
3. study.com presentation skills in workplace (speech requirement, could finish in a few hours if you have enough prior knowledge)

There you go 8 college credits in an instant. If you actually followed your plan and studied like ten hours you could maybe do all 8 credits in a single day.
