As a currently enrolled UMPI student, here is my advice. It looks like you're going for a business degree at UW. UMPI has several opportunities for business degrees including a BA in Business Administration with concentrations in Accounting, Project Management, and Management & Leadership. There's also a BLS (Bachelor's of Liberal Studies) with minors in Project Management, Accounting, Management, and Management Information Systems.

At UMPI, you will be required to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. You will be required to complete the GEC (their gen eds). You will be required to complete a specific number of UL credits. This will vary based on your degree program. You will have to complete the majority of those credits at UMPI. You will also have to complete UL credits outside of the major/minor. No need to worry though. UMPI offers every class you need to complete all of their degrees. 

You asked about accelerating. That's a thing at WGU not UMPI. Why? At UMPI you move at your own pace. You have 8 weeks to complete as many courses as you can or want. Each term is 8 weeks long. There are 2 terms in a semester. We have 3 semesters so 6 terms. 

I recommend you start on Sophia as soon as you can. Below are the courses I recommend you complete at Sophia. I do not recommend taking any English or public speaking courses on Sophia. They're far easier at UMPI. Much less writing and can be completed significantly faster at UMPI.

Accounting
Ancient Greek Philosophers
Approches to Studying Religions 
Communication at Work
Conflict Resolution
Environmental Science
Introduction to Psychology
Introduction to Sociology
Introduction to Statistics
US History 1 & 2
Visual Communications

That's it. Then apply. The application is free. You'll just need to pay for your transcripts. 

At UMPI you'll still need an 80 on your Final Assessment to pass the course. There are quizzes throughout our courses but they are not factored into our grade. You will only have one actual assignment and that's the Final Assessment which varies from a written 3 hour exam to a paper or project. Some papers are 3-5 pages and others are 15-20 pages. It depends on the course. Feel free to send me a pm with any questions you have about UMPI. 
Thanks for your advice, question why would I take some of the courses you mention if I believe some of

The name Social Environment doesn't tell me what type of class it is - social science, science, etc. Same for DEP2000. You don't have a history course listed in your courses. You'll need history classes to fulfill the GEC reqs. I have no way of knowing if the philosophy course you took is the same as the Sophia course. You also need 40 credits of gen eds and then general electives to fill out the degree at UMPI. Sophia courses are cheap easy ways to do this.

Yes, that makes sense, many of those courses transfer at UW as social science, natural sciences and gen Ed so I’m expecting to be the same. 

Just sent the transcript I will also check again with SNHU and WGU
