Interesting turn of events, more credits for a slight win! Ya, that's great! Depending on how much you make yearly - You might want to apply for financial aid, if you get the most out of Pell Grant, take 16-18 credits at the college/university of your choice. I am vouching for the Big 3, so you can transfer in the bulk of your credits as they only require 6 credits for COSC/TESU or 7 for Excelsior - 113/114 can be transferred in!
Having said that, competency based degree programs may be cheaper/easier/faster "IF" you have the energy/time to complete the courses "AND" know the subject material really well, otherwise, it will drag on and you pay for each session/term you're enrolled in. If you are starting off with just 20-25 RA credits, you can transfer in 90 alternative credits from multiple ACE sources - UMPI is one of them that recently allowed this, previously, it was set to 30 alternative credits.
Pick a Big 3 or CBE program and school, it won't really matter if you don't know which one yet, apply to them all for the ones with the FREE applications, you just pay for transcripts. Find the one with the most transfer of your credits and path with least resistance to finish (TESU is my choice and there are many reasons over CBE/COSC/Excelsior). You need to get all your gen ed/free electives anyways, get them through Sophia.org, for UL do Study.com.
