But, if literally ANY degree will work for your needs, a UMPI Liberal Studies degree would be the absolute fastest and easiest. https://umpi.edu/yourpace I would possibly suggest a Management Information Systems minor for you. That would get you a degree super fast with a minor that could help you with future promotions.
I'm an alumni of UMPI's YourPace program. I completed my BLS in 3 terms. I would have been done in 2 terms, but I completed 3 minors instead of 1. I finished the MIS minor in 2 terms along with the remaining degree requirements. If you transfer in 90 credits which is the max you can transfer into a degree plan at UMPI, then you have 30 credits left which is 10 courses. Completing those 10 courses in 2 terms isn't bad at all especially since you already have IT experience. You will fly through the MIS courses.
Two terms is $2800 plus the cost of Sophia and InstantCert. And if you want to add in any classes from Study.com but you don't have to. My advice is to complete every course on Sophia.org except for English Composition 1 & 2 and the foundations courses. You'll take those 2 English courses at UMPI where they're much easier and faster. It's only 1 paper in each class versus 5 and 7. On InstantCert I recommend taking American Government and Spanish 1. You'll also need a lab science. UMPI does offer one but it's quite a bit of work. The recommendation is to take Biology101L Intro to Biology with Lab because it's easier and faster. Feel free to pm me with any questions you have about UMPI. They do accept international students so if you're not in the US no worries.
