2) Are you looking at cheap, easy, fast, or a combo of them all? Do you have a budget or tuition assistance?
3) Do you have any certifications? How long have you been working at your current position?
4) Do know another language? Depending on the language - CLEP or ACTFL for easy credits...
1) did 30 courses via Sophia in 2 months ,and the 2 math classes ( Algebra, Statistics) in 3 months
2) EASY ( money is not an issues)
3) no
4) English is my 3rd language ( Arabic, and an African language that is not useful at all)
IMO, if money is not an issue, I'd probably go with TESU; although any of the Big 3 or UMPI are just as good. TESU just requires the fewest UL credit, which generally are the courses that take the longest amount of time (they and COSC will also transfer in D grades).
If you post all of your Sophia credit, then I will run a couple of scenarios for you to determine which path is the shortest.
EDIT TO ADD: why would you throw away any previous credit you have?? There's no sense doing that, when you can use it.
I was worried about the the failed classes. I thought they might cancel out the passed one.

TESU is also my suggestion as you can "test out of Arabic and that African language" for your Upper Level Area of Study courses! That's up to 24 credits right there with two exams for under $250! Wow! <smacks self for not knowing Arabic or that African Language>.
For Arabic: https://www.actfl.org/center-assessment-...puter-opic
For African Language (if it's listed here): https://www.actfl.org/assessment-researc...erview-opi
I would get your "language" tests and the Pierpont BOG AAS at the same time, unless you want to skip the AAS, it won't matter really.
Wait, are those tests accredited? And accepted by TESU?
