If you've only got LL credit, I definitely wouldn't choose COSC. They'll want 30 UL credits and they're very picky about which credit providers you can use. A math degree at TESU could be a good option, but you'd still need 15 UL credits of math (all of yours would transfer in as LL) and that can be tricky: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan
Purdue Global is a good option if you just "want a degree", but the available concentrations might or might not work for you; I personally probably wouldn't do one without a concentration. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid347296 So, they probably wouldn't be a first choice for me, not with other options.
I agree with the suggestions to get a Pierpont degree if you don't already have an Associate: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC
For UMPI, if you have an AAS (from Pierpont or elsewhere), definitely go for the BAS instead of the BLS. Depending on how many credits you have and where they slot in, you might be able to get the MIS AND Project Management minors for approximately the same amount of work as just the one. UMPI requires that you take at least 30 credits, or 10 classes, with them (most students here are able to do this in 2 or 3 terms, sometimes 4).
Each of these minors is 6 classes, but both together are only 11 because BUS141 is required for both. If this sounds like a good plan for you, I would NOT take Project Management at Sophia.org because it actually makes the Project Management minor at UMPI more difficult. But definitely use Sophia.org to fill out any other GEC (gen ed) requirements that you might be missing. Use InstantCert for Spanish I.
The biggest drawback of UMPI to some students is that most classes are passed with a single project or paper. There are a few exams, but most classes do not have these. If you'd prefer exams to papers, UMPI might not be the right school for you.
