No credits, but lots of life experience

[Tedium]

1&1b) PLA or Work/Life experience is usually a pretty involved process, if the school takes it at all. You're looking at a 3-5 page detailed paper for EACH credit that you try to add. With a lot of the methods popular on this forum for getting credit, you're better off using a different method.

2) You can go the business route. They have BLS options available at UMPI. BALS (Liberal Studies at TESU). Since you mentioned it a lot, is Business Admin. where you want to start out?

3) Every school is going to have their own policies for what they require of students in order for them to earn second degrees. Example: I want to finish at COSC and then move on to TAMUC for the BAAS, like in my signature. If I do that, TAMUC requires I take the 30 applied major courses for the degree, plus a Texas Government class. That means I have to take 33 credits, or 11 classes, on top of my Bachelor's from COSC. The usual you will see is 30 NEW credits AFTER the first degree. So, if you have some credits lying around that you didn't use for the first degree, you usually can't use them again for situations like this. It is doable to get a second degree in a new major, though, so don't get hung up on what your first major is.

Take a look at the TESU and UMPI degrees on the wiki and see if something jives with you. Then we can help you get started from there.

Starting from zero, those are probably the two fastest. Just remember, you have a lot of ground to cover, and time is not your friend because schools love to change their requirements just as you're closing in on the finish line. My advice to you is pick a degree like Business Admin. and run like hell to get your gen. eds done at somewhere like Sophia. It's actually good timing, because they are about to have a yearly plan again. It probably won't take you a year, but it will be nice to have the extra cushion.

Also, I would highly recommend ONU for a lot of your gen ed stuff. It's more work than Sophia, but they are great people and it's only $150 per class, only pay at the end when you finish.
