Advice for IT path

About writing papers, I can definitely write them and I do enjoy it, but I have to have a good understanding of the subject before I can do it. I assume that I have 2 choices, either I write a paper and I get graded on that, or I take an online exam and I get graded on that. If that is the case, I would prefer papers.

Yes, some classes can be a mix, but schools tend to lean heavily toward one or the other. UMPI tends to have papers (one per class). Purdue Global has PAPERS (multiple papers per class).

What about admissions? Right now I'm looking at either Purdue or UMPI, Purdue seems to be a Sophia partner but I don't see the same thing with UMPI. Will these universities admit me if I just take the required general education courses with Sophia and nothing else? UMPI states this on their website:  "Provide high school transcript, high school equivalency test (HiSet), or GED". Are the Sophia courses enough?

ss20ts has already pm'd you with admissions information for UMPI, but Sophia courses are generally enough. You would also need a foreign language. Unfortunately, Danish is not a language you can get credit with at https://www.languagetesting.com/certific...nformation You can take a Danish oral exam (conversation in Danish), but you wouldn't get any credit for it. How is your German? Swedish? Swedish only has an oral exam, German has exams in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Reading and listening are the cheapest exams, oral & writing cost more.

You would also need a lab science, which you can take through Study.com. You could do either Biology 101L or Chemistry 111L.
