Basically the OP has about 20 or so courses left to complete, my suggestion for them is exactly the same to my previous post - delay enrollment, complete as many they can to transfer and complete as close to the minimum of 10 courses at UMPI. Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid370325
However, after your post and reviewing OP's details again, they may already have a Bachelors degree! If that is the case, my recommendation/suggestions will change... As I usually like to do, point people to the "New User - Degree Planning Advice Template" and/or the "Wiki" with the bulk of the info they need to start. This user hasn't completed the Degree Planning Template, thus we don't know too much about their scenario.
My recommendation now has changed, if the OP has a Bachelors already, get UMPI to acknowledge it and go for their MAOL instead of the BABA, as their Bachelors may be a redundant degree, unless it's in a completely different subject matter. I would still go for a Masters vs a second Bachelors at the end of the day, the Masters will look better and trump the Bachelors at practically anything that requires "management/leadership".
Moreover, if all users can please provide details as per the template and addendum, the details they provide us will really help themselves determine a better course of action. So for instance, UMPI BABA Management & Leadership is a great option, but if they already have a Bachelors in ABC and need something for Management or Leadership, they can go for the UMPI MA Organizational Leadership.
The courses OP has right now are roughly going to be 10 UMPI courses and 10 transfer in courses from alternative credit, if they go the UMPI MAOL, it's just 10 Graduate courses, the energy, money, time involved should technically be better ROI/Value. Last but not least, they can also see if the WGU MSML would be better, in fact, that's a better choice than UMPI MAOL as they are in the US.
And if the OP actually has 119 credits + 21 Sophia.org credits, if they have some Upper Level, she can decide if Excelsior would work by taking 7 credits there. It all depends if OP has met the requirements for everything else, 7 credits from Info Lit, Cornerstone, Capstone and that's it...plus roughly $4K in tuition/fees. That would be another option other than UMPI.
