Budget: I’ve been with my employer for about 6 years .However I’m on a disability leave due to serious unexpected health issues. My budget is small right now but I will spend every dime I can to pay for my school expenses with UMPI. I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: My children and earning my degree . After going through such a hard time in life right now, I am absolutely motivated to earn my degree. I would love to at least have my Bachelors before going back to work so that I can get a better paying position and have an actual career.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the day, night, and weekends.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I don’t think I have anything to use right now. I am going to check with financial aid just to be sure. To my knowledge I am all out of financial aid. I plan on paying out of pocket.
I am looking for a degree in management, business, or project management . The fastest, easiest, cheapest, way possible . I don’t think I can go wrong with a management or project management degree. My employer is constantly hiring in different departments for management positions as well as project managers. I work for a very large hospital/medical center. I wasn’t sure if the BABA- Project Management Degree was difficult& lengthy in comparison to the Liberal studies management degree. Also, project management would be a new skill for me to learn. I started the Coursera project management course and I am really enjoying it so far. I am ready to grow professionally and earn more money while having a great career. My future goal is to earn my Masters at UMPI as well.
Thank you so much for all of your helpful information

Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works | The reason I am asking is because I'm curious if you have fully maxed out the financial aid. With more details, such as your commitments, we'll know how to further provide advice or assistance to see how to get to your goal better, cheaper, easier, faster.
Also, are you working f/t or p/t, are you looking to stay or move into another field? Since you're in a medical center, it may be more beneficial to have a BOG AAS emphasis in Biology or Health related. Your UMPI BLS is going to be in "business" already, so there will be redundancy there if you go for a BOG Business, and because you just need to take the Biology with Lab at Study.com and also the Sophia.org Biology course to finish off the requirements.
Last but not least, I suggest you do the UMPI BLS Management minor first, and because you need more UL requirements, you can add the Education Minor afterwards. You should review the WIKI template for both Education and Management minors. You should apply to UMPI when you're done with your Sophia.org and Study.com courses.
Invest in a second monitor for multi-tasking purposes if you haven't already, work on Sophia.org/Study.com courses to get to the 90 credits for transfer. By using your courses/credits, you can create a plan with the template and use the WIKI for referencing those updates. You're pretty close to that 90 credit threshold, I would just apply and complete any missing credits before you officially enroll.
Here's the thread with the triple minor spreadsheet, you should create one for yourself : https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid365771
