Help finding a school and degree plan

[bleedingpurple]

I agree with rachel. I have completed the BLS with MIS and PM Minors at UMPI. Neither minor prepares you at all for working in Comp Sci. Not even a little. If you already have the knowledge and are working in field, that's one thing. If it's a new field to you, it doesn't prepare you for it. You mention cloud. Have you worked on any AWS certifications? There are several certificates on Coursera that may benefit you as well.

I do have a little work experience, in IT and data analytics, both as old as my credits. I am currently not working and have been a stay at home mom for too many years.

I'm very good with Excel. I have spent most of this year taking Coursera courses, but did not know some had ACE credits. I've learned Python, machine learning basics, R, SQL and some others I can't immediately recall. I signed up for Coursera Plus, so I wanted to maximize my learning. I have not taken any AWS courses yet. I signed up for the free Microsoft Azure fundamentals, from Microsoft and it doesn't look difficult. They sent me a link with more exam prep and how to get a voucher for a free certificate. 

I have been wanting to take the cloud courses on Coursera, but then I decided to stop and concentrate on only credit worthy courses so I can transfer them to a degree. My time is running out! (So I can use the 0% CC)

Would the UMPI degree get me a job in a relevant field?
The jobs I've seen specify a STEM degree or specifically a CS degree, even if it's just an entry level help desk position.  Would that degree be considered a STEM degree?

I'm not against getting multiple degrees, especially if I have a good job to pay for them
