I work in healthcare now, direct patient care, and its KILLING me. This is not something I want to do for 20 more years so I'm really just trying to get a degree quickly to give me better job opportunities to get out of healthcare within the next 2 years.
I think I need RA credits for UMPI, which I don't have. Also I think I have to take at least 10 classes with them and so many UL classes. Based on their requirements, it would probably be more money and stress to try to do the degree thru them. With Excelsior I can (hopefully) do everything elsewhere and only have to do their cornerstone, capstone, and info literacy class. That seems much less stressful to me. So I would rather do Excelsior.
You don't need RA credits for UMPI. Yes, you have to take at least 10 classes at UMPI, but most people complete them in 2 sessions which is $2800.
