If you need a GPA and you want a business degree, UMPI may be just what you're looking for! It's competency-based, similar to WGU, but most UMPI classes are based on papers/projects and not exams. You would still want to take Biology 101L @ Study.com, Environmental Science or Chemistry I from Sophia, and Spanish I from Sophia. At the very least.
There are degree plans for UMPI here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:UMPI
Or, instead of Biology 101L + another Sophia science, you could do Chemistry 111L at Study.com. From what I've heard, the Chemistry 111L course is kind of dense and is significantly more challenging than the Biology 101L course. So, I wouldn't recommend that one. But UMPI requires a "natural" science and a biological science, one of which must have a lab. And you do not want to take UMPI's science course.
Since you need 60+ credits on a transcript, a faster way to do this might be to go for the FREE Pierpont degree along the way. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC Get the 1-credit ASU class for $25, that can be done in 1-2 days. That's enough to get the Pierpont degree. If you need more credits for a "proper" GPA, I would either do Pre-calculus (probably time-consuming) or SES-106. SES-106 might count as a lab science for UMPI. https://ea.asu.edu/courses/habitable-worlds-ses-106/ Both precalc and SES-106 have self-paced options. You might prefer one of the self-paced CIS courses, though.
