How to proceed?

[Bearcat999]

@Bearcat999, Welcome to the board, you've done the template but missed the last post addendum!  I usually recommend more details which you've added at the bottom of your post, but doesn't really give us your budget, commitments, dedicated time to study, your study habits and so on.  Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

At the time being, you should continue with your Sophia.org to get up to the max of 90 or more credits for transfer into UMPI, those credits should also be able to transfer to Excelsior or TESU if you need, I suggest keeping your options open too, UMPI is a great choice, but something like Excelsior or TESU may be better if you want to maximize the transfer limit.

Last but not least, you may want to make sure to get a transcript of some sort if you have credits from the old school, or even bills/payments pending if any.  You want to 'clear' all the hurdles in case something comes up from the old school audit of transfer credits and transcripts in the National Student Clearing House when you apply to UMPI or elsewhere.

Thank you for your reply.  I apologize, I thought I had the correct template.  
My budget is pretty flexible.  I will be paying out of pocket, so I don't want to throw away money, but it's not my primary concern.  I figure anything that gets me out below $10k is a steal.  
Study habits are pretty good.  My kids are grown and my time obligations are few. Realistically I can 20-25 hours a week studying.  I am fairly disciplined with time management.  My primary concern is completing as quickly as possible.  

My current thinking is that I am moving through the Sophia courses fairly quickly and when I get to 80, consider applying at one of the schools.  Excelsior may be a good choice, but I haven't seen as many degree plans for them, so it's hard to know what to take.
