1) If I apply to UMPI in the meantime and get a course evaluation would I be able to do some independent credits somewhere cheap/fast when I see what’s missing and still add them into that program?

2) Which major should I be applying to for the PM&IS? I saw a degree plan for it but I don’t see it listed as an option in the YourPace application process?

3) I have added my AAS credits now that I have them. 

Y’all have been so helpful already, I appreciate it very much.

Is this degree to be used for employment purposes? If yes, you may want to rethink this plan because this degree is not an IT/CIS/CS degree in any way. It is a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a Concentration in Project Management and Management Information Systems. I have completed every course required for this degree and concentration and I can tell you that it will not prepare you for a job in IT or anything to do with cyber security. 

What do you want to be a professor in? Have you looked at professor positions? Have you read about how many colleges are closing and how many are in financial trouble? This may not be a viable opportunity in the future. I don't see anything in your posts about what type of job you want today. I see that you are a freelance writer and eventually want to be a professor. What about now? If you don't want to work in IT/CIS/CS, then why get a degree in it? If you want a career where you can use a history or English degree, why not go for that now? UMPI offers a degree in both.
