*Ding Ding* You have a plan, get one thing done at a time by following through course by course. Have a spreadsheet created and link us to it...

Yes, do the Pierpont, it's just 1 ASU course for $25 and the rest are Sophia.org courses. I think the UMPI BLS MIS option would be better... you can ladder that up to the MAOL or WGU Masters after.
It'll look like this, Pierpont BOG AAS, UMPI BLS MIS, WGU Masters of your choice as long as you have the prerequisites completed.
I don't know which courses to do at UMPI. Does UMPI use something like Zybooks or Ucertify or Cert Master like WGU by any chance?
For WGU it's pretty clear what to take there according to these pages:

Edit: I just came across this: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UM...egree_Plan. For the classes to take at UMPI, like BUS 200: Intermediate Business Computing, BUS 345: Database Management Systems, BUS 440: Business Analytics, and UMPI UL Courses, can I learn the material from other websites easily to prepare for these classes, like maybe something like Coursera or something else? I like to learn material for classes where I have to read from easy sources before taking the classes. Is there group work in these classes? Are the quizzes, tests, or exams proctored, or do you have set limited time to do them or do you have as much time as you might want? Can I finish the classes as quickly as I want like at WGU or do I need to wait for the semester to end to do more classes? Thanks for guidance on this, I really appreciate it.
