Nearly done with AS. What next?

[forkintheroad]

Keep in mind that UMPI does not take NA credits (Ashworth and UoPeople), so you may be short many credits for the UMPI degree. However, most/all of those could likely be made up using Sophia.  I would probably recommend that you stick with Excelsior. Definitely EU over Ashworth; at least with Excelsior you will end up with a RA degree (that could matter if you decide to go forward with master degree at some point).  If you share all you have already for courses/credits I'm sure someone here can help you plan out the rest to complete your bachelor (BLS) at EU (see post - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid335173)

Thanks. I need to talk to my counselor and get an exact account of what those 88 transfer credits they would count are. I will admit: I appear to have made a dreadful error. I thought, since Excelsior had some sort of partnership with Study.com that those credits taken with them would not count as part of the 90 transferred credits. I have no interest in paying Excelsior tuition for the remaining full 32 or even 30 credit hours if I could find another possibility elsewhere.

Don't worry yet about what EU will equate them to - post what you have from their original sources as showing in the thread I shared earlier, there are people here that know how EU would count them. Also, there is no reason you would have to complete more than the required EU courses (7 credits I believe) - There are so many low cost options for credits. Here is that thread post link again - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid335173

Thanks very much.

In addition I will list those credits that previously could not be counted, as they were considered excess credit, not applicable or duplicates (I should state the Northeast State credits date back to the early 90's, they're older then a lot of people on the forum, probably:

ASHWORTH COLLEGE :

MS OFFICE APPLICATIONS II
LOCAL AREA NETWORKS
COMPUTER SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT
COMPUTER PROGRAMMING I

UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE :

This is what I have finished at Excelsior U so far:

EXCELSIOR UNDERGRADUATE COURSES
INL*102 INFORMATION LITERACY
IND*101 CORNERSTONE A: FOUNDATIONS
IND*203 INTRODUCTION TO PROFESSIONAL ETHICS 

and I will complete IND*298 in two weeks.

In addition to that I have various tech certs from Microsoft, Oracle, COMPTIA, AWS. As I am not really trying to pursue an comp sci degree they will probably not come into play.
