Have you looked at your SMART transcript? Depending on your rate/rank you could have a good number of ACE credits (like Sophia) there too.

How high of a degree do you need for your application? Bachelors? Or is an associates high enough?

Hello there. I do have my military transcript that I can submit. I need a Bachelors degree to be considered.

Then I would update your post. I would add the ACE credit recommendations from your military transcript, and I would move your Sophia classes under ACE credits. If you have any other ACE, RA (regionally accredited), or any other credits, I would add them. Depending on what credits they are it may help figure out the fastest/easiest route. For example, Thomas Edison and Excelsior have specific degrees designed for specific military rates. On the other hand, UMPI may be faster because of their class structure. Either way, unless you wanted a generic “fastest degree for someone who has zero credits” recommendations, the more info the better. There are people here who are a lot better at it than I am, and the more info given the more helpful they can be. For instance, my initial instinct is to recommend getting your English, and a couple of other classes out of the way, BUUUT I’m use to EU and TESU, and I see a lot of people recommending not doing English through Sophia if someone is going to UMPI. So, depending on what’s on those transcripts, it may help hone in on a school and degree. In the mean time, maybe look at the degrees available at Thomas Edison and Excelsior to see if there’s an obvious one that’s geared towards your rate? Being a navy Nuke, my BS in Nuclear Engineering Technology was pretty cut and dry. I just needed to figure out where/how I wanted to take care of my general ed courses. There may be an obvious one for you too.
