Overwhelmed with info but excited to start my BA- just a few questions

[dfrecore]

i appreciate your reply. I've seen you posting info all over this forum so I think I'll be working backwards and seeing what else you've answered that others have already asked. It seems like UMPI is the new favorite for certain degrees? I'll be looking into that as well. 

I signed up for Sophia last night and have knocked out two short courses so far, and I think for the next month I'll be knocking out the general requirements they offer. I have an American Govt clep exam scheduled for next week, and I WAS going to do college composition next, but it seems Excelsior doesnt accept it.

going off of this list, it seems maybe UMPI would be the best course of action? Assuming I continue this hybrid sophia/clep schedule I want.

I'd say the UMPI is the current favorite IF:

1. They have a degree that suits your needs.
2. You are comfortable with the "pay by the term" model that requires you to accelerate your studies to keep the cost down.

If either of those are not the case, then there are other choices.

Agreed - UMPI will be the cheapest if you can go fast.  If you're going to take longer than 3 terms, then EU will be the cheapest.

EU has very limited choices if you want to keep costs to a minimum - the BLS, the BSB, and the BPS/Management.  Anything else will require more courses from other places (sometime people come in with courses already completed from a college/university).

UMPI has a lot more options, including the BLS with 5 options for minors, the BABA with 5 options for concentrations, a BA in Acctg, and BA's in CJ, English/Professional Writing, Psych, and History/PoliSci.
