Need a plan to get an Associates fast and cheap

Per the WGU page that I (incorrectly) linked before, Intro to Medical Coding can be satisfied by:

One course, equivalent to 3 units, in medical coding. Covering inpatient and outpatient, taken in the last 5 years or one of the following Certifications: AHIMA, CCS AHIMA RHIT, AAPC CPC, AAPC COC, or AAPC CIC.

Classification Systems is similar:

A second, sequential coding/classification course, equivalent to 4 units, taken in the last 5 years or one of the following Certifications: AHIMA, CCS AHIMA RHIT, AAPC CPC, AAPC COC, or AAPC CIC.

(WGU recently-ish changed their Partner section and it's a bit of a nightmare to navigate/link now.)

So you should have a further 7 CUs covered there. So, between that, Sophia, and the Pierpont BOG AAS, you ought to have almost half the degree done soon!

For the Information Systems Area of Emphasis, sign up for TADA immediately (enrollment ends Oct. 1st) and complete the Google IT Support Professional certificate. https://theamericandreamacademy.org/#getstarted That'll get you the 15 credits you need for the AoE and, hopefully, satisfy the WGU requirements as well.
