Hello everyone, I found this awesome site about 2 months ago and have been taking in as much advice as I can. It seems I need a bit more help. I went to school briefly about 12 years ago but life came knocking as I had to leave. I’ve worked in in the finance industry for the past 15 years and I have had a heck of a career without a degree, but recently my dream job came knocking and they need a degree. I was initially thinking about the finance program at WGU then I thought about the BS/MS IT program at WGU and now I am thinking about UMPI BABA. I applied at WGU and sent them my transcript and they accepted the courses listed below under Transfer from university I attended years ago. I’ve provided as much info as I can below. Any next steps would be greatly appreciated.
Budget: My max budget is about 8k. I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: I currently work full time but I am dedicating as much as possible to school. Each weekend and nights have been dedicated to school. Kids go to sleep around 9 and I spend about 3 hours on school. I start work at around 6 am and I am done by 3P and I spend another 2 hours on school until kids are back home.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish within the next 6 to 8 months MAX.
Your Location: Maine
Your Age: 30's
What kind of degree do you want? Looking to get a degree in business or IT
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
