Can you point me in the right direction?

<grin> You have the energy, money, time to get the BAS or BLS in one session, plus you get to have a minor of your choice and do 3-4 classes that can go towards the MAOL if you ever wanted to.  So, this is my non-traditional and un-conventional approach, since you're in the US waiting for perm residence approval, you can take as many Sophia.org classes that can transfer into the UMPI BLS Political Science minor plus 3-4 classes towards MAOL.  This way, you'll be well versed in Poli Sci and have a few classes related to Organizational Leadership, but the main reason is to salvage the 61 credits, as the degree allows 60 electives!

Now, the reason I mentioned the BAS or BLS, is because you're already in the US, you have the energy, money, time to spend on getting credits towards 'something', and I always recommend a balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience.  Thus, my suggestion is to expand on that into Business, IT, PM, etc, by doing the cheapies/freebies on the WIKI for ACE credit (skip the ones that don't give credit like the EdX freebie professional certs).  You'll end up with some certs, experience to go along with the certs while you work towards the degree... You can get all of this for under your budget of $2K as well!  Ta-da! Voila!

Oh wow! A few days ago I thought I'd just never finish my undergrad, and felt bad for leaving my (free of cost, albeit disorganized) law university in Argentina... But my hope has been renewed! I was thinking of getting into IT as well, since it's so in demand in the workplace. What exactly is ACE credit, if you don't mind me asking? Why would you recommend it?

You have an associates, so a high school transcript should not be required. You can do Spanish on Sophia to fulfill the language requirement.

For English proficiency, from UMPI YourPace FAQs: https://www.umpi.edu/yourpace/faqs/

English proficiency test scores are waived only if at least one of the following is met:
Student has earned a grade of C- or higher in a college English Composition course at a regionally accredited U.S. institution, even if the student has not studied in the U.S. for two or more years. ACE credits will not be considered.

Oh, thank you so much! Yes, I do have two English composition courses from FSU. I've read in some other thread that UMPI asks for high school diplomas, so I just sent an e-mail asking for their enrollment requirements just to make sure.
