Budget: I know UMPI, WGU, or TESU will be most likely less than Liberty, so I’m not too concerned about budget. The most important thing for me is finishing as quickly as I can.
Commitments: Fiancé and traveling monthly to take care of my mom. I’m currently in a full-time accounting internship that ends in April. There’s a chance that the internship will be extended to December, but it would be part-time after April. If the internship ends in April, then I would be doing school full-time and not working.
Dedicated time to study: I estimate 35+ hours a week if I’m not working and 20 hours a week if I am working. Several weekly doctor’s appointments, monthly travels, and my own medical issues limit the time I have to study.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. My goal is to be finished by June 2025 at the latest.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No

 
I’ve been doing hours of research on the forum and on the websites for several colleges. I think I’ve narrowed it down to either UMPI or TESU (I’m considering WGU, but it’s my last option as GPA is important to me), but I am open to whatever college would enable me to finish the fastest with the most transfer credits accepted. I would prefer competency-based education, but I would rather take tests than write long papers. I don’t mind writing essays, but really don’t do well with 5+ page papers (which is my biggest reservation about UMPI). The weekly deadlines at Liberty are very challenging and stressful with doctor’s appointments and traveling, and it would be nice to have more flexibility than strict weekly deadlines. I’m open to doing ACE credits at Sophia/SDC etc. It would be nice to find a program that allows for a month-long break between sessions, as I’m getting married and moving before June 2025, and I will definitely need a month off for that. Also, I'm not planning to go for my CPA, so I'm ok if the degree program is not CPA prep.
 
I’ve tried looking at different websites to see how my Liberty credits would transfer, but I end up just getting lost or confused, and I’m really not sure which college would be best for me. Also, I'm not sure if I need to submit my Sophia transcript when I do apply somewhere, or if my Liberty transcript is enough since it has the Sophia credits accepted on it. Thank you SO much for your help and recommendations!
