UMPI BAS or PUG BSPr or other way to doctoral degree

[mdn]

Hi,

Your Location: Finland
Your Age: 40+
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor or Master - Doctoral (nothing yet).
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 1 (ASU) - should be availble in a week.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:

Sophia Credits: 60
Briefly enough for Pierpont BOG AAS. Without touchstones.
Additionally to 60 - Foundations of English Composition, 2

In plans (for PUG):
English Composition I
Public Speaking

Other credits - Finnish University: 49 ECTS
IT/Programming - 28 ECTS
Mathematics - 20 ECTS

Any certifications or military experience?
CISSP, CCSP, (CISSP-)ISSAP.

Budget: Cheap and fast. By current estimation - 3k-4k per year should be more less ok.
Commitments: I work more less full-time (briefly Software Engineer). Family, kids.
Dedicated time to study: On average 20 hours per week. About 2 months per year - much more.
Timeline: ...
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No.

I went to college at 3rd country for 5 years and got my diploma long time ago, but recently I has figured out that it will be almost impossible to validate it (due to multiple reasons).
I also have no High School Diploma as seems I left it in that University. It should be possible to restore it but it will take really a lot of time.

Briefly I need some diploma which should be ok for different immigration purposes for different countries, like for example UAE. So at least Bachelor.

Later, as a long term plane, already just for me (as I always wanted to be like my parents) - it would be nice to get a doctoral degree.

What I have considered (mostly due to this forum):

1. Pierpont BOG AAS
   As it will be some basic degree - it would be nice to get it, I plan to finish my application as soon as my 1 ASU credit will be ready for transfer.
   I am not sure, do I need AoE or not.

2. Finland, Metropolia "Degree Programme of Information Technology, online studies 180 ECTS" + next Bachelor
   I can do it fast enough, but I think the real Bachelor degree will take an additional year, and at the best case it will be 2025/26 year.

3. ENEB, MBA & Master
   I am enrolled as it was quite cheap, but I am not sure how such Master will work for me. But briefly I plan to have those Masters in 2025.

4. UMPI BAS
   I am not sure. If I will get BOG AAS at September 2024 at latest. General Education Curriculum Requirements - by this forum I can fulfill them by Sophia.

5. PUG BSPr (Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies)
   By my certificates - I already have 73 credits, + Sophia's credits - it should be fine. As I understand, "Foundations of English Composition" should be enough to confirm English Proficiency.

   I think BSPr is better than BAS, but I am not sure.

But what's next, what might be my other options? Might be I have to do something totally different, please advice.

Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Thank you.
