Some more details:

Hello everyone! I'm Franco from Argentina. I've been working as a software developer for the past 3 years. I'm doing good and happy with my career change. Now that I'm comfortable with my position, I feel it's time to work on my degree, certs, etc. I prefer to study in American colleges since in my country all online paths are built in a traditional schema, and I don't want to spend 5 or 6 years making slow progress. I went to business school here and also a biological science drop-out so it won't be exactly a whole new world of knowledge.

I read a lot on this forum, and I think the cheapest and fastest way to fulfill my goal is to complete Pierpont BOG + UMPI degree plan.
 
I have no ACE or RA credits so I'll be starting from scratch. I'm not familiar with the schedules so I'm not sure if I should get all the ACE credits on Sophia plus the RA credit for both Pierpont and UMPI degrees or only get the necessary credits for the first one and work on the rest after applying for it. I don't know how much time it would take to get the credits, but I will dedicate around 30 hours per week. As I said earlier, I have a business background and I work full time as a software dev so at least half degree (or maybe whole Pierpont degree ?) should be done fast.
I also don't have much money for this endeavor, had to cover a lot of expenses in the last months and the currency change is a nightmare. When I enroll in UMPI, I mean to try to finish it in 1 session or 2 if for some reason I can't hold the pace.

Let me know what you guys think!  Smile
