cheap associates program options

[Charles Fout]

Good evening Im looking for some advice in regards to going to school while active duty, I have to enroll and obtain an associates degree in order to meet a requirement at my next command I was originally looking to use Sophia learning to satisfy my general education credits and use my 19 Ace credits from military service and graduate with a BOG associates degree from pierpont community college online. Unfortunately today I found out on October 4th 2024 pierpont will be requiring 12 credits to be completed with the school brining the cost way out of my budget ( I don't plan to use TA or my GI bill for this) do any of you know of any other colleges which allow us to transfer our military credits and take Sophia learning credits all while not breaking the bank?
