UMPI BLS degree planning advice
#1
Hello! I would apreciate any input on my degree planning. I am an absolute newbie here and to college hacking so please bear with me.

Your Location: Cailfornia, United States.
Your Age: 45
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelor (maybe BLS?)
Current Regional Accredited Credits: I have an associate degree on behavioral sciences (with 4 additional child development classes that won't transfer anywhere, apparently) From Pasadena City college in CA (ENG 1A, ENG 1B, POLSC 1, PSYCH 1, SOC 1, MUSC 21, MATH 3, ANTH 1, HIST 7A)
These are the equivalencies for transfer to UMPI: 
Subject - credits - grade
ENG 101 3 credits A
ENG 121 3 credits A
POS 101 3 credits B
PSY 100 3 credits B
SOC 100 3 credits A
ART 107 3 credits B
MAT 117 3 credits B
ANT 100 3 credits A
HTY 161 3 credits C

I also have the next that I'm not sure would transfer??

SPEECH 10 3 credits B
PSYCH 21 3 credits B
ITALN 1 5 credits B
GEOG 1 3 credits A
HED (health ed) 3 credits A
PEACT 39B 1 credit A 
CHDV 10  3 credits A
CHDV 15 3 credits B
CHDV 117 3 credits C
CHDV 120 3 credits A

From  CAL State LA (started courses for Legal interpretation and translation)
ML790A 5 credits A
ML 790B  5 credits B

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: none
Any certifications or military experience? no
Budget: The lower the better
Commitments: Stay at home mother of 2 school age children, and wife (husband works from home)
Dedicated time to study: Most weekday mornings and some evenings after kids in bed
Timeline: ASAP
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

I'm a married mother of 2 kids in school, live in CA. I am fluent in Spanish (born and raised in South America). I think UMPI could be a good fit for me time-wise and money-wise. I am not sure whether to pursue a BLS. I wanna have a degree to check the box but hopefully in the future achieve a masters and put it to work. 
I have a chance to work as a sub at my kids' school (temporarily), which requires a bachelor degree in any area. However, I do not desire to work as a teacher (I used to, in the past), therefore my dilemma on what kind of degree. I am pretty good at liberal arts and I used to love science subjects. However, I find it a bit harder to do math and such in english, but I am a fast learner.

I want to be able to transfer the maximum amount of credits permitted by UMPI (90 credits) through Sophia or CLEP, but I have no idea which classes are recommended in order to not exceed the max needed per group category. I looked at the UMPI General ED curriculum and I am not sure whether that appplies to YOUR PACE as well. 

Also, I am confused about the total amount of GE required. On effective written and oral communication the subcategories A and D for example, repeat  ENG 101. Can my ENG 101 apply to both A and D? or do I have to fulfill one of the ctaegories with another class such as ENG 100?
Thanks for any help !!!
