I'm looking to earn a bachelor's degree as quickly (and cheaply) as possible. I have an A.S. in Network Administration Programming. I'm looking at the UMPI YourPace BLS - Management, MIS or PMP. My Associates is from a regionally accredited school, so is it likely UMPI will accept all of the credits? Which degree is the easiest to complete (it doesn't have to be one of those 3, if another is faster).
Thanks!

I have plenty of experience with CLEP. I have noticed that their test content often changes, and does not agree with the practice questions in their own books. For instance, I spent a bunch of time practicing various types of math problems that were not on the math test at all.
I plan to take Micro and Macro Economics this summer. The latest books from CLEP show these tests as being pretty much 100% math problems. I am looking for anyone who has taken these tests recently who can confirm how much was math, and how much was concept knowledge.
Thanks very much.

Two degrees? |

Okay, I searched and didn't have luck finding an answer.
I'm finishing up my Bachelor of Arts in Accounting with minors in MIS and project management and will be done with all classes in August.
I went to add an extra class to keep me full time for my last term (using VR&E) and realized that with all of the classes i've completed (will graduate with over 150 credits because of credit requirement to test for CPA) that I will also have all classes required for the BBA - Project Management & Information systems program.
Is there a possibility that I can graduate with both of these degrees? or add Business Administration as another major on my accounting degree?

I recently learned that Pierpont Community & Technical College now accepts international students, although visa sponsorship is not available. As someone who has been residing in the United States for the past 10 years, I am keen to explore educational opportunities.
Here’s a bit about my background:
- I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from India.
- Over the years, I’ve accumulated approximately 90 ACE credits through various learning experiences.
Now, I have a few questions regarding the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) program at Pierpont:
- Eligibility Requirements:
- Could someone please clarify the eligibility criteria for the AAS program? Specifically, what are the prerequisites for admission?
- I understand that the AAS degree is available only to students who have not completed any prior college degree at the Associate level or higher. Is this correct?
- [size=undefined]Transfer Credits:[/size]
- I’m interested in transferring my prior coursework (BBA, MBA, and ACE credits) toward the AAS program. Are there any restrictions or guidelines for credit transfer?
- How can I ensure that my existing credits align with the AAS requirements?
- [size=undefined]Making Use of ACE Credits:[/size]
- I’d like to maximize the use of my ACE credits. Could someone provide guidance on how to do so effectively within the AAS program?
- [size=undefined]BS CIS Capstone:[/size]
- Currently, I’m just one course (the capstone) away from completing my BS in Computer Information Systems (CIS) from Thomas Edison State University (TESU). However, I’m hesitant to spend the additional $6,000 for that single course. Is there a way to leverage my existing credits or explore alternative options?

Hello,
I already have an associates degree in CS and have around 80 credits, and I am confused about which degree would be best and hackable?
I applied at UMPI, but confused about what major should I choose. I was unaware of BLS, so is it respected? if I go for a BLS, with Information System concentration, would it be a good choice?
