    Drew,
    FWIW, I completed Limestone College in 25 months, combination classroom and internet. It is an RA school, got me into a decent grad school, ( that says a lot) also you can start at anytime. The classes are on a six-eight week schedule, if you go strictly online you can complete in about the same time, maybe sooner...as long as you keep a 3.0 average you can hammer up to 50 credit hours a year.....if you dont mind eating and living Limestone College!
    Best,
    Gavin

    <<I have around 70 hours total in various subjects (mostly religious classes)>>

    Questions:

    1) What are you looking to major in? A religious field? If so there are many very inexpensive options.

    I am pretty open to options for accelerated programs right now. I would like to look at all my options and then weigh them out.

    I have random times of busyness and random times where I am slow. I would like a program where I could utilize the slow times and still progress slowly during the busy times.

    I do not have all of my Gen. Ed. requirements in yet (still lack a science, math and maybe a history) but otherwise i am open to just about anything.

    I am pretty open to learning a new skill as long as it is not too overwhelming. I know that there might be a point sometime in my ministry where I may have to be bivocational and if so, a new skill would be nice, but not necessary.


    I have looked at WGU. I like the self paced ideal. I am just trying to get a grasp of what other self paced or accelerated options are out there and what the price ranges are like.

    Thanks for your help,
    drew

    Moody Bible Institute (RA and NA)
    Self Paced
    With 70 transfer hours you're looking at about $7,000

    Briercrest Bible College (NA)
    Self Paced
    They offer a 100 hour BA
    With 70 transfer hours you are looking at $3000-$3500

    Trinity Bible College (RA candidate)
    Self Paced
    With 70 transfer hours you are looking at about $7,000, could be significantly less depending on your income. They also have a better selection of majors.

    Of course UNISA is always a very inexpensive option but it will take some time.

    I focused primarily on the Bible schools due to the number of religeon courses you have.

    While it has been mentioned hundreds of times the http://bain4weeks.com/ route is self paced, fast, and fairly low cost. with 70 credits you would need at most another 90 (assuming all can not be applied) maybe as few as 50. Which ould be done in 10 to 15 tests or less.

    I put in an inquiry to CTU and a boiler room in St. Louis called me day and night - somehow got my cell phone number as well.

    That is a major turn-off and ruled them out as a possibility for my Masters. What kind of reputation does CTU have anyway? Is it a real school or merely a suite in Colorado?

    I believe that all the University of London programs are "start any time" although they adhere to their own exam schedule.
