    So I was looking to do a fast masters program, and this is what I was thinking. Take 15 Credits through VESi, recorded through Southern Utah University and then the remaining 18 credits at Excelsior for their Masters in Liberal Studies. Does that sound like a recipe for success?

    How do you define a "fast Master's"? what are you gonna learn? What will you use it for?


    more importantly: how do YOU define "success"?

    Success = Masters Degree from a RA . Now what do you guys think about my plan?

    What is "VESi"? I completed my MS-ITM from Touro in 15 months. If I was not working full time I may have been able to do it in just under 12 months.

    What time frame and subject are you looking to earn a masters in?

    The fastest I seen anyone completing a Masters (MBA) is 9 months and that is a real hectic full time schedule.

    I take it the point is that VESi courses are easier than normal university courses, but SUU will transcript them anyway? If so, then yeah, that sounds faster.

    I nearly forgot that the Swedish 60 ECTS Masters is normally 1 year at 100% tempo, you may want to consider.

    Steve,

    VESi courses are self paced online courses, most institutions give you 6 months or more to complete the class. My research shows that these courses can be used for CE credits, undergraduate, or graduate credit...depending on the university you take. I'm sort of looking for feedback from someone who has taken these courses.

    Here is the list of schools that take VESi Continuing Education for Teachers - Partner Universities - Virtual Education Software

    Sweden: The deadline non-eu students to study tuition free is August, 15th. Afterwards the "fun" is over ;)

    I got the last Masters before the fees started. I heard the fees are quite expensive.
