    Glad to find this forum. İ really need some advices and hope you guys will help.
    Before proceed wanna give you some background information.

    I live in Turkey and ı was attended university in 1999 and left it 2001. Cause of drop i couldnt get any credit from that university. Started work and have 15 years work experience and 11 year manager experience.

    While i work i trained myself about businesses and psychology. Got some private lessons from psychologists and business experts since years. So wanna get business or psychology degree online. But the problems are:

    1: İ cant study in my own country cause they want me to come to school everyday for 4 year which ı cant.
    2: I decided to get online degree but most of colleges have too expensive credit cost and they says ı have to wait ( 4- 8 week ) for exam for pass the single course.

    i made some searches and contacted with excelsior but as ı mentıoned cause of expensive costs ı cant attend those colleges. Got information about clep,dantes etc exams. But per clep test cost 100 dolar for exam and 50 dolar for test center.

    Then ı tried credit base courses but they take 2 month for per course. minumum is 1 month.

    Shortly i am stuck. İ dont know what can ı do. i have nearly academic knowledge of both business and psychology but ı cant find a college or university which fits my current situation. I dont wanna pay thousands and wait years for get degree. And yes i checked DIY degree too but it always suggest credit by exam thing. İn my country only clep test center we have. So if anyone have suggestions about how i can complete this degree things in very short terms i will very grateful.

    Regards

    there is no proctoring. all the work consist of an online exam that's done in their web based system (nobody to see u etc etc. just click start and start doing and submit). Once you've pass their exam, you'll get a B grade. if you want to earn an A, there's extra projects for you to do for that module so you can earn another score to get an A. this competency based system is good for someone who has prior knowledge in mention field.

    thank you for your reply. lastly am i able to complete my degree in this 6 month period? any limit on exams or xourses or credit get? Btw it seems they have 3 degree. One is liberal arts ( which is weird cause when you get that degree you have no major ) and other is which is weirdly small business management. Dont understand why they named this degree like this. most of countries cant give accreditation this degree cause for example in my country there is no degree with this name. Business, management etc.. there are.
