I have about 90 credits acquired from various universities. Moving frequently resulted in me losing in-state status and I just want to hammer out my degree at this point. I do not care what field the degree is in, nor does my employer. What is the best option for me? Money is no object, and speed is the aim. Also, if any insight can be provided about time of completion, it would be most appreciated as that will weigh heavily on my decision.
I don't think anything outside of the Big 3 will be a faster path Excelsior College, Bachelor of Science, Liberal Arts. Depending upon how your 90 existing credits fit into the degree (The BSLA degree is one of the most flexible) you can probably just take a dozen or so exams and be done. Take a look at page 24 of this pdf: https://my.excelsior.edu/documents/78666/102207/Liberal_Arts_Catalog.pdf/b559591a-1fde-4135-a958-e29c855b7826 I'm not personally familiar with the General Studies type programs available at COSC & TESU. Anyone?
The obvious question to me is, what subjects are the 90 credits? Were they part of a never completed degree program, or just a hodgepodge of classes taken over the years because they looked interesting?
This is increasingly becoming the case from what I'm seeing. I'm particularly surprised to be seeing this in fields where normally one would expect the degree to be specific to that field.
This is often the case when you're already working for someone. However, when you look at what has been happening over the past few decades, employers have gotten more specific in their requirements.
