    I have 81 credits. I heard about Athabascau University has a 3 year bachelor's degree (90 credits). I was so excited until I read their program plan and learned that most of my credits won't be accepted because they are not 200 level and up.

    I was hoping to get some type of liberal arts or general studies degree. Most of the jobs that I am interested are requiring a bachelor's degree. I really do not want to start a new bachelor's program all over again. I've been hearing about CLEP exams but I will still need a college to accept my credits and issue me a degree. Oh and I am hoping it is reasonably affordable. And if they don't have a residency requirement (meaning I have to take classes at their school), that would be a plus!

    Is there a way around this? Here is my list of classes that I've passed (81 credits):

    AUT-181 02 Automotive Practicum I A

    Excelsior is probably the fastest

    Excelsior's BS in Liberal Studies is probably best, because you have so many occupational/technical credits. I think you pay the enrollment fee in installments.
