I have a few problems I need to work through.  I like a structured environment which is why I decided to go with school.  I know there are many free options and resources on internet but I prefer the structure so that's the compromise I have to accept.
Just wanted to see if there were any cheap options for CS programs.  My initial search landed with these:

• FIU - B.A. Art Online
  
• OSU - Postbacc Online
  
• Weber State - AAS CS Online
  
• Colorado State University Online CS
  
• Dakota State University BSCS Online
  
• Century College
  
• Oakton College

In this facility, inmates can choose to participate in a program where each day of active engagement reduces their sentence by two days. The approach, similar to boot camps or police training, emphasizes nearly full-time work or study to build discipline and work ethic.

This innovative model appears to benefit both inmates and society.

Hey degree hackers!

Going through UMPI's Transfer Equivalencies database today, I came across 
this course: Just wondering if where this OOSL credit comes from, since I've never heard of it before. 
OOSL 0060
Introduction to Philosophy
GLO245:LO2A,B,LO4C,LO5D

Thank you! 

Keep plugging away!

Due to life and work commitments, I couldn't earn a bachelor's degree or even complete my undergraduate Accounting Diploma (an Associate degree in the US) 10 years or so ago.

I have since been working in IT, with the last year being a Cyber/InfoSec Analyst.

I'm interested in getting a post-secondary education now and was wondering what the quickest degree can be obtained online.

I came across some graduate programs (certificates or even Master's) that may accept a combination of work and school for admission (no degree). Still, given my educational history, I'm not sure if that would be the right move.

I appreciate your responses.

I am writing on behalf of my teen. I have used this site with great success and I return to glean info from the hive mind! I wish they could do UMPI since that's what I did but they are too young.
I have checked out the following:  Capella, PUG, SNHU

Your Location: Florida, USA
Your Age: 17
What kind of degree do you want?: Associate’s or Bachelor’s
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 1 from ASU UL (was trying for Pierpont BOG AAS but they did not do anything timely so here we are)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 45 ACE credits from Sophia
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: Open
Commitments: None
Dedicated time to study: Unlimited
Timeline: As fast as possible
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: NA, have FL Prepaid but will save that for further education most likely

Looking for the quickest, prefer CBE based on writing and presentations rather than proctored exams if at all possible. Very open to choice of school, honestly looking for the absolute quickest way to level up.  

Thanks in advance and I am sure I am forgetting something!

I officially finished my BABA PM/IS at the end of January/beginning of February, but for some wild reason, I did go through with the psychology minor—which almost has given me a permanent eye twitch. If you’re in the psych or master’s program, you probably know exactly which instructor I’m talking about! ?Jokes aside, this program has been incredibly challenging, but it has also strengthened my analytical and speaking skills—honestly, even more than the speech therapy I’ve had to do post-craniotomy.
Is anyone planning to attend the in-person graduation, or does that feel a little too contrived? I’m debating it. I’m probably old enough to be most of my classmates’ teen mom, but after delaying my education due to medical circumstances, walking at graduation would feel like a meaningful bucket list moment. If anyone is attending the in person graduation, it’d be awesome to connect and do a DF/Reddit-YourPace mini event, since we’ve all supported each other throughout our journeys! 
Did anyone else get the itch to keep going and pursue the masters too? Or any program in general if not UMPI? If you did, did it prove beneficial for you? 
Anyways, thank you to all of you who provided helpful feedback, suggestions and support months ago at the beginning of my journey. Also, congrats to everyone finishing this year & if you’re reading this and contemplating on UMPI - you should definitely pursue it!

Does anyone know what Sophia's Workplace Writing II (ENG1020 - 2021) transfer in to TESU as?
Has anyone had luck transferring this class in as ENC1020 at  TESU?

I've been going through posts for awhile now on here and Reddit, so I've been calculating how I can afford BA Graphic Design and Media Art at SNHU as an international student learning online and paying out-of-pocket and it seems like I might have calculated incorrectly.

I've read how many have transferred credits as much as 90 from Sophia, Straighterline and Study etc. 
I had planned to do the same. I was so focused on GeneralEd and the 42 credits that I need and the 30 electives, that I did not notice the 36 credits for the major and 12 credits for a concentration. 
Only one major is available on Sophia. 

The total that I'll end up having to spend at SNHU now comes up to about $15K. It seems like the max I could get from credit transfer would be 75 since I would need to complete the major and the concentration. I thought it was possible to only have to spend 30 credits at SNHU but 45 credits is really costly.

There is no other way around this I suppose, is there?

Hello, 

  I have been reading the forum for years and hoping to finalize my degree but have not been able to for various reasons. I originally began college at a nice private school that is well known in the Northeast. I withdrew and moved back with my family. I attended local community college and received various credits. 

Soooo now here we are today and education online is so much better than the early 2000's. 
I have about 67 college credits and was also thinking of completing some Sophia courses and CLEP exams. The major I am interested in is Psychology or Criminal Justice- quickest. Once I have a degree I can qualify for a raise.

I have my eye on 2 choices:

  William Woods University- $170 per credit thanks to my union. They accept a max of 70 community college credits and 90 from 4 year/testing/alternative.  I will be able to utilize Sophia credits to fill in what I am missing. I anticipate I could finish the 11 classes (33 credits) I think I will need in 2 semesters for a cost of ~$5,600.

  Boston College- Woods College has an affordable (for private school) option that can be completed online. They don't accept Sophia courses but based on what I have already completed in college, a preliminary evaluation showed I would received enough credits for the maximum transfer. I would have to complete 60 more. The courses are 4 credits each- so 15 classes. They also have a cap on classes. You can only complete 3 per semester/4 per summer so it will also take longer- 4 semesters for a cost of ~$40,000 or $30,000 if I receive a scholarship.

Being that it would essentially be the same degree, just one with prestige and one regular, which would you choose? I also work for public service so I could make use of the PSFL for the larger tuition amount. 

I am not sure which one to go with. I would love to be an alumni and carry Boston College but would it be worth the extra time and money?

Please help!!
