Are you really about to bust out an MS in a little over 6 months? Did you challenege any of the courses? Please give us the scoop. I will be graduating soon with a BS in Psych from Excelsior and I am intrigued about getting through an MS program like this as quick as possible.

Yes, at first I was estimating, or at least giving myself 18 months to complete the program but have obviously increased my pace considerably. It is important to distinguish a few things.
One, I work tirelessly on these courses, more than I should but I want to get it behind me.
Two, my minor was Psych so like you with a major in Psych you will be well versed in the topic.
Three, as a LEO for 26+ years now I am quite familiar with the many aspects of Psychology from street experience and readily able to apply my experiences into my course work, especially all of the writing assignments.
Hardwork, dedicated effort, and experience allowed me to blast through this program at warp speed. At present I now estimate that I shall be done around Memorial Day or so.
