What do you guys think??? any suggestions???

It would be really cool to get my BS degree in less than a year and not have to pay a dime other than my entrance and graduation fees...

thanks in advance

Ops Mgmt = Colorado State University-Pueblo. No hoops and no proctored exams. Under $500, including book (used). I finished in under two months and I took several weeks off. I finished the last two of the four "exams" in one marathon 5 hr. session. I don't have my grade yet--but it could not have been easier to register for the class and take it. If you have a little Excel knowledge, you will do fine.

Managerial Accounting = Accounting II at a community college. For me it was $100 + book for an on-line/hybrid 5 unit course. It was tough but easily within budget. Even if you have to pay $60 per unit--you'll still be well within budget. I bet even Penn Foster has something for that.

If you haven't already, check out the threads for Operations Management at CSU-Pueblo and I believe there's a general Penn Foster thread or two out there as well.
