The "cheap/easy/fast" ones are the VESI courses, but those are geared for Education.
There are no such type of credits, through the usual DavaréSaylor/ShmoopéStudy.com/Straighterline.
However, if you take your time, you may be able to find some Graduate Credit through ACE.

Example: ASIS International - Advanced Security Worldwide: https://www.asisonline.org/Pages/default.aspx
https://www.asisonline.org/Certification...grams.aspx

The CPP exam is recommended for a total of 18 semester hours in the graduate degree category: 3 semester hours in global security management; 3 in risk management; 3 in threat and risk management; 3 in security principles and security theory; 3 in information security and risk management; and 3 in organizational continuity.

EdX - I think this has graduate credits from time to time: https://www.edx.org/credit#edx-product-discovery-cards
Then there is this: https://www.ifebp.org/CEBSDesignation/ce...fault.aspx
A majority of theirs are upper level Bachelors, with some being UL BA or graduate credits.

The Institutes has some partners that you can Earn a Masters with: https://www.theinstitutes.org/students/ace.htm
After finishing some of their courses obviously. Some programs look interesting...

PADI courses, I think these are bachelors level only, forgot

Coopersmith/SecularCourses has 1 course in Foundations in Education that is a grad-level course.  3cr for $150.

And then the follow up: most graduate programs aren't easy to transfer into. Some refuse any transfer credit, and others are stingy with the number. Still, if you can find one that accepts transfer credit, it has to match your degree. It's a tough nut to crack. All the more reason to be as cheap as possible on your undergrad imo.

But, many here talk about cheap and or faster master's degrees - it's not impossible to find one in the $10,000 category or even in the 12 month category. If that happens, the issue of transfer credit may not be as big of a deal to you.

I agree with Jennifer. It's easier to find a decent-priced masters program than it is to find a program that will accept transfer credits AND that those transfer credits fit into your degree plan (and that the transfer credits are really cheap). If you want a masters in education, you're golden. But if you want just about anything else, I suggest that you look for a good masters program that you can afford instead, and not worry about transfer credits.

What programs do you suggest for a masters in education?

I looked into WGU for education. You could technically take all your education courses in one term and all your student teaching in the second. The price isn't bad. It just depends on if their specific education emphasis is what you want.

I wish there was test-out or Straighterline-like options for a MA Degree like there are for a BA, but like everyone is saying on here: there really isn't that much. If you just want a Master's for a Master's sake, the best option is Amberton University's Masters in Professional Development. Take 4 VESI courses for 12 cheap credits - transfer em to Amberton - take the rest of the 24 credits at Amberton - 10 week semesters and you can take 3 per semester - so you could potentially get it all done in 9 months and will cost less than $8,000. Classes aren't too difficult and the choices for classes are abundant so you can take classes that interest you.

Some colleges give graduate-level credit for the CISSP and PMP. Don't Statistics.com and Graduate School have some courses ACE-approved at the graduate level? I don't feel like checking. Most of the cheap, self-paced stuff will be in education from many different sources.

Do you know which 4 VESI courses will transfer to Amberton for the Professional Development Master's?
