CS Bachelor International High School Graduate

[ASP_0705]

Your Location: India
Your Age: 19
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer Science, Information Technology, or any other related degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits: None
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None, but willing to take them if it brings down the time and cost.
Any certifications or military experience? No

Budget: The cheapest option is preferred.
Commitments: Minor family commitments, but I can dedicate the majority of my time to studying.
Dedicated time to study: I can study full-time. Even more, if it helps cut down some time.
Timeline: Finishing the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I've read some people finish online tech degrees in a year or so, but I don't want to set unrealistic expectations for myself.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Out of pocket.

I'm a high school graduate from India. I began looking into online CBE schools like UMass Global but read a lot of mixed reviews. I also read about Pierpont BOG AAS but don't know how it works or how I could fit it in. I plan to do a traditional, in-person Masters in the US after I finish my bachelor's online, so I want a degree from an accredited university. I'd be eternally grateful if someone helped me build a degree plan.

Hi there,

I'm really sorry to personally message you, but it seems I've made a mistake in the thread I posted on the Degree Planning forum. Everyone's getting replies except me. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the board, I got your private message, as per the 'addendum and template page', please be patient as I've missed many posts or threads before as we volunteer our time. To get you started, I would follow this thread and review what has been mentioned, you also want to review posts of mine, the WIKI, etc, for a degree or institution of choice to narrow down your selections.

Welcome to the board, I got your private message, as per the 'addendum and template page', please be patient as I've missed many posts or threads before as we volunteer our time.  To get you started, I would follow this thread and review what has been mentioned, you also want to review posts of mine, the WIKI, etc, for a degree or institution of choice to narrow down your selections.  Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...or-a-BS-CS

I have been following the thread you mentioned. I PMed VBStan4 and got to know that we have similar profiles. So whatever is suggested to him/her, I would follow the same. I apologize for PMing you .

Actually, there's really no reason to private message VBStan4, as they're just starting off as well... It's like a newbie who doesn't know much about degree hacking leading another newbie.  Having said that, what was suggested or is being suggested in the thread is exactly what you should follow.  Last but not least, you shouldn't worry about PMing me or not, senior members or moderators alike, we're here to help.  It's best to 'get a bit of info by researching' before asking, so you know what you need or want before hand.

Here's what it says in my updated bio, I finally updated it along with my signature after a couple of years!

I understand. Thank you so much for your assistance. I'll keep a close eye on VBStan4's thread now.
