For people who don't want to go thru all of the hoops (FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY)
#1
https://flexible.falmouth.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate

They are a UK university and offer accelerated bachelors programs that can be finished in two years without any credit transferring and other hoops.

As for the price, a Business & Marketing BSc degree for example costs 13k US dollars.

Not the fastest or the most affordable option but if you want a relatively normal university experience, it might be for you. But if you think you could go the unconventional route of taking exams and study.com courses, that would be the better option.

Perhaps some credits could be transferred to finish the degree in one year, but I didn't research that.

Realized this would probably fit better on the 'General "Big 3", B&M colleges, and other colleges' board. Moderators, if this is the case leave me a comment and I will delete from this board.

Pretty sure that even UMPI could be done faster and cheaper without transfers. But that's not an option for younger students.

$13k for a degree is kind of expensive for here.

I don't think it'd be a "normal" university experience, either. Accelerated Bachelor's degrees aren't normal, by definition.

DegreeForum emphasizes transfer-friendly schools because they reduce hoops, overall. They accept credit that can be more self-paced, assessed more directly (e.g., as little as one test or deliverable per course rather than sometimes multiple deliverables every week for a semester), already earned in an earlier attempt, and/or more affordable than credit completed more "traditionally" at the school itself.

Not a bad school to have in our stable. The pricing is a bit steep, but they have undergrad programs we don't often find like Interior Design and Illustration.

You're basically looking at #1 vs #2, US schools vs UK schools, and it really depends on what subject matter you're interested in... davewill has a point, this institution may suit those who are looking for different degree options that can't be had cheap, easy, fast or in a subject matter that's not really available elsewhere...
