Hello! Just learned about the competency based degree earning opportunity. Wanted to learn the best way to get a degree fast for my situation. Since I have already a BA degree, my plan is to get masters right away if possible. To save costs, do I need to get required certs someplace else like coursera and then apply to finish fast and cheap?


PS: I work as a Solutions Architect at AWS

Thank you everyone for help!

Have you had your degree from South Korea evaluated already? I would start with that because an American university may not view it as a bachelor's degree.

If you have sufficient self-study and work experience, it's not impossible that you could get into a master's program with the degree, certs, etc... that you already have. Georgia Tech has online Comp Sci, CyberSec, and Analysis master's programs that don't have competitive admission. They are mainly concerned with whether you have the ability to graduate from the program.
