I have done a lot of reading here and thought I would throw my specifics out there in case someone had some guidance. Sorry for the length, I wanted to give the most complete info.
I am, like most I have read, looking for the easiest fasted degree. I have an AAS (nursing) and a AS from a community college. I did nursing for years but recently got in to the clinical research field. Most jobs I would like to advance to require a degree. While some places do specify a science degree, some don't. Either way, I think my two associate degrees would appease an employer on that end if needed. I will add that I am not interested in the RN to BSN type programs. I am interested, once finished with a bachelors, in doing a clinical research certificate program. THose are plentiful but require a minimum of bachelors.
I had originally read all the posts, fbook pages, everything I could on WGU and then started hearing about the other schools to the point where I could use some help. I had this past month downloaded the guide for WGU healthcare administration management and have done five courses on Sophia (all the ones available aside from the gen ed stuff) and nearly done with my first class on Study.com with at least 3 weeks left on the billing cycles of both platforms.
My issue is that WGU wont evaluate until you enroll and once you enroll you cant transfer more in. I have heard of older (mine is from 226 and 2008) associate credits not transferring in and also, it would be nice to get more of the business classes out of the way before enrolling. I am looking at a 3/1 start regardless as I have made no contact with the school yet.
I am not set on the healthcare management route. I am not set on WGU. I was intrigued by their acceleration ability but does anyone have input otherwise? I had seen where TESU allowed all but the two final courses to transfer in but then also read they had changed that policy so I am confused there.
I am former military, but with basic credit as a medic that already is covered by my associate nursing degree so not much help. Also, I have exceeded the time in which to use my gi bill.

intermediate algebra
critical thinking
A and P 1

Elementary statistics
Music appreciation
