I believe the Idaho Professional Development option mentioned by StonyBeach might be your fastest option.
Program is geared for teachers but there are enough generalist courses to suit your needs.
Courses are advertised as counting as graduate level classes on the transcript, but cannot be applied to a degree at Idaho State. They only cost 55 bucks per credit and ISU is regionally accredited.
They provide a free transcript at the end of each course.
This is an amazing deal for anyone but especially teachers.

Given your knowledge is superior to mine, do you reckon anyone could knock out any of these ISU courses classes and transfer them in as grad level electives to a place like TESU, UMPI, WGU et cetera ?
I know you preach those schools for accepting a lot of transfer credits, but would that rule hold for their graduate programs?

I think those ISU classes would be good for someone in an alternative teaching program. When I was in my program I needed a certain amount of credits to qualify for a specific subject to test and be able to teach. Interesting find.

Hmm, read this the previous time, reading it now... It's a Yes/No, if the receiving institution decides it's graduate level and worth semester credits, then yes. If they believe it's continuing education or professional development, these are non-credit, then no. The only way to actually find out is to have someone send in a transcript to the Big 3/CBE options we recommend.

Come to think of it, the Big 3/CBE options are just a few of the ones we recommend... Then there are the bigger for-profits, such as Capella, Strayer, UoPhoenix, Walden, etc that would be more willing to accept credits for transfer into their graduate programs. Having said that, I would do all the Big 3/CBE options we recommend first, or at least inquire about it by email. If none do, then the big for-profit ones.
