Fastest not cheapest way to a bachelors degree?
#2
madhornet Wrote:I just came across this site today and have been reading non stop. It is the answer i have been looking for. I am 48 years old and financially independent so cost isn't the issue. I have all the free time I need (4-5 hours a day) to get it done. I am needing the BA so that I can coach at a public school. I coach now at private schools because it is my passion but it would open up a whole new level of opportunity if I had a degree.

My question is what is the fastest and easiest way to get a degree using methods on this site? It looks to me like the Charter Oak Bus Administration may be it and I have extensive knowledge and experience in finance and economics from being a stock broker and long time business owner.

Are the tests done online or do you have to go somewhere to take them for the online classes?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Hello,

You first need to know how many credits you have and where these credits play in the degree.
Could you tell us or create a spreadsheet and enter in what you currently have, so we can critique what is required. If you are looking into COSC BSBA, you might be better off with a TESU BSBA due to the new changes that make it more desirable and easier, cheaper too...

The main thing right now is to get your general education, professional business requirements and free electives. The AOS or Area of Study concentration, is the main difference in each of these degrees.
For the most part, I would recommend ALEKS for Math, Straighterline and/or Saylor for general education.

If you are close to a CLEP or DSST Center, it maybe better to go for these exams instead. For me, I live an hour and a half away, so, that's my least desirable option. I rather take exams at home with an online proctor.

Thanks,
