Need Bachelors in 6 Months...Options?

[Nodaclu]

This is a totally doable plan!

The easiest and fastest (and probably cheapest) will be the TESU BSBA in HR or General Management, mostly because you can test out of the Capstone (vs. having to take a 3-month Capstone through any other degree plan there). The main issue is going to be the Cornerstone, which will become a requirement at TESU starting on May 25, and I'm guessing you're going to have to take it. But don't panic, just know that going in, and get ready to sign up and take it first thing before you do anything else. I'm not sure how they're going to structure it, but I'm hoping it's not a 3-month course, but instead self-study or some shorter timeframe since it's only a 1cr course.

I can help you come up with a plan, as I am getting that degree myself, and I love degree planning (boy do I wish that was a job that paid well!). Post all of your previous courses taken by school (makes a difference if it's a CC or 4-yr college), number of credits you received, and also any grades less than a C (even a C- matters, since some courses will not transfer in with a C- or lower).

Also, would you rather test (CLEP/DSST/UExcel) or take courses (Straighterline, Sophia, Penn Foster)? This will make a difference.

Here's a link to some of the options, although you will start to get very specific requirements that won't be able to be taken everywhere. Post #3: http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ree-2.html

Holy cow! That's pretty much *exactly* what I've been looking for. Thank you so much!! :hurray:

I appreciate the heads up on the Cornerstone. Looks like I need to get the ball rolling *fast* if I want to do this. I'd be thrilled to have some help coming up with a plan, as that is definitely a weak spot of mine.

One thing I just thought of...since I have to take the Cornerstone, which means taking a class in residence, would that make me eligible for Financial Aid? I don't need much, and I can probably come up with what I'll need via other methods if necessary. Just curious about that one...

As soon as I get home, I'll post up my transcripts (ugh...the Fall 88 / Spring 89 ones are really embarrassing...18 year old kid whose parents essentially forced him to go to college when he really needed a year off, and the results show it. I have a Blutarsky GPA for the Fall 88 semester - 0.0)

Thankfully, I pulled my head out of my nether-regions after that, but it was an ugly start that in many ways, prevented me from finishing a degree when I was much younger.
