Wow!
Thanks for all the positive posts!!
No, I'm not married to that degree or that college. I still prioritize the fastest / cheapest route to a Bachelors. But, I've been pretty vocal about the worthlessness of CJ degrees, and I feel it to be hypocritical to wind up with one. Also, administering police and security *sounds* like what I want to be marketable in. I realize it isn't on the face of the degree, but it will be in the resume.
I understand excelsior is off the big three list now. Is there a way to get an 'independent study' (is that the right term) degree that will put me in the ballpark of a public safety administration degree at either of those two places?
I am very sad to learn that my math credits may be worthless. I'm struggling with classes as is, in topics I know. I am exceptionally math adverse. I cannot imagine how bad taking college algebra, even through aleks will be.
Thanks for the roadmap suggestions, too! I'll have to go research uexcel some. I don't remember much about them from previous inquiries.
Happy Independence Day!
