Hey All,
I'm a law enforcement officer and I need to earn my four year degree in order to be promoted to the next rank. I currently have an associates degree, but I have around 114 credits in total. These credits are a collection from several colleges, and the police academy (that I had placed on an excelsior transcript). I have applied to Thomas Edison, but I'm wondering if there are better options out there. Thomas Edison more or less told me that they will take all my credits if I pay for some kind of residency waiver. I'll be perfectly honest, I'm looking for the path of least resistance, I want a college that will give me a degree without having to write a bunch of papers, exams are fine but I'm in a supervisory position and I have two newborns at home, so I have little in the way of free time. Also I'm currently studying for my promotional exam which will probably be at the end of the year. I don't need my degree to take the exam, but I will need it to be promoted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
