European wanting a regional accredited degree from US
#26
Lots of opinion here from non-Europeans,  If you have already submitted your current Swedish education for an evaluation. They will recommend a certain amount of credit for each course, presuming you chose the course by course evaluation. They will send you a report in the mail and it will detail all that.
Do you want to teach English in Sweden or outside the European union? Many overseas teaching positions only require an degree from an English speaking nation, If you want to get your U.S degree quickly and cheaply you'll need to add to the Swedish credits that you currently have on your evaluation, these will for the most part be topics not normally studied at a European University as requirements for your Swedish degree, subjects like history and social sciences, and basic math that you already took when you were in high school in Sweden so the coursework won't be too difficult. You will either need to take a certain amount of credits at the particular college to gain residency or pay a fee. Excelsior College is 12 credits for example the fee used to be around 1500  dollars but it could have increased since I applied.

If you only want to teach English in Korea or some place overseas, then I recommend getting a degree at one of the big three in the U.S at using the credits you've already got from Sweden plus the general education credits required for a U.S degree. In addition finish off your Swedish degree so you can use it across the EU within the framework http://www.nfq-qqi.com/qualifications-frameworks.html
My EU level 6 certificate transferred into Excelsior as 27 credits so you'll be much higher on the scale than I was.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum : InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing
