Need a Bach, to get into Masters Program

[cookderosa]

Brand new to the forums, but have been reading and learning a great deal from you very informative folks.

I'm needing to get a Bachelor's degree in order to get into an online Masters Program in Psychology, in order to add ABA therapy services for our practice.
There is no specific degree I need, just a Bachelor's to enter the program. Since the Masters is in Psych, it would be 
great to satisfy some of those requirements during my undergraduate process, but time to get into the program is a 
bit more important. We would like to add the service option within 3 years, give or take.

I'm hoping you seasoned degree pros can add some clarity for a solid starting point. 


So far, the following applies to me.

1) GED, with no college or other credits to transfer.
2) I'm 54 and currently own a therapy clinic with my wife for 10 years (she's the therapist, I manage it)
3) Prior for 25 years, I owned and operated a computer service company, but phased it out in 2015.
4) I currently have about 6 hours a day to study for "test out" courses.
5) My goal is about a year to get into the Masters program, if possible.
6) My strengths is in business and IT, but learning psych due to the therapy practice and personal interest.

Any program paths you can suggest that would best fit this goal set?

Note: I'm familiar with the big 3 from reading your posts, and cost really isn't as much an issue as time. Thomas Edison seems like a more clear option, but unclear as to the degree process.

Thanks in advance.

You should start with the end in mind. I'm unfamiliar with ABA Therapy, but if it is professionally regulated in your state, work backward from the license requirements. Once you can find out what (if any) requirements restrict your options for a master's degree, you can do your bachelor's. Yes- you can do a bachelor's in a year, no problem - yes liberal arts or psych, all fine. The problem is that you don't have enough information to be sure that the NEXT step will be seamless. If you are open to "any" grad school- that's awesome and makes things easy. If you're limited to a handful of specific school types that would have certain accreditation / clinical oversight / etc. then that is VERY worth knowing before day 1. No matter the rules, you can work within them.
