Please Help with a Degree Plan
#8
Just a heads up, we now have a "forever GI bill" so I would look into the details of that to see if it applies to you. Then maybe you don't have to rush through a degree.

I would suggest starting off looking at WGU, they will give you credit for your AAS, and all your Gen Eds will be waived - 1/4 to 1/3 of your degree will be completed (depending on which one you choose).  They do a block transfer in general.

Then look at the Big 3 and see which degrees you're interested in at each school.

Then report back and let us know.

Thanks for the advice on WGU! Just to clarify, are you saying that if I transferred all of my credits to WGU, then transfer my WGU credits to one of the big 3, I would have 1/4-1/3 of my degree complete? I was hoping my credits would put me at least halfway to a bachelor's, but maybe that's not realistic. The degree type or where it's from doesn't matter to me as long as the institution is regionally accredited. I'm just looking for the fastest route possible so that I have time to use my GI bill for an MBA before it expires.

Btw, that's not how it works. There would be no point in transferring to WGU then big 3.
