Please Help with a Degree Plan

[SRES]

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.

What degree do you want?

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.

Yep, I've looked into the forever GI Bill. Unfortunately it doesn't apply to me. 

If you think the BALS through TESU will be the fastest, then that's probably the route I'll take. I've submitted my transcripts to both TESU and Escelsior for review, but haven't heard back yet. Do you think I would be starting the BALS from scratch, or will some of my credits I listed possibly transfer? Thanks for the suggestion on Institutes Ethics course! Is there a list somewhere of what CLEPS, DSST, etc. would satisfy the degree requirements for the TESU BALS? Thank you!
