Exploring post-BA options

[jb111]

1) Are your kids self-sufficient? Can your college kids get started with CLEPS/MS and other cheap alternative credit?  
Tried with my book smart kid for 2 years - did not work out.  She just started university (matriculated) so no CLEPs allowed.  On the bright side, she got a lot of aid.  My son who graduates next year on the other hand...
2) I don't have reimbursement either, so I would start with the IT certs and go with WGU Masters programs
I applied since it's free at the moment.  Here is the criteria I will have met by April 1: Option 2: Possess any bachelor's degree from a regionally or nationally accredited university AND hold a CISSP, CCIE, CCNP, CCNA, CCNA Security, CEH, CHFI, GIAC 2700 or GCWN certification that is valid and earned within the last five years.  I't's not listed but I'll ask if Commonwealth of Virginia employees get a discount.
3) A similar competency program to WGU would be Brandman University's MAOL (Organizational Leadership)
Looks pricey.  I was only an E-4 in the military.  Liberty is pretty good but I think Amberton would be a little cheaper. 
4) If you're not in the USA, then an NA degree is fine, if you're in the US, then I highly recommend RA degrees
I'm open to NA if the name is reasonable.

With that budget, probably save toward a competency program like NAU's MCIT, if you think you could the competency degree in 6 months or less. And before then studying so that you can get through the Masters quicker. Maybe some certs/training that are reimbursed and free MOOCs.

Please let me know what NAU stands for.  I googled and found Northern Arizona University
