Are there any alternatives that can be completed more quickly? I have English and Math prerequisites and some other credits as well.
You can't do it in 4 weeks today. It's not possible. The Big 3 all have capstones now and required courses at their schools. Even UMPI will take at least 8 weeks after you complete all of your transfer credits. These are the quickest degrees - the Big 3 and UMPI.

For most people no. Define having time on your hands. I mean if you spend 10 hours a day on something sure you'll get it done faster. Doesn't mean you will have learned anything or earned decent grads which may be an issue if you want to go to grad school later. Working at that pace also leads to burnout. You're also limited on Study.com how many courses you can complete in a month. You can't test out of a degree anymore.
