I do not have any prior college experience except for one ap psychology credit. I cannot decide between majoring in psychology or english, or I've I should major in both. I am wanting to go to law school. Ideally, I would like to complete the degree(s) as quickly as possible 2 years max. I'd also like to keep my cost at no more than $10,000. Any insight and/or advice is appreciated. Thank you.
"In order to have a GPA included in your application for law schools, the Law School Admissions Council requires you to earn at least 60 graded semester credits before your bachelor's degree is conferred," said mysonx3 in this Law School thread.
For TESU with a flat term rate doing 5 classes per term, that's 4 terms or 12 months. $19,112. One note about TESU is that their exams can be tough, so you must be careful picking classes to keep your GPA high.
For PUG at 5 courses a term, you're done in 4 terms or 12 months. $11,200
For SNHU, they'll let you only do 2 courses for the first 2 terms, then 3 after that. So that's around 16 months. $19,200.
For UMPI, it is quick and cheap to get 60 graded credits. At 5-10 courses a term, you're done in 2-4 terms or 4-8 months. $2800-$5600
Since you will be doing so many courses at the college, it makes sense to double major. I personally believe there are only 3 types of degrees, Liberal Arts, Business, and Computers Tech. I would pick at least one business or computer tech degree, so you have something to fall back on if things don't work out.
If you did UMPI, for example, you could do BA in business admin in project management, which requires some logic skills similar to law and, then you could do your English degree or pick another degree that interests you.
You will want to shoot for a GPA of at least 3.9, which can do done easily. Most people that don't earn high grades are making simple mistakes such as not following directions, turning in assignments late, or not advocating for themselves.

After you graduate college, it will likely take 2-3 months to study for the LSAT. A high LSAT score will be key to getting as close to a free ride in college as possible.
