Adult starting from scratch
#1
North Carolina, USA 
Your Age: 48
What kind of degree do you want?:  Liberal Arts or Business
Current Regional Accredited Credits:  0 

Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  
Commitments: I teach several highschool classes in our Co-Op, plus my own children, plus being the kids' taxi. It feels similar to a full time job but with flexible hours. 
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 15 hours a week, maybe.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None


Hello!  Before kids I was in business and loved my work.  For the past 15 years I've been a stay at home mom. During this time, I've been homeschooling my children and teaching Middle School writing and High School logic and economics in our Homeschool Co-Op.   I feel like now, it's my time to invest time in obtaining a Bachelors degree.  


I've loved reading the posts on this forum and could use some personal advice on what direction to take and how to create a degree plan that uses my time well since I'm starting from scratch.   Since I don't have a plan for what to do with the degree afterwards, I am flexible on what to pursue...business, liberal arts, psychology- whatever is easiest and most expeditious . I do prefer writing to maths. 
Thank you!!!
