Advice requested: accelerating a Bachelor's in Accounting or Business
#1
Your Location: 
  • MN, US
Your Age:
  • 40
What kind of degree do you want?:
  • Ideally, a BS in Accounting or Business (Admin/HR/Operations Management, etc.).
  • Degrees are school-specific, based on a tuition benefit through my employer (list included below). 
  • While Accounting is my top choice due to my 20 years of experience in the field, the most important aspect in choosing a degree at this point is the speed at which I can complete it.
  • I plan to pursue a master's degree in accounting, business, HR, data analytics, or a related field after earning a bachelor's degree. I do not plan to pursue a CPA license.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
  • 0, due to credit age and/or applicability to the degrees I'm interested in.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
  • 0 - I recently enrolled in courses through Sophia Learning.
Any certifications or military experience?
  • No military experience. 
  • I have certifications in a different field (healthcare) that would not be applicable, per the advisors I've spoken with.
Budget:
  • N/A - the degree will be covered by a tuition benefit through my employer. 
  • I plan to cover the cost of the ACE credits so I can transfer in the maximum number of credits and accelerate. 
Commitments:
  • I work part-time, 30-ish hours per week, in a flexible, self-directed role.
Dedicated time to study:
  • 30-ish hours per week.
Timeline:
  • 9-12 months (or less) would be ideal. 
Tuition assistance/reimbursement:
  • Tuition assistance is provided through my employer, as outlined below. My preference would be a degree program covered at 100%, since I am aiming to accelerate. I'm open to the other options as well.
