Starting with 0 or only a few credits, what is the fastest anyone has finished?

[Maniac Craniac]

John Bear has mentioned that he knew someone who studied for a few weeks and took four GREs over the weekend to complete a bachelor's from Excelsior. This was, however, way back when Excelsior awarded 30 credits for passing GREs in the 40th percentile, before capstones and when you could schedule a few GREs in such a short time span.

Are you planning on speeding your way through it, yourself?

I decided not to do it the speed demon route. Sure, I want to waste no time (although I have already wasted plenty!) but there are so many courses that I want to take, and to thoroughly absorb what I learn. You might want to take that into consideration when planning your degree. The fastest degree routes will include learning just a few random facts that you can bubble in to several, mostly easy, multiple choice exams. Some of the basic business, math and social science exams don't even require study for someone who has finished high school.

Sure, there are plenty of available resources for learning any subject imaginable, but you will likely only do "the college thing" once in your life

Obviously, you know your needs best, but I just wanted to, at least, give you an alternate view of the matter.
