Any accelerated online engineering bachelors out there?

[jobojoe285]

Someone I know is thinking of career changing into an engineering career (I think electrical, so the program would be computer or electrical engineering). Their concern is not wanting to spend 4 years doing a "standard/classic" degree, so I've been trying to help and see if there's any accelerated programs like WGU, etc. I found some online degrees in this but they seem to be standard university where you must complete in 4 years, but can be done online.

Anyone know if there's anything that can be accelerated (provided the person can learn quickly, etc.)?

Without knowing the budget, how the student studies, their commitments, etc, it's pretty hard to gauge what program may be a good fit. Most programs that allow transfer credits would be the ones you would look for, the bulk of them will be in Engineering Technology and similar undergrad degrees and not a full Engineering degree. Have you asked if the person is looking for ABET accredited programs? If so, review their website for approved online programs...
