Best option for FAST credits that will transfer into UPENN LPS or Harvard Extention

Jennifer, Sorry for making it sound like UIU had a bad name. I merely meant that UIU does not have the name recognition or reputation of the schools the OP is trying to transfer credits to (Harvard, UPenn). So I made an assumption that name recognition was important. I actually considered UIU for my degree and was in the process of applying until I realized that TESC was a quicker option for me.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Oh, I knew what you meant. I have no affiliation with that school, just saying it's a well regarded school.
I sometimes think people get tunnel vision with names. There is a private college that my brother attended in my hometown. He paid $1000/credit and that was back in the late 90's. Seriously, i'd bet my last dollar no one here has ever heard of it....begging the question, it's a "name" but not to everyone, just to some. So, that's what I meant by name is relative. Had he stayed local, that name would have been very well regarded in our community, but he moved to Chicago, and 150 miles he could have gone to school half a world away. The "name" meant nothing in his interviews. Not talking about specific fields, but your run of the mill liberal arts, business, psychology, general education, business, teaching, etc. degree.... I believe there's the top 1%, the bottom 1% and everyone else is pretty much equal.
