I just needed the paper because I was already established in my career. So my decision came down to a couple of things:

1. Cost - it was a huge issue for me as I needed/wanted to pay cash.
2. Length of program - I wanted it quickly - although due to my own procrastination it didn't turn out to be so quick Smile
3. How much more math would I have to take - I'm math phobic.

No, that's not true. All of the credits you listed will be used in EVERY degree you consider. What's the variable are your military credits.
