Fastest Path to a Bachelor's (and Master's) in Psychology for me

[Ninjadude]

Secular or religious applies to the type of school. The degree you want is popular at many faith-based universities. For instance, Kairos University is relatively inexpensive and is faith-based. I can't remember if their degrees are valid for licensing in Florida. Then there are secular institutions like Walden where you can get a similar inexpensive Master's after you finish your Bachelor elsewhere. Again, I cannot remember if they are valid for Florida's licensing needs.

For Psych vs. not Psych, non-Psych may be a faster/cheaper route at the undergrad level. You'd need to decide on your possible schools for your Master's degree, though, and be sure you hit the prerequisites, if any.

You can see degree plans for TESU here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap

Gotcha - thanks!
If that's the case, I think I will almost qualify for a Liberal Arts degree as it is.

Any guidance on Master's programs for Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) that are reasonably fast to complete and reasonably priced?
That will give me a starting point for seeing if completing a Liberal Arts Bachelor's will do the trick.


Thanks!

Since a MFT degree is not a Psych degree, you're not going to get much out of a Psych bachelor's degree.  So just start researching MFT degrees, choose one, and then see what degree will work best.  I'm guessing any bachelor's degree will be just fine.

Your fastest option by far is going to be the TESU BSTS, since you have almost everything met:

1) Intellectual & Practical Skills area
- not sure if your Intro to Communications course is a speech course; if not, that's easy enough to take cheaply/quickly

2) Civic & Global Leadership area
- all 3 covered

3) Knowledge of Human Cultures area
- You need a few more GE's
 - a SocSci
 - 1 course from SocSci, History/Humanities that you haven't already taken (you've taken US History I & II, Art History I, Sociology, that leaves a lot)

4) Science area
- covered

5) AoS (Major)
- Computer course should be covered by Programming course, if not, Intro to IT is fast & easy
- Physics I & II covered
- Stats covered
- math above college algebra covered
- 21cr from a single discipline covered by EGN/EML/EGM courses, 2cr LL and 30cr UL
- 18cr of other technical covered by remaining EGN/EML/EGM courses and then remaining science courses
- Project Management can be done via alt-credit
- Capstone

6) Free Electives are covered

So my guess is, you pay for a month of Sophia and take:
- Intro to Psych
- Visual Communications (or Art History II)
- Project Management
- possibly Intro to IT
- possibly Public Speaking

and then you do a term at TESU for the Cornerstone and Capstone.

Maybe $7000 when all is said and done, unless you want to do a 16cr term to save some money (I probably would not).

You should immediately apply to TESU for the BSTS, and send:
- AP transcripts
- CC transcript
- 4yr school transcript

Then post your eval here and see if they took the Engineering courses as we hope they will (all as a single discipline) to meet the 21cr threshold.

Thank you for this.

Here are the BSTS requirements that I found:


A few questions:

  - Do I have to take those 3 specific Knowledge of Human Cultures classes? (Forensic Science, American History I, and Exploring American Cinema)?
  - Does anything I have satisfy CIS-107?
  - Wouldn't I also have to take APS-401
  - You would recommend that capstone and cornerstone at the same time?
  - Would a BA in Liberal Arts / Liberal Studies be shorter?



Thank you!!
