How can I speed up my bachelors?

[arcangel27]

Most of the degrees we recommend can be done in 6-12 months.

You should be able to do a lot of the courses for CLEP and other alt credit providers in 1 week or less.

@Sir

Your Location: Nevada, United States. 
Your Age:  Minor: Under 16. I am a bit of an early starter, having started college at 10. I want to move more quickly and get an associates degree this summer, or a bachelors degree in a year or so with self paced courses and test-outs.
What kind of degree do you want?: Computer science, Psychology, Business, Cybersecurity 
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Break apart by school for ease of reading. Regional means the school has a regional accrediation. If you don't have any, that's okay leave it blank!

UND+UNR+WNC University Total Credits: 63, soon to be 71
Mathematics from MATH 96 to Calc 3 and now Linear Algebra
English 101 - 102 + two extras
Engineering 100
Computer Science 101+102 (Or whatever they are called, I have the two base pair)
Other assorted IT, Web Dev and Microeconomics courses.

Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: These are things like Study, Sophia, InstantCert InstantCredit, CLEP, Straighterline, Davar etc

I am sorry to have none, but I will start some CLEP/Study.com/University Self Paced Courses in a week or so.

Any certifications or military experience? I working on an OSCP or OSWP Cybersecurity Cert. I have learned a multitude of levels in many subjects, such as Programming, Server Management, Psychology and assorted Sciences. I am also interested in Architecture and Cybersecurity, and own my VPN company.

Can we private message and discuss this please?

Being a minor especially under 16 will severely limit your options.

If you are under 18, you're not going to be getting a degree at most schools. Check https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ch...University for the minimum age requirements. You could get Psych or Business from Excelsior, perhaps. Or business from COSC.

If you want something like Comp Sci, though, it doesn't really make sense to do much more than your gen eds + electives because the catalog could change greatly between now and when you're able to enroll at TESU upon turning 18.

Schools have been incessantly annoying with regards to my age, but most have let me in (As per no age discrimination).

I understand, perhaps TESU would let me in to take classes with a bit of negotiation.

[rachel83az]

No, TESU is very, VERY strict on that point. They want students to be 20 when you enroll, but you can enroll at 18 with a waiver.

Some schools will be happy to let you study as a non-degree-seeking student, categorizing you as dual-enrollment. Actually being allowed to become degree seeking and graduate is another matter entirely.

Right, perhaps I would be interested in TESU just to take a few classes, but I may have to try my associates at Exilsor (For profit, unfortunately) or some other similar university.

Do you have any recommendations for such universities?

[Tedium]

You can get an associates very quickly at COSC, while you wait to enroll in TESU if Comp Sci is your goal. It just depends on if you need the associates now. Rachel is right about changing requirements at TESU. Might be a whole different ball game in two years and you may end up wasting time and money.

If you want to go the business route at COSC, I would have said just go for the BSBA instead of the AS, but they aren’t charging a graduation fee right now, so you’d just be out the semester fee it takes to take your Cornerstone. That’s such a fluff class that you shouldn’t have any problem knocking it out while taking Sophia courses.

Just keep in mind that any of the Big 3 require Cornerstone and Capstone courses. If you do the AS at COSC, it will be more economical to get your BSBA there because you’ll only have to pay for your Capstone.

We don't usually recommend Associate degrees here, especially for someone so young. They are expensive and completely unnecessary for getting a Bachelor's degree. Once you have a Bachelor's degree, they're also pretty worthless. Check out this page, though, for some of the least expensive options: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/As...7s_Degrees

Depending on where you live and how fast you are able to get through the work, Snow College might be optimal if you insist on having an Associate degree anyway.

He just mentioned wanting an AS over the summer, so I threw it out there.

Isn't Snow College ridiculously expensive for non-Utah residents? $6k vs $1500 or something like that?

They've had scholarships in the past, if you ask them about it, that make it (almost) as cheap as Utah residents.
