No credits, no background

If you're starting from scratch with no existing credits and no work experience or other background knowledge to draw on, they can all be equally quick; in the end, it will depend on your study skills, your ability to absorb and process information, and your writing skills.

Assuming everything else is equal, generally, the quickest degrees are the ones that are most easily completed using alternate credit. The most popular of those are Liberal Studies degrees and Business Administration degrees since those are the easiest to complete via alt credit from the Big 3. There are a number of other degrees you can also pursue, but some are harder than others to complete using alternate credit. It also depends on which school you intend to attend; each school has different requirements in terms of upper vs lower division credits and specific courses that must be applied to a degree.

If you're interested in business, IT, or education, you might also want to consider WGU. You can complete a degree there just as fast as one from the Big 3, but you'll need to take more courses directly from them since they require 30 credits of residency, where the Big 3 only require 3-6 credits.

If cost is a concern, they are all within $1,000-$2,000 of each other for a bachelor's degree. The cheapest is WGU and the most expensive is TESU. This assumes you can complete 30 credits/10 courses within 6 months, if not then COSC becomes the cheapest and WGU comes in just a bit above TESU.

Ultimately it is up to you to determine what you want a degree in. I suggest that you think about what interests you, what degrees will best support those interests, and then figure out which school will best support your degree plan.
