Need a plan to get an Associates fast and cheap

[LevelUP]

Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 1 or 1.5 yr. (I've seen some threads where some have finished the Pierpont BOG in 6 months and that possibility motivates me)

Through Sophia, You can gather the credits needed for the Pierpont BOG in just 2-3 months.  However, you will have to wait before your actual degree is issued.

I would plan to take courses that would fit the Pierpont BOG degree and the general ed of WGU/UMPI or whatever college you may be considering attending after your Pierpont BOG degree.
