Need guidance in completing bachelors of science to be a Navy officer


Hi there all ,
I just recently came across this article of earning a bachelors degree from the big 3 school in as quick as one year .
When clicked the link on the bottom it told me to pay 279 to get a plan , I don't know if I should buy it or not and further research brought me here .

So , now I want experts (your opinion) and I am not just asking with nothing in return , I will send 3 most helpful people a surprise gift

That said ,

Something about me
I have a associate in arts from Truman college and have a IB diploma ,a CNA certificate ,a O'level certificate and few ap classes that I have passed .

Currently I will be starting my navy career as a enlistee rank 3, and I want to be a intelligence officer In the navy which require a bachelors preferred in science

Here is the requirement for navy intelligence officer

Education Minimum of a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution is required. Major fields of study directly related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are most strongly preferred but not required. Degrees in political science, language/regional studies, international relations or history are acceptable. An undergraduate cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.2 or greater is required.

First off don't buy it. just scroll through this forum. You will find a lot of information.

Also visit the degreeforum wiki to see an example of degree plans. Would you mind PMing me the link to the website of the person charging? I'm curious.

Please, DO NOT, post the link.

Personally, I have nothing against someone looking to make a couple bucks doing degree plans. Believe me, I've done a few here for people for free and it could take some time. But, all the advice I received was free, so I pay it forward the same, FREE. I would delete the whole surprise gift thing, people here are not motivated with rewards.

don't pay for anything- it's all here for free. I promise you whoever's site that is, came here first

In addition to the big 3, I would suggest you look at American Military University. The main difference is you won't be able to test out of the whole degree, but they offer degrees in intelligence, and you can use CLEP for all of your lower level gen eds (60 credits). The speed at which you complete your first 60 is up to you, but if you are motivated, under 6 months would be the norm here. The upper level courses are on short semesters there, so you can complete the last 2 years of college in under 1 year- it's very fast. So, just using what you learn here, you can do 4 years in 1.5 at AMU. There *may* be some upper level courses you can even test out of, shaving off additional cost and time, though I'm not an expert in that- but if they exist, AMU will accept them. Here is their site: AMU Bachelors Programs

PS Please don't offer to send people gifts- this is a free forum. What you can do, is if you work this degree, stick around to share your tips and pay it forward that way. :patriot:

Curiously, there seems to be an inverse relationship between cost of degree planning advice and quality. Life isn't usually like that, but now and then you catch a break. No individual knows everything. Collectively we know a lot, usually everything most people need to know. Also, for subjective questions such as what test is easiest, you need the opinions of many people so that you can synthesize your own, personal best answer.

It is better to finish well instead of quickly. You need to get enough rest to do well in school and perform your job safely. I hope you thrive, not just survive.

I think the OP would be better off with a degree in political science (international emphasis) or international relations. Those are the degrees that are specifically listed as being acceptable. If the OP wanted to work for a different intelligence agency in the future, a political science or international relations degree will have more portability. APUS does offer those degrees, but so do Excelsior (as a concentration), COSC (as a concentration), and TESC (as majors). Like homeland security degrees, I have a low opinion of intelligence degrees and so do many others.

This. And then read it again lol.

We have many military here, I hope they chime in.

Kind of like "Police State" degrees?hilarious I am waiting to see if Excelsior really comes out with a real Emergency Management degree in 2016 as they say. Homeland security is not as useful nor as respected.
