Running out of time- Need ANY Bachelors

[RunningOutOfTime]

I have 6 months until I will be fired from my job for not having a bachelors degree. Currently supporting 2 kids and a pregnant wife. What are the fastest possible bachelors degrees from ANY source, does not need to be regionally accredited- literally any bachelors will suffice. I do have 2 years of gen ed classes that could transfer in if needed. Please help

Please list your prior gen ed classes. The literal fastest will be UMPI. But specific advice will depend on exactly what credit you already have.

@RunningOutOfTime, In addition to what was mentioned already... Basically, apply to UMPI for their BLS, transfer in all your current credits, complete up to an additional 30 credits from Sophia.org to hit the remaining credits to get you to the max of 90. Complete the remaining 30 credits at UMPI for degree and residency requirements, part of those 30 credits should be upper level (part of the minor such as MIS, Management or PM) and you'll need more upper level, I suggest a second minor of your choice, such as History.

The literal fastest will be UMPI.

While I agree that UMPI is probably the best bet, the earliest start at UMPI is Spring 2 in mid-January, which runs to early March. So the degree could be conferred anywhere from the second week of March all the way to late April, which is approximately six months from now. WGU could be started as early as December 1, and while it's much less common than at UMPI, plenty of people have completed WGU in less than two months, and conferral is one week after all courses are complete. So it's definitely possible to graduate from WGU faster, potentially months ahead of UMPI.

@RunningOutOfTime, wow, awesome credits... you have a couple of options, maybe even add TAMUC/WGU.
Option 1: TESU BSBA GM, Apply for graduation before January 1, 2024 and graduate March, 2024.
You have the upper level for BSBA GM, you need the cornerstone/capstone and the rest through ACE/NCCRS
You can pay the residency waiver fee and be done with it... since you don't have a budget and want it ASAP

Option 2: UMPI BABA M&L, Apply now, finish May and apply for graduation, should grad in June! 10 classes through UMPI.
You will need to do two sessions, this may work for you as you finish in May and can probably grad end of May or beginning if June.
It may be riskier but this is a cheaper, easier, faster option once you get started. It depends on you...
You may want to revisit the WIKI for both TESU and UMPI to see which concentrations you're interested in.
