wow that sounds amazing..... do you know how big of a time difference there is with a the concentration in finance vs just business...... if its only a couple of courses seems worth it I will follow your plan most likely how long did it take you if you dont mind me asking.

You could probably test out of the whole general business degree. That would be the quickest, but also everyone and their brother is getting that. You may want to go a little more specialized, like I did with my finance concentration.

With the finance concentration, you have to take a few courses, which will lengthen the amount of time it will take. Only by a few months though.

It took me just around two years, start to finish, to complete all coursework. I won't receive my degree until December, but that's OK. With dedication, it could be completed in about 12-24 months easy. It helps to have a plan

If you want to get started right now, start taking all the CLEPs and DSSTs that are listed on my degree plan. I believe you said that you had previous credits, so only take the exams that absolutely won't duplicate. This will allow you to begin knocking out credits, and give you a little more time to figure out exactly what you want to do.

Let me know if you need any help. I'm glade to help because others have helped me.

It might help to look at financial world's plan and old postings. You will see a lot of these questions have already been answered in the past.
My wife has a finance degree and is doing very well for herself, but I doubt that a degree in accounting would hold you back.
Thomas Edison has a degree in financial management too.
There is a lot of overlap until you get to the end so just start knocking out the business core:
microeconomics, macroeconomics, marketing, management, statistics, accounting I&II, business law, information systems etc.

I bet you could knock out 4 CLEPs per month if you dedicate yourself.

I am going to really commit my self to this and try to get through as fast as possible.... would it be a better idea to bang out the actual business degree first to just get it done then do the classes afterward for the concentration in finance? Can that even be done that way.
