Update: These are the Masters Programs I recommend you take, after your local Bachelors.
Nationally Accredited recognized by USDOE and CHEA (international standards equal/same as Regionally Accredited).

UofPeople MBA Tuition Free - Application Fee $60, Assessment Fee $200, Total $2,460 (11 exams at $200 each).
UofPeople: http://www.uopeople.edu/programs/ba/degrees/master-of-business-administration/paying-for-school/

New Charter University - $1497/3 months, $2994/6 months (This is all that it costs again for the entire degree).
New Charter U Masters/Tuition: http://www.new.edu/academics/costs-fees-tuition/

If you're just looking for a Masters in "religious studies", maybe Nations University Masters at less than $1000!
This is if you can cram everything into 1 year or it would be $1,945 over 2 years, $2,905 over 3 years.
The info is found in the Nations University Masters of Divinity: http://nationsu.edu/masters-of-divinity/

This isn't always true. Some countries only recognize U.S. schools that are regionally accredited, and nationally accredited schools are treated as being unaccredited. It's best to check with an evaluation authority in your country or recognized in your country before you complete an NA degree.

Sorry for a late answer! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this message! I will have to check if these schools are regionally accredited because that is very important for me. But prices are very reasonable for all of those schools! Thank you once again.

Nations, New Charter, and University of the People are not regionally accredited. They're all nationally accredited by DEAC.

Yup, read the link I posted earlier: http://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/showthread.php?tid=27492
Capella, Hodges/Patten accept International Students, WGU accepts certain Canadian applicants.

Lots of opinion here from non-Europeans,  If you have already submitted your current Swedish education for an evaluation. They will recommend a certain amount of credit for each course, presuming you chose the course by course evaluation. They will send you a report in the mail and it will detail all that.
Do you want to teach English in Sweden or outside the European union? Many overseas teaching positions only require an degree from an English speaking nation, If you want to get your U.S degree quickly and cheaply you'll need to add to the Swedish credits that you currently have on your evaluation, these will for the most part be topics not normally studied at a European University as requirements for your Swedish degree, subjects like history and social sciences, and basic math that you already took when you were in high school in Sweden so the coursework won't be too difficult. You will either need to take a certain amount of credits at the particular college to gain residency or pay a fee. Excelsior College is 12 credits for example the fee used to be around 1500  dollars but it could have increased since I applied.

If you only want to teach English in Korea or some place overseas, then I recommend getting a degree at one of the big three in the U.S at using the credits you've already got from Sweden plus the general education credits required for a U.S degree. In addition finish off your Swedish degree so you can use it across the EU within the framework http://www.nfq-qqi.com/qualifications-frameworks.html
My EU level 6 certificate transferred into Excelsior as 27 credits so you'll be much higher on the scale than I was.
