New, looking for guidance, no credits - BinaS - 01-19-2020
Hi all,
I'm 25, from NY, have no credits or certifications, and want to apply to a program that requires a bachelor's degree. What is the best (cheapest, quickest) way to get it?

Hi BinaS!
Do you have any tuition reimbursement?
What are the requirements for the program? (especially accreditation and subject)
Is there a subject you already are familiar with?

No, I don't have any, but would qualify for financial aid.
No specific degree is required, just a bachelor's.
I'm somewhat familiar with history, psychology, English (literature, language arts).

You should get a BALS. Its a Liberal Arts/Liberal Studies degree where you can select from a few different subjects of specialization or study (like the ones you just mentioned above, english/history/psych, etc. There is a sample template on my Guide, see my signature for link and post #'s.
