If you're starting from scratch, with no particular subject matter expertise, Liberty University's MA in Executive Leadership is a one year program.

I'm another vote for WGU-
My situation is a little different as I'm in the Master or Science, Accounting program. There are 10 classes in my program- so pretty much I'm allowing 18 days per class to finish in one 6 month term. I've completed 4 classes since December 1st. I'm currently around 10 days behind schedule- but should be able to make up the time with my next two classes. I did two of the harder courses first, leaving me just two more particularly challenging courses. I have a couple classes that just require a paper- so should be able to finish those in less than 18 days and catch back up.

I just finished the BS in Accounting back in November- the topics being really fresh in mind has definitely been helpful.

It's not easy though- I work too and the whole process is just grueling and I'm OVER it. I should have taken a break in between the BS and graduate programs.

As many of you can see from my post history I have been trying to get this journey started for years.
The issue is, and I am not trying to brag at all, but I keep getting promoted and recruited to better positions.
I have been everything from EVP to my current C level position.
Now there is finally a ceiling I have hit which requires a Masters in order for me to be eligible for a board seat. There is no workaround for this requirement.
The problem I face and have faced is I simply do not have that much time to put into this because of how much I work but need to get this accomplished.

I have read that NCU might be the way to go, but I wanted to know if there are any other options out there for simplicity/workload and speed. Especially if the cost is not an issue?

I truly appreciate you all very much!
WGU is the way to go. Enrolled now, I love it. Not easy tho, but allows me to keep full time commitments.
