Newbie Canadian looking for advice - where to get liberal arts degrees?

[Old Guy]

All your courses should be readily transferable. A key term to remember is ACE Approved. Charter Oak State College, Excelsior College and Thomas Edison State University accept ACE Approved courses for credit. Look at the requirements for different programs and start taking courses. For $80 per month at Shmoop, I have 5 courses in 3 weeks of pretty intensive study. They have mostly literature, history, and math. Be careful with their math because I suspect some of them might duplicate. One thing to keep an eye on is accumulating enough upper level courses to satisfy requirements but they are out there. There are cheap ($20 for online proctor) ACE Approved from Saylor, free courses from TEEX and a couple others, and math courses from ALEKS which is in ACE limbo at the moment. To accumulate your credits you open an ACE account and and have ACE transfer in your completed credits. The ACE account is free except you pay something like $20 for transcripts. If you're careful, your coursework can be very cheap.
