Please help me to get a Bachelor and Master Degree

[maplefu]

Hi everyone, I had a 3-year computer related diploma 20+ years ago not from an English country. Now I'm in Canada, and took one year Bachelor program in college several years ago. I didn't continue because I found a job as a programmer. I always want to find an online fast track Bachelor degree, but there's none in Canada. For several years I never gave up to get my Bachelor/Master. I applied WGU, Regis U and PeopleU several weeks ago, and still in processing.

Two days ago I found this forum by searching DIY degree. I'm really excited there're so many success DIYer.

My target is to get any Bachelor and Master degree that related to computer software/web. I'm not sure if I'm too old to finish this program if I still have to spend 4+ years to get the degree. 
My situation is, my first language is not English, I took one year Bachelor program in Canada, worked in Canada for 10+ years as a software developer.

I don't know which plan is the best for me. Most of USA colleges need TOEFL or hold a high school diploma. Is there any college could provide online degree without English requirement and accelerate my degree?

Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum,

The standard procedure, is to submit your foreign education transcipt's for a course by course evaluation to the required evaluation agency. Choose the destination college here in the United States, have your foreign transcript forwarded to the college, next step is to have your Canadian transcripts sent over to the destination college. In some cases this will automatically eliminate the need for EFL as your foreign education will demonstrate academic proficiency above high school level and your Canadian education should demonstrate English proficiency. Depending on what qualifications you already have particularly in computer certification Excelsior College used to award elective credit for these courses and I'm sure others may also. So you could be on to a great start. Next step is to find out what your general education requirements for your degree are and find a testing center for one of the multiple exams that can be taken to eliminate that part. Lots of help available here for that, what province and city are you in right now?



Thanks EI2HCB. Currently I'm in city Toronto.
Most of US colleges I applied need my Canadian transcript be evaluated by WES or the other agency. I have a 3-year computer diploma, which is almost useless now. The courses are too old 20+ years ago, university won't transfer any credit even for elective credit. I don't expect that diploma could give me any credit, but the one year I took in Canada I don't want to waste. If those college in US could waive my English test, I think I could enroll in.

I request some information from TESU this morning, but no response yet. I checked there tuition, it's really expensive--more than $60K.
