Degree Plan for BS in Information Technology
#1
Hello, 

I am already in an entry level IT job and have worked up to a management position. I have worked there 5 years and want to get out of help desk management and pursue something more technical/hands on, but in order to get even an interview at most companies in the area, they require the candidate to have a bachelor's degree in computer science or information technology. I have read the Beginners Guide and the Wiki but not sure what all is still relevant as many things there have been listed as out of date.

I have a full time job and don't really have time to test at a site and would rather do everything online if possible. Of course I can make exceptions if it makes the most sense.
The faster I can get the degree while working full time, the better. That is my #1 priority.
Fast > Easy > Cheap are my priorities in that order.

I have not applied/enrolled in any school yet as I still don't really have a grasp on even how gen ed's work across the degree plans/schools.
I have taken 1 class at a community college for English Comp I and passed with a 98%. I have zero certifications to help matters.

I am open to the Big 3/WGU, I am really looking for some help on a degree plan for Information Technology (or similar if one of the offshoot degrees are much faster/easier to achieve). I just need some help to determine which school will get me the degree I need and in the most time/cost efficient manner possible. Then with some help plugging in a spreadsheet, I should be on my way and this thread could then be used for future IT degree seekers that have no college under their belt.

P.S. I might be pursuing government jobs after this milestone if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance,
Brad
