Planning Bachelor Degree (through 1 of the Big 3)

[allvia]

For those not aware of Athabasca University in Canada, they do NOT accept ACE/NCCRS credits.  All the courses an applicant takes must be from an accredited community college, 4 year college, or university.  

The only or main "utility" for this is to allow someone to "teach" in Alberta or abroad.  The majority of people going for this degree will NOT be continuing onto graduate school as it's not a 4 year degree, it's a 3 year 90 credit degree in "General Studies".

Further to this, the only program that does NOT require residency is the BGS mentioned above, it's a 3 year Bachelors of General Studies (no major, two concentrations/designations to choose from - Applied Studies or Arts & Sciences).  

Another alternative in Canada, with 15 residency credits, TRU's distance/open learning options.  All of their online distance 4 year Bachelors Degree require just that 15 credit residency requirement - there is no option for waivers and they do NOT accept ACE/NCCRS.

I have roughly 130 credits all from 2 year tech schools. I just want a Bachelor degree as fast & easy as I can get it. (I have a few job options that require just a Bachelors degree, doesn’t matter in what) What are my options? 
Thanks!

Since it sounds like you're looking for a check box bachelor degree - then you can try Athabasca University (overall the investment cost of applying/transcript evaluation is small) - personally, this is what I would do for speed. Even if it didn't work out the $ loss would be small- and if you were still just short a few UL courses, there are low cost traditional courses available that could still keep your total cost under the Big3 minimums. 

Your other option is one of the Big3 - since it is unlikely that your 2 year courses will come in as UL (but is possible some may) I would suggest TESU first (as they require less UL, but cost more), and then COSC - both for Liberal Studies degrees.
