Advice for UL Courses for Homeland Security

[hlg38]

Just wondering hlg38, where did you get your B.S. in Public Administration and an M.Ed. in Instructional Design and Technology?
Excelsior is a good choice if you can transfer in many credits, TESU would most likely be lesser but they have a graduate certificate.  
Further to my question, do you have a set budget and time to complete this particular degree?  Like say under $9K and 1 year?

My B.S. is from Northern Arizona University, my M.Ed. is from American College of Education. Both are regionally accredited by the HLC. I'm hoping to transfer as many credits as possible to Excelsior or TESU. Budget and time aren't really factors. I'd like to complete the degree as soon as possible, but I have time on my side. As far as budget, I'm intrigued by the challenge of doing this as cheap as possible. This whole idea of a "DIY degree" is new to me, and I want to see how far I can get. I work in higher education at the community college level. I can get LL credits for free, which is a blessing, but that only gets you so far. I do not get UL credits for free, or even at a discount.
