Unaccredited or Life Experience Degrees that are legal?

I spoke with UMPI and they said the YourPace program accepts max 90 credits and 30 has to be completed at UMPI. Are people really accelerating those 10 classes in a month and a half? I could probably transfer in 60 or more credits

I’m fine with putting in the work but I’m looking to be strategic aka not spending too much time if I don’t need to. Like how WGU lets students accelerate vs going to a 4 yr college. I’ve looked at UMPI and WGU and it’s looking like it’ll take more than a year to finish

How long did it take you?

It's been posted on here countless times that UMPI accepts up to 90 credits and that you must complete at least 30 credits at UMPI. Additionally you have to meet the UL in major and general electives. You also must complete the GEC.

No you cannot complete the 10 courses in a month and a half. Every course is offered every semester. Every course is not offered every term. Each semester is compromised of 2 terms. A term is 8 weeks long. You will need to plan for a minimum of 2 terms. You also need to understand that on average students complete 2-3 courses per term. Those of us who completed more are the exception and far from the rule. Your experience and knowledge will also vary from mine. 

How long it took me isn't how you gage your speed through a degree. It doesn't sound like you have any credits yet. I'd start those Sophia classes and see how long they take me and if that method works for me. WGU is also a self paced program. Just because a school allows students to complete the program in under a year does not mean that most students actually do. The vast majority do not. You need to set realistic expectations. Start with the Sophia courses and see how that goes so you can begin to come up with a plan.
