Honestly looking for Easy/Casual School

[Unistic]

Correct, associates in Criminal Justice (RA) and a bachelors Information Technology (NA). Overall gpa is 3.16 still just researching the list of schools suggested/found and will make a decision on Monday. Again the goal is just to burn up my GI Bill and save the monthly payment I'll receive for my son's education. So I am looking for a more manageable degree and it wouldn't hurt to learn something new as well. So far I've narrowed it down to:

Bellevue Univeristy - Strategtic Finance 1 year
University of Arizon Global Campus - UAGC - MS Finance 15 months
SNHU - MS Finance 15 months
CSU Global - MS Finance - maybe
Webster University, MS Finance, 1 year
Cambridge college global , MS Finance 1 year
UMPI -BLS in management

I can tell you a bit about CSU Global. I was a student there before I transferred to UMPI. I have also spent a great deal of time talking to Bellevue University about grad programs there. Both of these schools have strict weekly schedules. Every Thursday there are assignments due and every Sunday. There are weekly discussions with multiple responses required along with citations. Every week you write a paper 5-7 pages or longer. Undergrad was 5-7 and I've been told grad it's longer. There are weekly graded quizzes as well. Along with a great deal of reading. You're required to buy textbooks or rent them. 

Based on what you sent me privately, I don't know how well you would hold up to those requirements. There's no leeway in the deadlines and requirements. UMPI is VERY forgiving. You're on your own schedule. If you want to complete 2 classes in a term, then that's no problem. You're not on a weekly schedule with hard deadlines. The only hard deadlines are the last day to submit rough drafts and the last day of classes. I have ADHD and struggled immensely at CSU Global with the workload and the constant deadlines. That's why I gave UMPI a try. I figured I didn't have anything to lose. I actually ended up graduating several months earlier than I would have at CSU Global and saved myself several thousand dollars plus an unmeasurable amount of stress. You have a lot of freedom in the UMPI program unlike the scheduled programs. WGU may be another option for you to look at as well. They're also a CBE program.

I wouldn't be able to hold up at all lmao. Thanks for that through response, much appreciated with that said I've narrowed the list below. Webster seems to be just writing papers nothing on discussions I'm going to call and ask them though cause I wouldn't mind learning a bit of finance. Cambridge College seems to be about the same I have found zero information on them as well. I know you've stated that UMPI would be the best especially the BLS in management and its on the list but if I could do finance I would prefer that and I'm not interested in their master at all. Still the main goal is to burn up the GI bill and save up the housing allowance. The other thing with UMPI is that I'm not sure if I would be able to complete the courses at a fast pace. I've read about people doing 5 or more classes per term making it worth it. If I went to a college more structured than within that year I could obtain another degree while also burning up my GI Bill.

If I don't find anything about Webster or Cambridge's course load then, UMPI will be my destination. Thank you!!

Cost isn't an issue because the GI bill is paying for it. What do you mean about ease? From what I'm reading the course work is manageable which I"m looking for in a plan and its a 1 year master in finance which I also want.

Also when researching colleges that are considered easy "manageable", 1 year Masters in Finance. I came across Cambridge College Global, still looking up how its coursework run though.

Thank you!

Depending on your commitments in life, if you have a lot on your hands, a Competency Based degree may or may not be for you.  

Most CBE programs are self paced and you pay by the term, I also suggest taking a look at the WGU MSML option instead of having UMPI BLS in Management on your list, as a Masters trumps a Bachelors any day of the week, furthermore, the cost would be about 4K/6 months, or roughly 8/year if you need more time...  

BTW, when I mentioned ease to finish, I meant the number of assignments, readings, study, workload, etc compared to other programs... if you can find one that is to your liking, it'll save you energy/time in the long run.

Thank you, and I'm still iffy on CBE. I hear that most people that fly threw them are the ones with actual career experience. Everyone else have the standard completion times of 4 years for a bachelors and 2 years for a master. Again that's what I've heard.
