What is the best option for getting a Bachelors degree with minimum additional effort

Excelsior or TESU are probably your best bets, depending on the answers to those questions.

Thanks for the quick reply. In addition to the credits mentioned I have a UK professional qualification that ECE evaluated to a US RA Bachelors degree. However, my objective is to actually have a "real" Bachelors degree as that is something employers are asking me for and is hindering career progress. 

The Biology and Chemistry courses did have a practical component (these credits are from UK A-levels and practical coursework is about 20 - 30% of the assessment). However, the ECE evaluation doesn't explicitly state a lab component so that might be an issue? 

In terms of budget, I'm flexible on that. Clearly the lower the cost, the better! However, my main concern is not having to do lots more credits as it feels like wasted effort and my day job means I'm often low on time. I want to use as much of what I have as possible and willing to pay a higher rate if its possible to do that.

Take a look at this page to gain a better understanding of what is required for degree completion: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ch...University

Sorry for my lack of clarity. I mean minimal effort in so far as using as many of the credits I already have as possible. Some institutions have lots of specific course requirements so I'm looking for a programme that is as flexible as possible on the credits I can include. For instance, some colleges offer 114 credits to transfer but because my credits are heavily weighted to accounting I might only be able to transfer 60 or so. What I'm really looking for is the most flexible programme on course requirements with maximum credit transfer. I realize a balance will need to be struck between the two factors and that's what I'd appreciate the guidance of this forum on because it's where I'm getting lost.
