BS/BA CompSci/WebDev/Graphic Design

So, I'm not trying to talk you out of your dream - but literally every person I've ever known who worked in Graphic Design did not get their degree in graphic design. This is one of those fields where a portfolio of work will be far more useful than any degree possibly could. Instead of getting a degree, why don't you start working in your field? Because a degree wasn't your dream - working as a graphic designer was.

That being said, I am not a huge fan of graphic design degrees just because they are more pricy than we usually like here, due to having to get a lot of courses non-alternatively. It's also time-consuming. But, if you really want a graphic design degree, then my advice is to check Guild Education for every school that they will pay for, and research their Graphic Design degrees. A boatload of schools on there takes ACE credit.

Then, apply to every single one that interests you, and see where your credits come in; but more importantly, see what you have left to complete, and if there are ways to get any of those courses alternatively. Last, see what the coverage will be in terms of tuition reimbursement; some of the schools cost more than others. A school that only gives you 1 course per semester will take FOREVER to finish. So find where you'll get the most bang for your buck: something that takes everything you've already taken, will allow you to take more ACE credit to fill up the rest, and then will allow you to take the final credits there at a reasonable pace at a reasonable price.
