Snow College accelerated AS - review/help

IReallyNeedADegree is German. IReallyNeedADegree does not have a German HS diploma. IReallyNeedADegree has a U.S. GED. IReallyNeedADegree wants a European undergrad from schools that will not accept students who have prior bachelors. A GED is pretty much worthless in Europe. Having a HS diploma and/or an Associate degree would allow IReallyNeedADegree to attend a European in-person university. Having a U.S. Bachelor's degree does not confer the same benefits.

The European university is important because IReallyNeedADegree's desired profession in Germany generally only hires people with degrees from a few select universities.

@IReallyNeedADegree if you had started at ASU when you first asked, you would already be done with the first group of non self-paced courses and able to tackle the self-paced ones. The next start date is in about a week (March 7). Grab 6 of those courses for $150 to start (plus another $400 per course to transcript - a total of $2550 for 18 credits). Work on one class each day of the week, with an extra day left over in case you start to fall behind or need a little extra time on something. This is, almost certainly, the fastest way you can earn 18 credits. Do it again in May. Maybe once more in June. Round off, if needed, with some 100% self-paced courses. This will get you somewhere between 36 and 60 credits. Transfer these credits to Wauboneee or SNHU to get your Associate by spring of 2024.

This is almost certainly the fastest and cheapest way to get an Associate degree with 100% RA credit and no alt credit.

TEL Learning's Associate would theoretically be cheaper, but I'm not sure it'd be any faster. It'd theoretically be 100% self-paced, though. Each TEL learning course has 2 live-proctored exams plus at least 3 hefty assignments. You cannot transfer credit into the TEL degree. Everything must be taken from TEL. It's also unclear if they do allow students to graduate early or if they enforce a minimum time limit.
