Strategizing Best Degree for FAST Completion?

[Heartstrings]

Is there a reason why you want the degree as fast as possible? You're only 21. I am in my 40s and I remember when I was in undergrad in my 20s. I was majoring in accounting and my advisor said I will not graduate until 2008. So I took the fastest route and majored in psychology. 2008 has come and gone and I would have had a career in something where I didn't have to live in poverty. Just something to think about.

Some people want to get things done quickly, so they're ahead in life...

I agree that people can be ahead in life at any age but instead of majoring in what can be completed the fastest what about majoring in something that they like or are passionate about.

@Heartstrings - Based on your own statements it seems that a business degree path would not have been wasted; which is the path the the OP is looking to take. I don't see how your personal experience changing from a business AOS (accounting) to psychology relates to this particular OP. If anything your experience suggests that the business path is a wise choice. Actually, psychology requires education beyond a bachelor for a professional role. So in your case, your 20-something self ended up putting you on a path that would require far more time in school than had you stuck with accounting as you had originally planned.

@:-) - Your choice of Business Admin for a bachelor is a good choice. It is a degree that will help you progress professionally in any field (no matter where your passion takes you), as every career is connected by business. If speed is your goal, then as rachel83az pointed out, SNHU offers the fastest path based on the school choices you listed; this because you can transfer in a significant number of quick and low cost alternative credits to them to reduce the amount of traditional courses you'll need to take. Yes, those alternative credits would be an out of pocket expense to you, but a small price to pay to maximize your current employer's tuition assistance.

Business degrees are a dime a dozen these days now too. I couldn't tell you if it is a wise decision. Life is short and it is even longer if you're doing something you hate. If someone is passionate about history and anthropology it wouldn't make sense to have a job in a corporate office if they would rather be outdoors. I have actually seen some people on this forum and this not something I want to continue to be apart of. This is my last post.
