Advice Needed - Competency-based graduate degrees that allow acceleration
#1
Hello,

I have been reading this forum for a while and the advice dispensed has been invaluable. 

I am graduating from WGU this week with a BSCIA degree and continuing with them to pursue a Master's in June of this year.

I am in my 50s with over 30 years of professional work experience and I found the WGU BSCIA degree super easy to accelerate; obviously due to my work experience.

With the free time I have until June, I want to knock out another graduate degree prior to beginning my Master's at WGU. 
The degree could be in a variety of concentrations. I work in FinTech, so a MBA, a MS Finance, MS IT, MS Cybersecurity would all suffice; any of them would be a benefit to me because I work in a cross-discipline role.

I have looked at dozens of online schools, but very few are competency-based, allow acceleration, are not a for-profit school, and are accredited. 

Two programs that fit my search criteria are Purdue Global Master's ExcelTrack and UMPI's Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership (MAOL). 
Those are good programs and I am speaking to enrollment counselors at both of them.

However, I am still searching for other options.

Are there are other graduate degree programs that are:
1. competency-based
2. allow acceleration
3. not a for-profit school
4. accredited

If any of you are aware of graduate degree programs that fit that criteria, I am very interested to learn about them. 

I did search the forums here as well various searches using search engines, YouTube, and Reddit, but it seems that WGU and Purdue Global are the two main schools that fit the aforementioned criteria. 

Thank you in advance and I look forward to your replies.
