Any certifications or military experience?

No

Budget: 10k out of pocket, willing to take on student loans.  I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast!  

Commitments: Family & pets. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends. I can mostly set my own schedule at work.


Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 2 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 3-6 hours, total would be roughly 10+6=16 hours or slightly more.


Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the Bachelors degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  The sooner I finish my BA/S the sooner I can start my masters. For licensure in Oregon you must go to schools that meet all the requirements. The program must also be a minimum of 3 years. 


[b]Tuition assistance/reimbursement: nothing in stone[/b]

I have been looking at the new WGU BS Psychology program because of the cost and the fact that it is an exam based school. I am a good test taker as I retain information, especially recent information, very well. For my masters I was very much considering going to an online program offered by George Fox University based out of Portland OR. Their masters program satisfies all requirements for both the LMFT and LPC which is fantastic. They should also be able to help me via the program with placement for internship hours that are required by OR as part of the program and will allow me to do extra hours as to not have to pay a supervisor as much for the remainder of additional hours. I would like to avoid my transcripts looking like I did a ton of stuff from random sites and transferred it in when I submit for acceptance to the masters program.

I also would want to address my ability to write papers and do math at a university level so that when I went into the masters program I was not having extensive difficulty writing well formed papers. Many of my credits are from when I was 18-22 so that information has not been used in a while as none of it applies to any of my work since besides some math as needed.

Thank you for any advice! I am just starting to really dig into what my plan is with this but want to get started soon.
