Seeking Feedback on Career Transition: From Firefighter to Remote Work/Digital Nomad

[DragonDF]

Hello DF's members,

I am thinking about asking about the University of the People so you can bring me more experience.

But before I searched the internet and other old posts here, people talked about this National accreditand University. 

It's an Israeli University, right?

The "main campus" of the university is a facility in Pasadena, California.[22]
University of the People Education Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary[23] which provides support services to the institution.[24] The subsidiary is registered with the Israeli Corporations Authority[25] and maintains an office in Tel Aviv, Israel.[26

Accreditation:

After thinking about it these last few days and realizing that even using some acceleration strategies, I would have to pay for several credits and be forced to participate in subjects that I taught. It's not very interesting.
The undergraduate course in Computer Science lasts 4 years and even if I hacked it, I would lose at least 6 months to 12 years of my life searching for credits.
I already have several degrees. I have a focus in the market and how companies will look at my Résumé. 

The Master's course in Computer Science is shorter, around 12 months, and allows me to transfer 50% of the credits, making it a 6-month course and half the price.

I could still try to finish it in 3 months so that I would have a degree in the United States at a higher level than the undergraduate degree in the IT area.

I would like to know about other cheaper options for Master's in Computer Science or Master's in Data Analysis that allow international students and be ONLINE. I'll need to take 50% of the credits yet.

[url=https://www.uopeople.edu/programs/online-masters/information-technology/#xcollapse5][color=rgba(18, 18, 18, 0.8)]Yes. Students pursuing a Master’s degree can transfer up to 18 credits (equal to 50% of the program requirement) from another accredited institution toward their UoPeople degree.

I saw that there is a National College Credit website (link: https://www.nationalccrs.org/course-credit-directory) with several members.

Were there other American Universities similar to UoP? National or Regional Accredited?
