I have checked out the following: Capella, PUG, SNHU
Your Location: Florida, USA
Your Age: 17
What kind of degree do you want?: Associate’s or Bachelor’s
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 1 from ASU UL (was trying for Pierpont BOG AAS but they did not do anything timely so here we are)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 45 ACE credits from Sophia
Any certifications or military experience?: No
Budget: Open
Commitments: None
Dedicated time to study: Unlimited
Timeline: As fast as possible
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: NA, have FL Prepaid but will save that for further education most likely
Looking for the quickest, prefer CBE based on writing and presentations rather than proctored exams if at all possible. Very open to choice of school, honestly looking for the absolute quickest way to level up.
Thanks in advance and I am sure I am forgetting something!
I just wanted to add a cautionary note on getting the degree quickly for younger students unless the student has a very singular focus. I have an 18 year old son who accelerated using ASU. He is currently a junior in terms of credits but we have slowed way down because it is really important to get internships in this tough job market. If you complete the degree too quickly, then you are no longer eligible for internships since you must be a returning student upon completion of the internships. Internships are a great way for students to try out a few different types of jobs and discover what they like. Unfortunately, just having a degree without any experience is not competitive in today's market.
