Fastest to complete - Excelsior which degree
#8
Be careful, your bachelors degree will have an impact on what graduate programs you can get into. For example, UMBC (an honors + research university) won't accept a B.A. for entry into a graduate science program. If you "can" get admitted you will be required to take the prerequisite undergrad classes. That's just one example, but I know that many programs are like this. If you do school first and then decide what you want to do with your career, you could end up having to do undergrad twice! At least partially.

I'd suggest figuring out what you want to do, at least generally, and then applying yourself accordingly. Save yourself the time, money and frustration and just do it write the first time.

Defiantly get started on your general education requirements, as others have said, as soon as you can. Knocking out that 40-50 credits really helps to get you on the ground and running fast.

Best of luck!

Cert. Information & Network Security - UMBC Training Centers (June/2010)
A.A. Information Technology - Programming (May/2010)
