What is my shortest route to getting a BS in anything?


I have 100 units, most are general education and upper division for the nursing program I was trying to get into. I need a degree FAST, which is the shortest route to getting one, and in what?

Yes, beside getting a phony degree the nyou must do the work.

Takes courses online and on-ground at the same time. I went to Univeristy of Phoenix. It has a great program where you can complete one class in 6 weeks, then another class the next 6 consecutive weeks. There is no summer, spring break or any or those sort but you will finish your degree fast WHILE you work at full time job. The 6 weeks let you concentrate on one course at a time but if you need a break you can delay taking the next class and wait for the next cycle- once a year.
Good luck!

Buying a phony one from a degree mill. Sorry don't the names address or emails of any.

You really don't give enough details of the credits you have so that you'll get a best answer, but look in your school's catalog to see which credits apply to other majors offered by your school. Two possibilities are teaching and biology. You'll probably have to take extra hours to make up the core courses. Some degrees you might qualify for are in a related medical field, like med transcriptionist, lab tech, etc. Several of your courses will not apply, except as electives, but that still counts toward a degree. Good luck.

Check out various colleges and look at the unit requirements for various degrees. Probably the fastest degrees to get would be humanities or liberal arts degress, but you need to look from college to college. If you need a BS, a BS in psychology would probably be easiest and fast. Heres an example: I went to a UC, and my BA in sociology requires 16 4 unit courses *(on a quarter system), and BA in religious studies 12 (in addition to GE reqs). At most UCs, the typical quarter course load is 4 classes; but, you can take more. So if you took a heavy course load you could finish in less than a year if your GE reqs match. A psych major might take you a year and a half.


So, look at various distance learning and college programs and see which college 1) has GE reqs that match the units you already have so you don't need to bother with more GE classes 2) has a major you can stand, and 3) has majors that take a short time relative to other colleges (all colleges have different unit reqs; find the one with the least)
