What schools did you get these AA degrees? And any online school recommendations? Asking for a friend. Thanks for sharing it’s very motivating.

Thanks for the comment!

@@jayisdreaming Degrees earned at Clackamas Community College in 1973/4 AA-Art, AA Arts and Letters, AS Criminal Justice Administration, AS Law Enforcement. Note Law Enforcement is Practical/vocational, and Criminal Justice Admin is Academic.

If you have credits already, the school may accept a lot of those. Then you shouldn't take as long to graduate. You only pay for the amount of time it takes to finish.

Fastest I've seen is about 4 to 5 months for full Bachelor's Degrees at U Mass Global. But it totally depends on the student, and situation.

Here's a video where I walk through the process for International Students.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btSEkpWjt5u4nKc.html

The cost of tuition should be similar. I'm not sure about the administrative fees. It might be a little different, but nothing substantial. I've helped students go through U Mass Global in under 6 months. But it totally depends on the student. I've helped students earn Bachelor's Degrees in 3 months, and others take as long as 18 months. There are a number of factors involved. The "Norm" is 6 to 12 months for Bachelor's Degrees.

@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 si you believe that in 3-6 months i cab finish that degree?

So frustrating to have so much experience and still need a degree. You shouldn't need one with your experience! But... sometimes you have to deal with the system. Shoot me an email and I can help you save a lot of time.. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)

Are you a foreign national or have gained at least 1 year of college level credits? If so then present your work history and validation of one year of college credit from a foreign academic institution. For every 3 years of progressive work history, you can validate 1 year of College Equivalency. If all 20 years are in the same field and it was progressive, the Foreign Credential Evaluation Service could consider you have the equivalency of a US Accredited College Degree and you will bypass the necessity for a college Degree. Why? because you cannot be discriminated against for employment because the Immigration and Naturalization Service granted you an H1B Visa and therefore the Credential Evaluation Service evaluation stands as an Accredited award. You can use this evaluation for submission to gain a secondary degree, but it is up to the educational institution to accept the recommendation of the Evaluation Service. But you still have the equivalency, validated and recognized by the Immigration and Naturalization Service at that level to work in the United States. If the above is true for you, then you are bonified. Note the Federal Government Civil Service Administration no longer requires a College degree if you meet the "EQUIVALENCY" Criteria of progressive work experience. Here is some basic information: Here is what you need to validate an Associates Degree level for Federal Jobs: 1 year college level education and 3 years of work Experience. For 0 college, you need 5 years of progressive work experience in the same field of employment. For Bachelor equivalency: 0 education and 5 years work experience. For Masters equivalency: 0 years of Education and 13 years of progressive work experience. Why don't they tell American Citizens that these are the options available? If Foreign Nationals or American Students of Foreign Colleges were to apply for jobs with the federal government, and the above is TRUE, and no degree required! Well, it is all about the money and by not telling you the options available, they can get much more income from you, their student. It would save a lot of time and effort and MONEY if the average person knew of these options. Now if you were to gain your RECOGNIZED EQUIVALENCY via the first mode (primarily for foreign nationals/students at foreign colleges), or were a US National/Citizen and focused on the second format of years of experience, you could apply for Federal Civil Service Jobs. You can download info at: www.etsu.edu/human-resources/hiring/equivalences.php which explains it more Indepth. Who knows, this might be your best path. If you do either of the pathways, I suggest that you look into credit for work experience. I know that Liberty University awards credit for work and life experiences. Once entered on a Accredited college transcript and if you are awarded at least 30 semester hours, that is considered 1 year of college for the purpose of evaluation of equivalency. After you do this, then add Ryan's format to your Education tool chest, and not only will you earn a Degree, and not just the "Equivalency status," at an accelerated rate and lower cost. Respectfully,

I don't know of any "Hackable" food science majors. There are a few Health Science majors that can be accelerated.

The process is a little different. You'd likely focus on earning a portion of the degree through 3rd party, then finish as a traditional student online. But totally doable.

Thank you!!!

@@midnite1235 It's my pleasure. If you're serious about accelerating your degree shoot me an email. I can probably help you save a lot of time and money. (ryan@9monthgrad.com)

I almost always suggest skipping the Associate's and accelerating the Bachelor's. Associate's degrees don't mean much in most situations.

If you wanted to enter the Military, an associate degree will start you at an E3 for pay and status. If you have a bachelor's degree, you can enlist as an E4 for pay and status. It is called an accelerated Promotion. Many employers will hire you with an associate degree at mid-range management (Assistant Manager) or Supervisor. The value of an associate degree is that it is Higher than an undergraduate Certificate or Diploma. It also helps you to get a higher starting pay at many jobs.
