I have 86 college credits, an AS in Nursing, an RN license, and 25 yrs exp, how can I get a BS degree fast?

We Answered:

You need to do what every other nurse with an AS degree needs to do, find a BSN completion program.

Generally, work experience will not play a role in most school's programs. You might find a way to earn one or two courses worth of credits, but don't expect much.

Each school has their own requirements for earning the BSN, but generally you will need 30-40 credits in nursing and usually need 120 credits total (incl. your transferred credits from your AS) to earn the BSN. You may or may not need other general education courses depending on what you have already taken and how they transfer to whatever school you choose.

Most people can complete their BSN in 2 years. You can even find an online program at many local state schools (please stay away from Uni. of Phoenix - a for-profit school that will utterly rape you of funds). Also, you should know that the BSN completion programs are no where near as demanding as the initial RN licensure program. The content is not as hard, grading is based more on written work and discussions rather than formal exams, etc. So it's definitely do-able if you're working and have a family, etc.

Just start searching the schools in your area, as I said, start with the local state colleges and universities and find their requirements. Good luck!

How to get a law degree fast? I'm in CA. Do I need one BA or two BA? BA in what area helps?

We Answered:

One BA is plenty; it helps to have one in Criminal Justice or a like field. Even still, the BA takes about 4 years and the JD can take up to 4, so it all depends on your definition of "fast"...

how to get a 4 year degree fast?

We Answered:

No accredited school is going to grant you a 4-year degree in less than 3 years, much less 6 months. If you find one that claims they will, it's just a scam. You need 4 years worth of college credits - usually works out to about 120 - to earn a bachelors degree. And you can't do that in 6 months, or even 24 months - even Harvard students still take 4 years to graduate.

How to get bachelors degree fast?

We Answered:

You will have to go to a university, but you can graduate in 2-3 years by taking summer classes, taking a heavier than average course load (18+ credits per semester), and CLEPing out of classes if your university allows it.

You might also want to check out some online universities, since I think some specialize in fast degrees. However, you need to be absolutely sure it is accredited! Quadruple check if you have to, you do not want to waste your time and money on a scam!


Good luck! :)
