Re. BA plan options:
Question:
Which one of these will be quickest and easiest, for me?
I'm assuming so far that the BA options I'm deciding between above are listed in order of expected time/effort, lower to higher. I also assume it's subjective: relative to my background, existing knowledge and interests.
Context:
Ed. background: I don't have many RA/transfer credits on my TESU launch pad, and I'm not sure how many I'll get from Navy training, yet. That transfer credit intake and evaluation process should complete soon. Hopefully next week (mid Oct).
Personal/professional interests and personality:
I've long identified myself as a humanities and creative/artist type, very broadly. I used to read A LOT of literary fiction. Pretty much the entire American literary canon. Just from personal interest. At one point I wanted to be a writer/journalist. Translating that to a career in Silicon Valley, where I grew up, meant taking tech writing courses. But I soon switched to Graphic Design, in a trade/career school (not RA sadly), for career development. Timing was good as the web took off in the late 90s and I've been 100% all around web development guy ever since. Humanizing technology. Subjects I most naturally gravitate to are history, philosophy and mythology. Psychology is really an extension of that, and it crosses over in to my career in human factors/usability for web/software design, too. I do a lot of user interviews and other kinds of user research, professionally. I hope this adds context for your input about which program/plan of those above are most likely help me achieve my BA goal with least/time effort.
___
Location: SF Bay Area
Age: GenX (old!)
Degree goal: BA LS. I think I’d like psychology concentration. But fastest=best so either way.
Current RA Credits: ~10? (Intake ongoing, no eval yet.)
Current ACE/CLEP/NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: Navy. 80’s. OTA3 (anti-submarine). No ACE certs. Two non-ACE:
- Human Factors International, Certified Usability Analyst.
- Norman Neilson Group (NN/g), Ux Management Certified.
Budget: ~8k?
Timeframe: 1 year!
Dedicated time to study: About 15 hours/week max. (TBD if all above jibes or it may take longer but this is my firm target.)
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No external support yet. Private funds.

Which school do you think is the best for competency based program? |

Hello, everyone!
I looked at the schools on the list of competency based programs at the wiki (https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Co...d_Programs).
Now I'm considering transferring my AS to either of three universities:
- University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
- B.S. in Information Science and Technology (UW Flex Option)- $2,250 / 12 weeks
- Purdue University Global
- ExcelTrack® Bachelor of Science in Cloud Computing and Solutions- $2,500 / 10 weeks
- University of Massachusetts Global
- B.S. in Information Technology-Data Science (MyPath)- $3,300 / 24 weeks
UMass Global's cost is really attractive, but I couldn't get enough reviews and opinions about the university or the program. Also, I'm not sure whether these programs require proctored exams. It wouldn't be a serious problem, but still, I'm uncomfortable with a cam or person proctoring.
Does anyone know these programs or universities? And what do you think? I need opinions.

Free Spanish language college degrees UNAM SUAYED |

I am sharing yet another post featuring a Mexican public university offering online college degrees. The UNAM is a highly prestigious university that is famous for its practically free in person degrees (students only pay 1 penny as a symbolic payment).
Their online university has been operating for quite a few years and has increased popularity after expanding their degree offerings. Unlike the other schools, this one is 100% free (at least for Mexican citizens).
The cons however are that tons of people try to sign up (slots are limited), sign ups are only once a year, you cannot accelerate the degrees at all and people have complained that their Comp Science degree has some outdated information and the workload and essays absorb huge amounts of time, which makes it a difficult option for people working full time. People have also mentioned there are obligatory synchronized classes in varying schedules.
Some degrees are offered on specific regional branches. Applicants are encouraged to ask for more info because some degrees demand students to physically travel to the school's branch for exams. I am not sure if they do proctored online exams, might have to ask around.
Bachelor degrees:
Administration of documents (archieving degree?)
Accounting
Library technology and information studies
Communications (Journalism focus)
Political Science (Administrative focus)
Political Science (Politics focus)
Business administration
Law
Graphics design
Economy
Nursing (I assume part of the degree forcibly requires rotations in mexican hospitals)
Teaching German as a foreign language
Teaching French as a foreign langage
Teaching Spanish as a foreign language
Teaching English as a foreign language
Teaching Italian as a foreign language
Education
Psychology
Internaional Relations
Sociology
Social work
Masters degrees
Teaching Spanish as a foreign language
Dental hygenist specialization

Has anyone done PLAR credit? |

I know the acceptance of courses/certifications/experience varies per institution, but if anyone has gone through this process, I'd like to know how it went for them.
I feel this avenue should be more well-known as you are not always required to do a knowledge exam. Depending on the institution, just submitting your education/experience itself can be enough.
