How to earn an online college degree fast?


Question:
I would like to earn a college degree fast. I'm not able to go to a traditional school at this moment. I would like to know are there any schools that offer a quick degree?

Answer:
There are a lot of good, flexible distance degree programs offered by traditional colleges, and a few for-profit colleges such at University of Phoenix. Spend some time researching these. But I have to warn you... do *not* make speed your first criteria for choosing a degree program. You'll pay for it in the end. The fastest programs are often less reputable, and many online degrees (such as the one advertised in email spam) are completely worthless.

Contrary to popular belief, a college degree is *not* valuable primarily because of the piece of paper you get at the end. It's valuable primarily because you actually do get a substantial amount of training in four years of college, and employers tend to hire people and pay them better when they know they've come from a reputable program in their field. So while speed and convenience might be your second-most important factor, never let it take the place of quality. Employers do pay attention.
Yow will need to take the same number of courses to get a valid degree...but you can take as many as you can handle at one time.
There is no "quick degree." The number of credits you is predetermined. How many you take at one time is your choice.
Its completely possible to find accelerated degree programs from reputable online universities, but a lot of what you are asking depends on your definition of 'fast,' and what level of degree you want to earn (i.e vocational certificate, Associates degree, Bachelors, etc ...).

As an additional caveat make sure you establish the online school you chose is accredited -- if its not then any degree you would earn would be worthless. Usually online universities with dramatically shorter program lengths tend to be the shadier ones, and should draw suspicion.
