Getting a Bachelors Degree in one year might seem impossible, but it is not. There are some key factors that will help you complete your degree in one year.
Follow these steps to get your college degree in one year:
STEP 1
First you need to speak with the academics office and complete life experience forms; the college will require some evidence that you actually have life experience from work or your own life to get credits for certain courses. Myself, I have a computer networking background and was able to get credit for a networking course. That saved me $1200 due to the fact that I did not have to take the course.
STEP 2
CLEP the 100 level classes to save time as well, the tests are moderately difficult and does cost money, but nowhere near as much as an entire course. If you have a military background, transferring credits from your military life experience can be done through a program called Smart Transcript.
STEP 3
If you also completed certifications, they sometimes can be used to gain college credits, but you need a solid foundation on the topic and need to prove that you use the subject daily.
STEP 4
Have a plan and follow it. Map out a timeline of when you will complete your college degree based on the remaining courses in your program.
