Scams
Unfortunately, for every legitimate accelerated college program, there is a fraudulent one. The internet is riddled with ads that promise a degree in simply days. Sound too good to be true? It is. These sites do not hold the proper accreditation, and your degree will likely not be worth the paper it is printed on. Be certain to double check accreditation and the university. Many websites will closely mirror a legitimate university and will have false accreditation. If you are uncertain, it is best to contact one of the regional accreditation agencies.
Testing Out of Classes
There are legitimate ways to earn your degree at a faster pace. One of the more common ways is by taking the DANTE or CLEP tests. These tests are for those that have practical work experience or previous collegiate experience in a particular subject that didn’t transfer into the current program. If you pass the test, you will not have to take the specific courses related to that subject. Some colleges will also give you credit towards your degree.
Accelerated Programs
More and more universities are offering online programs. These, by their general nature, are accelerated because they typically do not follow a traditional academic schedule. Rather than 12-16 week semesters, academic periods are just 6-8 weeks long with no break in between. This allows for students to take more classes each academic year. Some accelerated programs allow you to earn your degree in half the time as a traditional program.
Summary
There are many legitimate ways to earn your degree fast. Be certain to do your research about the program and institution you are interested in, however. This can save you a lot of money in the long run.
