Hey dashdriver....
If you're a Phoenix resident, you might want to look into Rio Salado college online. You'll get the Maricopa County resident pricing. I believe it's like $65 per credit.
Granted, they are a CC, so they only do Associates, but they have a program where you can transfer the credits to another Maricopa College toward a BA and not loose a single credit. (Talk to the advisors for the specifics).
The cool thing is that they offer in class, class & online; as well as online only classes. Most of the online classes start every few weeks or so (No need to wait for the next semester).
The only reason I know anything about them is because when I worked for Cox Communications, I earned 13 credits for simply training for my position.
At the very least, it's food for thought.
One more "Option" you may eventually look into is the CLEP. (Sounds like something you pick up from that sleezy F/A :laff
Basically, CLEP is a program where you study a particullar topic at your own pace, and when you feel confident in the subject matter you go to one of many colleges, take a simple computerised test, and presto, you have college credit for that course. Many colleges accept CLEP credit toward you degree, others only accept certain exams only. But if you do enroll in a regular school, this option may help speed the degree, at least a little bit. Heck, even some online schooles accept CLEP credit.
So... a Dash Pilot, out of Phoenix huh?
Mesa, Great Lakes or someone else?
