5 Fastest Online COMPUTER Degrees for Busy Adults

[@ShuGamingLLC]

University of Wisconsin has a competency-based bachelor's program on IT, but I don't see it getting a lot of coverage. Maybe you can do a video on that, would be very helpful to see another competency-based IT degree besides WGU } :

[@missdesireindependance5194]

You have to find out how much alternative credit they are willing to take and how many credits you have to take with the college.

[@CollegeHacked]

They have some awesome majors I haven’t seen in CBE form before, but they aren’t a hackable school unfortunately :(

[@malcolmjelani3588]

I did my bachelors at WGU in one term. Increase my salary by $40,000 in 6 months

[@CollegeHacked]

WOW 🤩👏🏼

[@TheDisBeat]

Can I ask what degree and field are you in?

[@TheSilentFool]

Honorable mention to Charter Oak State's "Information System Studies" degree which is technically a chipotle degree but with an IT sounding name on attached to it

[@soaringgrasslands3148]

whats a "chipotle degree"?

[@gerardohuidobro5811]

@@soaringgrasslands3148 a degree that is essentially easy to get and worthless in the job market. You get it only to be able to say "i have a bachelors" on your resume.

[@CollegeHacked]

Given that I was accepted to medical school with one of those “useless” degrees, I beg to differ. :) A chipotle degree can be useful in a number of contexts, but to define it-it’s a build your own major. You get to select the classes you include in the major section of your degree instead of having the school tell you what to take.

[@TheSilentFool]

@@gerardohuidobro5811 "I have a bachelors in information systems........ studies" could get you pretty far.

[@CollegeHacked]

@pandaangry1267 That is a narrow view of its utility, and while we don't agree, to each their own :) Though we do agree that no one should spend 4 years and $50k on almost any degree! Outliers like nursing excluded, of course.

[@BlumChoi]

Can you make one for cs only?

[@RichardinSA]

The WGU proctored exams are about the most annoying thing I’ve ever experienced. “I need to see your face hand, and computer screen all at once 😂”

[@datchicoivan9003]

One time I was taking a protered exam where you couldn’t get up or look down for too long I drank a bunch of water before so I had to go while looking str8 at the camera I filled one bottle then the second one ran out of bottles so I took the lost and pissed my pants all while looking at the camera

[@MysterSer333]

@@datchicoivan9003holy shitttt. They gone see my 🍆 🤣

[@zeynubshaikh]

That sounds like just about every online proctored exam 🙃

[@RabbiJesus]

Let’s branch out to start examining more schools. Online education has taking off and there are more players than ever now.

[@CollegeHacked]

Only certain schools are truly hackable :)

[@sarasara-yo9rf]

I've chosen not to pursue WGU because they only accepted 36 credits out of my 60, and I've heard from others that the proctored exams can be quite stressful.

[@malcolmjelani3588]

Wuss

[@sarasara-yo9rf]

🙂What do you mean Wuss,😂 It took me a year and a half to get 60 credits why should I settle for less! plus watch the videos about WGU's proctor exams they are very stressful! @@malcolmjelani3588

[@CollegeHacked]

That’s fair! Everyone has a different set of priorities and skills, so thankfully there are a number of hacking friendly schools :)

[@wcsdiaries]

What did you end up doing?

[@JDMorris81]

Thanks for this, I'm looking into hacking a CS degree and so far I'm comparing WGU, TESU, Franklin U and SNHU. I will be transferring in credits from my useless Criminal Justice degree so I can hopefully finish quickly by also using sites like Sophia. I'm also a veteran and qualify for reduced tuition at TESU, FU and SNHU. Would love to consult with you guys and weigh the options for my situation.

[@CollegeHacked]

Awesome! We would love to help :) Those are some solid options you’re choosing between. It mostly depends on what your priority is-learning, or the piece of paper. WGU will take the least amount of transfer credit but give you one of the better educations.

[@DarwinRodriguez-e6f]

Another point for WGU, It's been awarded CAE designation by the NSA for its B.S. In Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program.

[@CollegeHacked]

🥳🥳

[@Danadan_19]

I have zero work history, I have a diploma in Early Childhood Education from a college here in Canada. I’m looking to get into the computer science program or the bachelor of science in cybersecurity. Which courses should I take on Sophia and which online university would accept me. I need a university that accepts global students (I’m in canada)

[@CollegeHacked]

The answer to these questions based on your unique situation is what we cover in our consultations 😄 collegehacked.com

[@boredandhungryTV]

I’ve gone from 48 to 90 credit hours in 20 days. Thank you for all the help!

[@CollegeHacked]

Excellent 🤩🤩

[@missdesireindependance5194]

How long does it take you to pass an exam?

[@ChristopherSeaton-n5m]

Hi Cliff. I just came across your channel. Thanks for the info. I'm 53 and ready to finish my undergrad degree. I have a ton of credits from Brandman University and have my AA from Platt college. I'm having difficulty on choosing the online college that is best to finish my BA in business (while getting my HR certificates) and then find a college for my masters. Thanks for any pointers you might have.

[@CollegeHacked]

Check out UMPI and their YourPace Liberal Studies Management degree :) They have a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership too.

[@SupaMan2122]

Can you explain why WGU treats an associates like one year and still requires 90 credits to finish a degree?

[@CollegeHacked]

It’s because they don’t have free elective sections in their degrees, so the only transfer credit you get from an AA is generally going to be gen eds. Unless you happened to complete an AA that had the same classes WGU requires in the major you choose. I’ve seen that happen once or twice.

[@AntonioDejesus47]

When looking at the computer science program at wgu vs Thomas Edison which would be easier to complete? And does the Bachelor of Arts really make a difference compared to the sciences?

[@CollegeHacked]

Bachelor of Art vs. Science really doesn’t hold weight, don’t worry about that part :) WGU would be easier because it’s more streamlined and there will be bigger communities for support for WGU. But both are excellent options :)

[@BetterMedia]

I have a question. If an university accepts certifications lets say CompTIA Security+. Must i do the certification exam for my credits to be accepted or i can complete using platforms like Oreally which is ACE accredited and skip the certification exam? Thank you.

[@CollegeHacked]

Typically if the cert is built into the course, you just get credit for having it already. Like an assignment you’ve already completed :)

[@TooHonest4_You]

Computer based degrees are hard for me. I got my Bachelor’s and Masters in fields I’m passionate about. But Computer Science I tried so many times and flopped. I tell people don’t pick CS for money but do it for passion

[@CollegeHacked]

Very wise! Much like medicine or law-if you don’t do it for love, someday it’s going to become too much work. Still might 😜

[@TimTim__]

Is it possible to finish in 10 week-term in Purdue global?

[@CollegeHacked]

It’s technically possible, but very difficult.

[@TimTim__]

How much it would cost if I to do 25 credits with TESU and the rest I’ll be transferring in?

[@CollegeHacked]

Depends on how many credits you take at once. They have a block rate and a per credit hour rate.

[@sandamzastoicways]

So WGU doesn't accept international students?

[@CollegeHacked]

Correct :(

[@mohthonswam8673]

I am Researching for computer science degree. I am non us student. Between snhu, Thomas Edison and Purdue global. which one is the cheapest and which one is the better educational quality.

[@CollegeHacked]

Thomas Edison!

[@网吧三]

I have a small question. After watching the entire video, I realized that the core logic is to transfer credits to a university to graduate, right? For example, if I enroll in courses at Excelsior University and transfer my previous 116 credits there, and then I only need to complete 4 credits at the university, does that mean I only need to pay for 4 credits and after completing the courses, I can get a degree ：）

[@CollegeHacked]

That’s the idea! But each degree has specific requirements that need to be met. So while you might have 116 credits to transfer, probably not all of those will directly apply. That’s the game we play.

[@网吧三]

@@CollegeHacked Do you have any high school diplomas to recommend? It can be accelerated because I want to apply for European universities. Thank you 🙏

Are they ABET accredited and will employers take these universities serious?

[@gerardohuidobro5811]

Only wgu is abet accredited.

[@I_Lemaire]

@@gerardohuidobro5811 Excelsior is also ABET accredited for their Information Technology degree.

[@dr.feelgood2363]

@@gerardohuidobro5811 excelsior is also ABET accredited as far as I know

[@CollegeHacked]

Particularly in STEM situations, employers are rarely going to be picky about where your degree came from (other than the ABET distinction), it’s about what skills you can demonstrate. This is especially true for computer science jobs, where your interviews are largely coding challenges and/or creating a working project within parameters the employers provide.

[@RabbiJesus]

That’s not really a thing people care about in the real world. They care about skills and ability.

[@HannahRoss-s2g]

What is the best and quickest on-line course for graphic design?

[@CollegeHacked]

Best one we know of is the Graphic Design and Media Arts major at SNHU. Unfortunately you end up with at least 15 classes at SNHU in that major, as art and graphic design just aren’t supported topics on the hacking platforms at this time.
