I know a lot of folks are like me and probably had to get their education mostly from experience due to the Watchtower's stand on education. I wanted to share some things I found which were helpful to me, and might also be to others thinking of going back. This all refers to distance education, as I travel a great deal and don't have time to go to a regular college.
Excelsior College (run by the New York Board of Regents), has a special system set up where you can "Credit bank" previous experience, credits taken from other colleges, corporate training, etc towards a degree. Its technically possible to test out of an entire degree at Excelsior. www.excelsior.edu
Western Governor's University (www.wgu.edu) is somewhat similar to excelsior, in that they use a lot of work experience, certifications, and testing-out, as well as taking classes locally.
Ashworth College (www.ashworthcollege.com) offers two-year and masters degrees. They are cheap, cheap as many local community collges, however they are not liberal about tranferring credit. They offer their own payment plans on tuition, which works out to something like $35/month over 25 weeks for each semester. Works out to about $58/credit hour if you have no transferred class credit.
http://BAIN4WEEKS.COM is one person's guide on how to get a degree from either Excelsior College, Charter Oak State, or Thomas Edison) via testing out. He says it can be done in four weeks. I don't necessarily doubt it, but I wasn't going to try!
Anyway it's a hassle starting college when you are already past the traditional college years, and I know a lot of xjws are thinking about it, or already doing it, so I thought I would pass this information along. You probably already know most of what's in the degree, learning the hard way, so this is a way to complete the process and get soem recognition. The colleges I listed are not "diploma mills", (places that basially sell illegal degrees), they are accredited institutions.
If you have any information like this, pass it on.
