Anyone running into the problem of College taking a stupid amount of time to finish, having to take a bunch of bullshit Humanities courses unrelated to your STEM major? And now with all the corona bullshit and the completely online classes we have to take (which are absolute dogshit), it seems completely pointless to go the traditional college route.
There are countless fully online options out there with more flexibility. Excelsior, Thomas Edison State, etc. will let you fulfill degree requirements with credit by examination such as CLEP, DSST, and IB, as well as their own tests.
Theoretically, you can finish a bachelors in a year or two depending on how motivated you are.
You won't have to sit through a semester of learning Black People Heritage or whatever the fuck, just take a CLEP exam on Diversity Studies that takes less than a week to study for and be done with it.
Another problem though is that you probably wont find an online degree program for a high-level STEM area. However, once you do have a BS in whatever area, you could jump into a Masters which can lead into a PHD in any area you want anyway.
Look this stuff up, no need to wreck yourself, there are always other ways around bullshit.
Anyone got their degree completely online or tested out of most of it?
