I concur Mr. Basket Weaver! How in the world did you do it???

I have been at the degree "since" the end of July and my plan is to be done by the end of November. Yes, I am steamrolling through the degree and am getting good scores as well; I'm on track to graduate with honors. I credit Shotojuku with turning me on to the school as he attended/graduated with his MS Psychology degree with CCU.
Before anyone thinks less of the degree, let it be known I am working my "you know what" off. I am retiring from the military in November and this is a self-imposed deadline I have set...plus it's good for me to have a challenge to overcome. On average, I'm spending 12 hours a day working on this and everything else is pretty much on hold. I believe it is a good investment though as my resume will definitely be beefed up with the addition of the MBA in HRM.
The degree is through California Coast University. You can take as long, or as little, time to complete the courses...the caveat is that even though you finish you degree in record time, they will not award it to you sooner than 9 months. I will have to wait until the end of March to receive it, but just knowing it is done will be a relief.
A course consists of 4 unit exams, 3 essays, and a final. The tests are very challenging and I usually end up reading the textbook several times before I am finished. I was able to get 10 out of 13 books off of Amazon, used, for $140.00 (total!); the rest I rented from CCU for 3 months at $25 a book.
All in all, I would recommend the school to anyone. The student care is top notch with a constant stream of letters of congratulation for each step completed. The pinnacle of the program is receiving a diploma that actually looks respectable (yes, yet another EC diploma dig
).
Three more and I'm done!
