At this point, I'm feeling the urge to start rushing being so close, but don't want to screw up my GPA (4.0 so far). Self-paced classes are appealing as they can be completed in the same time, generally, as test prep, give you more grading opportunities and probably less of a surprise on a final exam.

In particular, I'm wondering if anyone can offer suggestions for classes that are completely online (or possibly CD-ROM), self-paced and graded. Of course, I'm only looking for regionally accredited courses that would be accepted by Excelsior.

If you have suggestions, could you provide information as to those details along with the level, number of credits, and whether the exams are proctored or not. I'm sure others would be interested in this as well.

For example, are the BYU classes self-paced?

Thanks in advance.

There's also Indiana University. Their BGS degree is 30 years old. (They must have been designing it for me when I was 19 and left school back then, lol)

They have a lot of online and "correspsondence courses", (you can still submit assignments online, check grades etc...)

Their overall prices are not too different from BYU, I think. There are book/material costs for some if they not are not online courses.
