starting the thread with one, figured this board would be an apt venue to ask

quickest route to a bachelors degree?

i'd imagine what with CLEP and CC you could acquire one in three semesters or so. to any of you with relevant experience or methods heard repeated please chime in

>quickest route to a bachelors degree?

Depends heavily on the course.

What do you want to study?

Physics

I would take a step back even farther. Why get a bachelors in the first place? What are your ultimate goals, OP?

The first step is to realize that you never needed a bachelor's degree

Okay, sorry for the late reply.

I study physics myself and I can tell you that trying to find the shortest route is not the right way to go.

You CAN do it, but it'll be insanley hard and more likley than not will cause problems down the line, if you didn't understand something properly.

The only shortcut that could be done within reason, would be the first two terms in one go. In most universities those include theoretical mechanics and theoretical Larange mechanis.

While one builds up on the other to a certain degree, both can be done at the same time since the prerequisities for them are neglible.

After that though, you most likley will get problems.

Electrodynamics builds heavily on Lagrange mechanics, so without having those properly understood, you won't understand electrodynamics.

Quantummechanis builds heavily on knowledge and especially mathematical methods of electrodynamics.

And thermodynamics needs everything afromentioned and possibly some little more to be really understood.

You can do shortcuts with the experimental subject, like optics, experimental elctrodynamics and so on, since most of the time you won't need any more knowledge than what you know from school for them.

Some universities also have courses for mathematics for physics, some three terms long, and building progressivley upon each other.

Shortcuts not really possible.

Five terms for a bachlors degree in physics is realistic, although the first term mighrt be hard.

Trying to do it faster will most likley screw you along the way, since trying to understand for example quantummechanics without having knowledge of say what the delta-dirac equation is, will lead to problems.

Physics is one of those subject where it's better to do it properly once, instead of trying to get it done as fast as possible, and get screwed along the way.
