Can you give yourself a degree?
You can. Using the “degree-by-examination” approach, you can earn a bachelor's degree by taking tests instead of classes. It works no matter where you live, lets you graduate in one year instead of four, and costs roughly 1/20th the price of a regular degree…with the exact same legitimacy and earning power.
