You can take as many classes as you can handle, but even better, you can do challenge exams for any course material that you're already familiar with and get credit for it. Both schools are accredited by the same accrediting body that does Harvard, Princeton, etc., so no worries there. Both schools will also take unlimited credits from other schools, so you can transfer in groups of credits you've taken at other places and assemble what you need to graduate. If you already have the knowledge that one would get from a typical 4 year college education and can prove it through testing and challenge exams, it's actually possible to earn an accredited degree in under 6 months.

I've had a strong interest in distance learning for a long time, and am involved with the website www.degreeinfo.com, which is the largest distance learning discussion site on the web. You'll find an insane amount of helpful tips in the message archive, and a bunch of useful articles.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
