> Now you and I know this is pretty much just a sheet of paper, but what's the cheapest/easiest way for someone who already has professional accomplishments to get that sheet of paper?

degreeforum.net exists to answer this question. Their answer is ~ credit by examination, prior learning assessment and transfer of credit to Excelsior, Charter Oak or TESU.

WGU might be that. it can be incredibly cheap (compared to your average bachelors degree) if completed quickly and I believe it's regionally accredited, so I imagine it qualifies you.

Now what a hiring manager will think of it is debatable.

I'm reading in admission requeriments "Students must demonstrate math readiness through successful and verifiable completion of a pre-calculus, calculus, or higher-than-calculus math course from an accredited post-secondary academic institution or WGU-approved third-party provider." Do you know where to make those coures online ?

Possibly https://www.edx.org/course/precalculus - it's supposed to be "credit-eligible".

You would probably need to check to make sure it counts.

WGU only admits people already living in the United States. I'm not sure if it has a citizenship or residency requirement.
