You do have another option for a way to get your degree done faster. See if a local university or college near you offers an accelerated bachelors degree program for adults. These are often offered at the smaller, private schools, and in my area, they're at the Catholic colleges, like Nyack, St. Peter's, Mercy and Dominican. These programs are reputable, and they are designed to get you through as quickly as possible. For example, they'll shorten the semester, to allow you to pack in as many credit hours in a year as possible, and they don't give breaks - you go year round, so you get out faster. You could graduate in two years, or less if you have transfer credits. The usual majors offered through such programs are those in the business field, so you may find finance and IT, if you look.

So my preference is that you try to find an accelerated bachelors degree program at a small, private college near you. One that is appropriately accredited, and reputable. If none of those exist, then you can consider Devry, but only major in a tech field, and go in knowing that some - not all, but some - employers won't be loving that you went there.

Do employers honor degrees from University of Phoenix and Devry like a degree from atraditional college?

DeVry has several very good degrees. The BSEET is ABET-accredited (very important in Engineering Technology), and is offered year round so that the BSEET can be earned in three years. Other DeVry degrees - eg the MBA - are substandard. DeVry hurt its credibility a few years ago by changing its name from "DeVry Institute/College" to "DeVry University". DeVry is nowhere near being a real university.
