I technically did... But I had prior experience to my college degrees. Also blew through 6 years of degree in 3.5. Turns out college is piss easy if you already have the real world experience.
How did you do that? Did you take more than 5 courses per semester or did you challenge a bunch of exams?
18-24 credit hour semesters... and summer courses when available.
Since I knew virtually most of the program going in, course load in general was stupidly easy to manage. But I would not recommend it unless you really know the material/subject matter.
Edit: there was heavy incentive... GI bill pays for 4 years of schooling. I have a few months left of that 4 year period left of my GI bill... But if I didn't take everything accelerated, I couldn't get the masters. So I just went full ham on the curriculum.
