    It would be difficult but it is possible providing you are willing to take extra credit loads and you are talking about a literal year going without vacations, not a normal school year.

    I would say it is possible but depending on your schedule somewhat unlikely. I think most require at least 60 credit hours to graduate and most classes are about 3 credit hours. So you would have to take 20 classes in the year. Thats a lot, I'm sure not impossible for some but if you have to work it would be tough.

    If you are looking at a degree program that promises that, be very careful and do your research...make sure they have some type of accreditation.

    Yes, depending on what degree you are after. Some work experiences and a minor test passing to "test out" of certain classes will grant you credits towards a AS or AAS degree at any acredited college. Otherwise 62 - 68 credits would be tuff to handle in a year. Hope this helps...

    Unlikely. You need something like 60 or so credits to get an associates degree. Even if you go full time for a year, you will not be able to squeeze in 60 plus credits.
