Welcome to the board, you're selectively leaving out important info such as your age, state, etc. It seems you're interested in a Christian based education because Liberty was mentioned. Have you checked out other institutions besides them? I usually recommend having a short list created of possible ones you're into and a couple as backup options. Note: For most degrees, if not all, you're mainly able to transfer in the general education and electives as the major is where you complete at the institution you intend to finish at.

Welcome to the board, you're selectively leaving out important info such as your age, state, etc.  It seems you're interested in a Christian based education because Liberty was mentioned.  Have you checked out other institutions besides them?  I usually recommend having a short list created of possible ones you're into and a couple as backup options.  Note: For most degrees, if not all, you're mainly able to transfer in the general education and electives as the major is where you complete at the institution you intend to finish at.

I am 23
Sorry for my delayed response. I guess I will be a little more thorough. The school does matter, as long as I am able to get my civil engineering degree online. I've checked out many different online universities and only a few you are able to do civil engineering online that being bradley uni, UND. I think Liberty is the optimal choice considering that they accept sophia, straighterline, study.com etc... and other ACE credits. I do believe I finished my gen ed, just wanted to know if I could get an in-depth degree plan concerning the degree outline listed on Liberty University for BSCE.

Completing in one year is nowhere near possible. It will probably exceed two years and you shouldn’t be surprised if it reaches three.

From the Liberty catalog, the requirements for the online BS in Civil Engineering.

There’s materially nothing within the major you don’t have already that you could complete with any alt-credit provider like Sophia or Study. They might or might not accept Technical Writing from DSST or Study toward Technical Communication. University Physics I and II in a bachelor’s in engineering in calculus-based, as opposed to the alt-credit physics courses which are algebra-based.

A few courses you might find from a school with a lower cost than Liberty, especially a community college. Look first at your state where you’ll have in-state tuition rates. For things like advanced calculus and differential equations and calculus-based physics you might also look into Allen County Community College, Barton College, and Oakton College.

The major is 15 semester hours Major Foundational + 65 Major Core + 6 Major Elective + 14 Quantitative Studies. That’s 100 semester hours, almost all of it coursework you can’t much accelerate. Many courses will have prerequisite structures meaning that you’ll have to take one before another.

There are two intensive lab courses which will take multi-day visits to the Liberty campus.

[bjcheung77]

That's correct, you've got a limited number of general education and electives, plus a bit of the major you can transfer in, the rest are hard to come by unless you're taking it from a community college or another institution that has a transfer agreement with Liberty. I would apply to Liberty and transfer all you currently have and see what is remaining. If you can get all of the Math/Sciences from cheaper sources like your local CC, do them first...

Here is a Liberty University degree plan that will help you with the General Education requirements.

Equivalency lists

Sophia

Study.com
https://study.com/college/school/liberty...rsity.html

StraighterLine
https://www.straighterline.com/colleges/...ty-online/

It looks like Liberty University won't take Sophia's Calculus so you need to go to StraighterLine for Calculus I & II. (MATH-131, MATH-132)

Sophia does offer 15% tution discount with Liberty University.

In addition to that, create a spreadsheet of the requirements and cross reference what you currently have, plus any extras that can come in through the recommended ACE providers such as Coursera, Sophia.org, Study.com, etc. Once you have your spreadsheet, you'll know what is remaining and try to transfer the max you can, all other classes would need to be done from Liberty or transferred in from RA sources.
