Need Degree Advice and Plan

Then follow up with an UMPI BLS.  Any suggestions.

If you do the AS Electronics Engineering, then you may as well do the bachelor's at TESU since you wouldn't really save much time or money with UMPI from that point.

I don't see how the OP ends up with enough technical field credits (40 is the minimum required) for the UMPI BAS with any of the suggested paths listed in this thread.

I feel like people are having you jump through crazy hoops for no reason. You don't need additional AA/AS/AAS degrees. You just need a bachelor's degree, since that will be what your company is looking for. No company wants additional associates degrees. They just don't.

So, you need to decide if they want some specific degree, or if they want a check-the-box degree, or if you can get whatever you want like a BABA.

You best bet is going to be a UMPI BLS with a concentration in whatever - Management is as good as anything. It will be the cheapest, and probably the fastest. Since you don't have a ton of usable credits (even a lot of your Gen Eds won't be applicable to UMPI's GEC), a BABA is also a very good option.

Here's what you have covered:
1A - COMP 1 (ENC 1101 English Comp 1)
1D - PRE-COMP 1 (ENC 1100 Intro/English Comp)
2D - HANDS-ON ART (ART 1300C Drawing)
3A - MATH (MAT 1033 Intermediate Algebra)
4D - PHYSICAL SCIENCE (PSC 1515 Energy/Nat Environ)
FREE ELECTIVES - FILLED

Just follow the wiki to fill the remaining requirements with Sophia and then do the final 30cr at UMPI (this will include the minor, and you can double-minor if you want)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next choice is TESU's BALS or BSBA, if you don't want a CBE degree.

For TESU's BALS, you need:
English Comp II
Oral Comm
Diversity
Ethics
Civic Engagement
History
Science/CompSci
15cr of UL in Liberal Arts

You can use the wiki to find what you need. Most can come from Sophia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last choice is EU's BLS or BSB, if you don't want a CBE degree.

I'm not sure that a BLS/BALS is the best choice here. If you want to maybe eventually move into management (or higher management positions) a Business degree is going to be what most companies are looking for. It will also lead naturally into an MBA, if you decide to pursue that route.

A BLS/BALS may be slightly faster, though, if speed is the only thing you care about.

Hmm, yeah, I mentioned to work on the BLS in post #5... before I added the Associates, that's because it seems OP really wanted an Associates... I would review what you're looking for and what options have been presented to you. Also take into account your energy, money, time, and overall ROI/Value in what you're looking for, if the Associates is an additional item you want, and it doesn't take up too much energy, money, time, then go for it... else, skip it as you don't need it for entry into the Bachelors. I think a better mix/match of cert, degree, experience would be ideal...

Are you planning to move into more technical positions like engineering or into managment? If management, then a business degree would seem to be your best move. For technical degrees, computer science or software development is fairly easy to do by the methods here, but other types of engineering (for example electrical engineering) are much less so.

If there are better jobs that you already would be hired for, except for the lack of a degree, then a liberal studies/arts degree would be the absolute easiest and quickest...but business can be nearly as fast and easy, if you have experience and aptitude for that subject.
