Online engineering degrees?

[dfrecore]

If he just wanted a degree, until he was able to get that ME degree, he could get something like a BALS or BSBA for fairly cheap. At least then, he'd be pretty far along in his quest for a ME degree. Most schools, when it's a 2nd degree, will accept the BA/BS for a block transfer, and all that will be left for him is the prerequisite & core/AOS courses. Not that those aren't a lot, but at least he'll be halfway through, with a bachelor's degree, which may help him check that box for now.

While he's doing that, he can make sure to get a lot of the requirements for a ME degree done through as much online courses/exams as possible. He can look at the requirements for a ME degree at whatever school he wants, and then try to complete as many requirements as possible within a BALS/BSBA. Looking at my local private university here, that would be Calc I, II & III, Stats, Physics I & II w/Lab, and Chem I w/Lab, Computer Programming, Macroecon, Microecon, Speech, Ethics. Obviously, it will vary at different schools. But, those could all easily be worked into a BALS or BSBA.

Just a thought. Kind of out of the box. It gets him a degree, and gets him a head start on the ME degree. Kind of an interim step along the way. If life gets in the way, at least he has that 4-yr degree.
