Places to park electronics + computer PLA credits (BOG AAS + TESU AAS)

[xicovu]

2 associate degrees don't equal a bachelor's degree.

I'm sure you've made a lot of degree plans and know what transfers where like the back of your hand, but outside of maybe BJ, ya'll are the ants from Bug's life. Zero ability for exception handling.

1. First, let's start with the Master's. There is one requirement and one requirement only. No GRE, no grades, no prior academic work. All you must do is succesfully complete one of the Engineering specialization on Coursera with 80% and you will be allowed into the program. If you have an Electronics Engineering degree's worth of knowledge they do not care where it came from.

2.  The work that will be used for the attempts at PLA is not optional. Whether I get 10 credits or 50 is also not relevant other than the let down. The certifcation and coursework I must do are pretty close to what an AS Electronics Engineering degree is.

Say I anticipate 40 PLA credits in Electronics/Electrical but only get 20.

BOG AAS is 12 RA credits + mix of ACE/NCCRS/Sophia or whatever the hell they take. 20 GE + 20 Electronics credit + Saylor Python, C++, Software Engineering, Networking rounds that out. +10 from TEEX.

AAS BOG is met. The ACE and some OD will go to TESU.

Having to submit PLA twice is actually the point. 

Same thing, I've got a stack of PLA portofilios from BOG. TESU gives me 20 as well, but it is a different 20 and includes 8 UL credit.

ACE/OD.com/Sophia etc cover all or most the AAS. Electronics and ACE electives pad out as much as possible. Then, the electives are Calculus 1,2 Physics, Chemistry.

Now I've got an AAS Applied Electronics worth of credit.

Say I'm sitting on 100 credit hours worth of credits between the two because of the overlap. Whether or not I put them some where ("park") doesn't change change that I have them, only that I've managed to take a huge pool of credits and find enough places to put ACE + NCCRS + PLA + RA

With the lot say I can only find somewhere to park 90 at most, guess what? That's how much I have to do residency anyways.

Grantham will take 90 credits transfer, 30 of which can be PLA. 

Stick the PLA where the PLA will go, add the Computer Tech credit (which is more or less life experience credit at this point.

30 credit requirement is all met with UL engineering credit.

Say it isn't worthwhile because I don't get enough credit, or it is looking like I'll be very very short. Purdue University global is very generous with their BS Professional Studies program, or Coursera's University of Norther Texas.

No matter how many PLA credit's I get, it's what I'm doing anyways. I need somewhere to park credit to get an inventory of what I can get. Two associate's gives 80 electives to take inventory unless of what I can PLA for I am misunderstanding that you can use UL in an associates degree.

Engineering degree look like it's going to be a bust? Dump as much of it into a Bachelor's degree as possible and cash out on as much credit as I can get. 

Or, I can not do PLA and start from zero in two years? 

This is an edge case, not your average cookie cutter. My goal is to maximize subject matter not speed of getting the degree. if all of this work net's me a AAS only, that is more worthwhile than one of these cookie degrees that forced me to get business electives or non-Computer Science/Engineering electives.

I feel like this shouldn't be that complicated.
