Hi,
Since I'm not very familiar with the U.S. education system, I was hoping someone could give me some insights about the following:
My ultimate goal is to earn an ABET-accredited degree in electrical engineering fully online, at the lowest possible cost.
I found an online undergraduate Electrical Engineering "upper-level two-year program" at Stony Brook University.
More info: https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonline/
I read their requirements and it seems I have a chance of getting in, because my previous degree is not related to Electrical Engineering at all (it's a B.A. in English). (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl...ns/faq.php)
According to their admission requirements (https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/eeonl.../index.php), the following courses need to be completed beforehand:
College Calculus I
College Calculus II
College Calculus III
Introduction to Differential Equations
An English composition course equivalent to WRT 102 (U.S. academic writing course), with at least a grade of C
My question is: are there any recommended (preferably inexpensive) online courses I could take as an international student to fulfill these prerequisites?
I came across some very low-cost online classes at New Mexico Junior College, but I’m not sure if they would be accepted.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
