... I could have him get an AS to satisfy the general electives, but it is just frustrating that they are sprinkled throughout the 4 years.  I think they only way to help him financially is to actually eliminate semesters...

They get sprinkled throughout the 4 years because it's hard to take all of your AOS at the same time, and also most students want to be exposed to their chosen major right away. My twins had to deal with the problem. They got their GenEds done at community college, then went on to a 4 year public university. One of my daughter's professors asked her during her senior year why she was taking "all of the hardest courses at once?" She explained that as a transfer student, there weren't any easy ones left.

In California, if you follow the transfer guidelines, it's possible to finish your degree in two years, not easy, but possible. Hopefully your state (or chosen school) has similar guidelines. It may or may not be that actually getting an AS is the best route. Neither of my two CC transfer students did.
