Possible exceptions to NA BS transfer to TESU?

Your plan may work, I don't think going the TESU ABET option would cost that amount, you can drop it a bit doing something like the following: This is what I would do if I have a lot of experience that I can "write up" about, I can do a PLA for the Area of Study at TESU.

Take the 90 FREE credits by doing all the Sophia.org courses and the FREE courses and cheap/easy/fast ones on the WIKI webpage. You'll have enough for all the lower level requirements and general education or free electives.

For the Area of Study, you can do a PLA at TESU, just follow the instructions on the PLA100-PLA200 for TESU, spend the fees for up to 24 credits. It will take time to document everything you know/learned, I would highly recommend this option.

A better option maybe - If you have a community college with online offerings near you, you can take the LL requirements for the Area of Study. If not, ECPI has an online BSET that has LL/UL transferable to TESU. Even though it may not be ABET, it won't matter, TESU will take it as they are RA credits.

I think 8-9 grand or whatever ECPI charges for those 30 credits is all that you need, plus the FREE credits going on at Sophia.org right now, just snatch up all those free credits first and wait for more info in regards to ECPI.

Further to this, you can use all the free credits to get yourself that ASNSM Computer Science and AAS Applied Electronic Studies OR the AAS Electrical-Mechanical Systems & Maintenance FREE enroute to the BSET at TESU that has ABET accreditation.

I like the way you think. Instead of going COSC and adding Electronics electives onto it, AAS Applied Electronic/Electro-Mech is a much better option. The BS part is going to take a while so I'd get the AAS straight away, and I feel like it may be easier to coordinate getting the BSEET if I'm already at TESU. Community College & ECPI are out unfortunately but I think this puts a good plan together. Does TESU do minors?
