Well, he's not exactly sure where he wants to go as far as degrees (what and where). Looking at all his current completed courses, what's the best path? dfrecore mentioned WGU and Purdue Global. I am not familiar with anything but TESU. He has no IT experience. Only some interest and I have seen people talk about difficulty of courses. That may bump him as far as interest/ease at that point. Any words of wisdom are appreciated! Thanks.
With no IT experience, I'm going to guess that he'll struggle with IT courses at a competency-based program. So, I'd suggest taking courses at a CC, or else learning on his own (not necessarily for college credit) while doing GE's, and see if he even likes it at this point.
I agree, IT is generally a hands on learned skill set. Many CCs have good IT entry programs. IT is not CS, and neither is 'easy - especially when the student isn't 100% onboard. I'm not suggesting that he give up on earning a degree through the methods we talk about here, but you haven't actually stated what he is interested in doing/learning. Even if the degree is something you'd like him to earn, but he'd rather go off and build houses (for example) there are still degree paths that fit that (business, project management - again for example).
