Discrete Math isn't that hard and can be done in 1-2 weeks. I would do that at SDC.
Calculus on the other hand can take months for some people.

I wouldn't do any Sophia for the electives. I would do the W3schools PHP cert which covers the IT213 course you need + 34 credits of electives.

IT133 Microsoft Office Applications on Demand (Microsoft Office Specialist Cert)
IT190 Information Technology Concepts (Sophia IT course)
IT213 Software Development Concepts (W3 schools PHP cert)
IT273 Networking Concepts (SDC)

You want to transfer in max credits you can. Some IT certifications you can do easily in 1-2 weeks. Some like the CCNA could take months.

Any advice on what to take outside of Purdue? What to take at Purdue? If I transfer all 75% in it looks like I would have to do 15 credits + capstone from Purdue so perhaps a better question is what would be the 3 easiest courses to do at Purdue? Also, 3 courses and a capstone should take just one semester you think? I would appreciate any advice from someone who went through this program.
From a technical point of view, I don't see any courses that I would be worried about.
If you need to do 22.5 credits at Purdue, that looks like it would be 5 courses.
