TESU Mathematics BA degree plan
#1
Hi. After years of beating around the bush and rejecting any idea of going to college, my dad had enough and told me to choose a degree and college ASAP. A week of research later, I've come up with a plan of my own. Of course, still a work in progress.

I consulted the TESU page (https://www.tesu.edu/heavin/ba/mathematics), the DegreeForum wiki, and some of the posts here to assemble this. Got stuck as soon as I got to the latter half, with electives, as it looks like I have to pile course on top of course to get anywhere -- which gets study-intensive really fast. Also, because I am not located in the US, I can't take in-person exams like CLEPs.

#

Location: Brazil.
Age: 17 (18 in a couple months).
Preferred degree type: STEM, general enough to be applicable in many jobs -- mathematics is a first choice.
Current credits: 0.
Budget: under 8k.
Commitments: currently in senior-year of high school, will graduate in December. Doing art commissions as a side-hustle. Could get a trade job in the next year.
Timeline: 6-12 months to self-study, 6 months max to get credits. 12-24 months to self-study, 6-9 months max to get credits if I take Chemistry and Physics courses/exams.
Certificates: a bunch of odd free courses from SENAI, which are barely worth much -- but I can list if requested.

I.A:
MAT-129: Precalculus [Sophia] 3c
ENC-101 & ENC-102: English Composition [Sophia] 3+3c
MAT-121: College Algebra [Sophia] 3c
SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy [Cornerstone] 3c RA(TESU)
B:

C:
ENG-201: Technical Writing [TECEP] 3c RA(TESU)
PHI-130: Introduction to Critical Reasoning [TECEP] 3c RA(TESU)

D:

MAT-401: Mathematical Modeling [TECEP?] 3c (RA(TESU)?)
MAT-351: Mathematical Logic [TECEP?] 3c (RA(TESU)?)
C:
???
D:

III:
Coopersmith's Culinary courses, maybe
???

I should note that I've self-studied for Precalculus and Linear Algebra, so I've gotten a headstart. My Khan Academy account has Prealgebra, High School Geometry, Algebra I and II at 100%; I've also had significant progress on David Lay, Judi McDonald and Stephen Lay's Linear Algebra and its Applications, while also occasionally munching on Openstax material and Halliday, Resnick and Walker's Fundamentals of Physics Extended. I'm not sure how much high school chemistry carries over to the undergraduate level, but I'd say I'm doing pretty well with it too. So I guess you could say I'm a textbook person -- but hopefully a faster one.

I plan on studying Physics and Chemistry on my own, degree or no degree, but it would be nice for it to be acknowledged academically.

I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.
