How to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Technology

[Insert Name]

Like their nuclear engineering technology, this is a degree tailored towards military trained people. I have met one person that finished a nuclear degree through excelsior who wasn’t a navy Nuke, though. So if you really want that degree, I’d first see if every class required is available through TESU. Then, make a list of them and see how many you can find elsewhere. Assuming that they have the class, not like their foreign language degrees, you’ll probably end up taking all of your general education through Sophia, and all of your degree specific classes through TESU. If that’s the route you choose, you should be able to find all of the non-TESU courses through Sophia, but may choose a different route for a couple of the classes for ease instead of money. For instance, being from CHINA, maybe one (or some of) of the ACTFL tests to fill in free electives quicker. Or a different English comp source, or something.

I just took a look at the BS requirements. Assuming they have courses that fit section E: Specialty, it looks like it can be done but without mapping it out it looks like somewhere between 17 and 20 courses would have to be done there, unless you can find those specific courses somewhere else. So, you’re probably looking at like $30-35k. I believe excelsior has a similar degree, and with a Sophia discount you may be able to save a couple thousand dollars taking some of the classes there (either getting the degree there, or transferring a few of the classes from there to TESU), but it’s still going to be a pretty expensive degree for an online degree.
