Only missing 12 RA credits

It's mostly ignorance about the process of applying and having the credits evaluated. I'll look into it. Thank you

Basically, I'm a deal seeker and want more bang for the buck, my recommendation would be different than most people, here's what I would do if I was in your shoes. Your budget wouldn't change too much, you'll do one flat rate term, and the two capstones together in another term. You'll come out with the following:

1. BA Computer Science - No change
2. BS Aviation Flight Technology - No change
3. ASNSM Mathematics > When you graduate, add an additional AOS for it to become ASNSM CS & Math
4. AAS Applied Computer Studies > add additional AAS Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies

For the flat rate term (AAS requires a capstone)
APS-2950 - Associates Capstone
PLA-1010 - Prior Learning Assessment
SOS-1100 Fact, Fiction, or Fake? Information Literacy Today
Both lab classes, an e-pack, and the 1 credit course of your choice

Skip the 4 TECEPS as the PLA-1010 will add 12 credits max. You do the two Bachelors capstones last, APS-4010 and LIB-4970, if you need extra time, you can extend the capstones if needed. The PLA-1010 is worth 3 credits, graded, RA. The bonus or icing on the cake is that you can get 12 extra credits free of charge. Here's the full thread in regards to the info: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Residents

That's right, you're going to be putting work into a course anyways, with a little bit more work, depending on your course load and what you need to complete for RA requirements, this PLA-1010 potentially can net you the 15 credit towards RA requirements with this one course/portfolio combo, you just want to make sure you hit the final residency requirements too with a flat rate term!

Associates Capstone is easier, faster, as the requirements are shorter than the Bachelors Capstone, it's also going to help the student by preparing them for capstone related work for the Bachelors and beyond, such as the Masters level. The Associates degrees are actually 'free', you're just doing the Associates Capstone as part of the 15 credit flat rate. When you do the BACS/BAST, the requirements are already completed with the Associates, except the Capstone.

Note: If you want to go the controversial way, you can use ENEB for foreign credits to be evaluated and transferred into TESU, it'll be cheaper, easier, faster and you can get all your RA credits all in one swoop. You'll still need to decide on paying the Edison Accelerate Fee (Residency Waiver) or do the flat rate tuition to get the 15 credit residency.

That's quite an interesting approach! Thank you very much for the write up, trully.

I've been quite busy between work and practicing for the math related exams, as that's the route I'm currently going for. I'm actually enjoying it to be quite frank, so it's likely what I'm going to end up doing.

I'll certainly keep your novel strategy in mind.
