Change of options - Seeking Advice
#7
If you plan to pursue an engineering degree, I would suggest you work backwards in planning your current degree. Decide which university you plan to attend and find out what they accept in the way of non-traditional credits. At the local university where I live, there are only about 10 exams they accept for credit. This will give you a great start in knowing which exams to take and which courses to take. You have little to lose by taking CLEP and DSST exams since they are free for military, but it can be frustrating to find out an exam you spent weeks studying for doesn't apply.

For Engineering, you are pretty stuck with traditional universities, so it is a good idea to see what they expect before getting too far into a big three degree. I am sitting on 181 credits at the moment and less than 20 would apply toward an engineering degree at the local university.
