Calculus I/II - Advice?

Yeah, just stay your path and complete the Associates and then work on your Bachelors using as many ACE credits as possible to bring down the cost.  I'm still a little curious why you're choosing Grantham over Excelsior though.  They both have an ABET Engineering Technology program with a slightly different name, but Excelsior has Regionally Accredited status.  

Further to that, since you're taking ACE credits after your Associates, Excelsior allows up to 113 credits transferred into the program vs the 90 credits at Grantham.  You shouldn't worry about this now, but as I mentioned - work on your AS, work the credits for your BS, but also apply to Excelsior free if you have taken any SL/Study.com courses.

Here's the Excelsior program link: https://www.excelsior.edu/program/bachel...echnology/

Cost is the biggest reason, and I'm not sure they'll take the Electrical/Electronic AS from Penn Foster like Grantham will. $300 credit hour vs. $510 a credit at EXC doesn't really make sense ROI as I already make close to what an electrical engineer with a full BSEE in engineering makes without a degree. They are identical degrees with the exception of Differential Equations and electives, and Excelsior is definitely the better program. If I could transfer my Penn Foster AS and take most classes at Grantham to transfer to Excelsior I would go for it in a heartbeat.

Excelsior: $30k for 60 credits = $36,000
Grantham: $18,000 for 30 credits + AS=$24,000 estimated

Honestly, now that I'm looking at it the $12k difference might be worth it, as long as they can take my AS Industrial/Electrical. I have to do the AS because I need to be an Industrial electrician as well as Controls/IT. I need either the BS level to learning Controls/Automation, and no one is going to care if it is NA as long as it is ABET. I figure I can pivot to an RA Master's if I run into any issues.

Thoughts?
