You need not complete all the modules (I.E., the programming modules can be skipped if desired). ECTS credits are usually evaluated at approximately 1/2 a semester credit hour.

Sophia.org is free right now, until July 31st. You do not need to complete the courses by then so long as you are signed up by July 31st. This will be good to fill out any GE credits that might be too old or that got skipped over in the process of getting an associate's degree.

I think there are some posts on here about how to potentially get a BA in Art from TESU online (it's not considered an online degree by them).

Several people here have used SNHU for their degrees. They're not completely competency-based but they have a graphic design degree: https://www.snhu.edu/online-degrees/bach...media-arts

They have other art degrees, too: https://www.snhu.edu/liberal-arts/design

Thank you so much for the information, I will look into it.

Finding what you want to do as a job for a career you have to balance things.

SNHU has good reviews and they do allow you to transfer in up to 90 credits.  TESU has a Computer Science degree you can do all outside TESU.

Sophia.org is free and has a Visual Communications course that is geared towards artists. (Good if you need elective)

I have hired designers in the past and I go exclusively by their portfolio as it is mostly a skilled based profession.  I would guess a large firm might hire some entry-level positions if someone had a degree in art.  I would lean towards getting a degree as fast as possible and building up your portfolio.  Narrow down what you want to specialize in.
Degrees: BA Computer Science, BS Business Administration with a concentration in CIS, AS Natural Science & Math, TESU. 4.0 GPA 2022.
Course Experience:  CLEP, Instantcert, Sophia.org, Study.com, Straighterline.com, Onlinedegree.org, Saylor.org, Csmlearn.com, and TEL Learning.
Certifications: W3Schools PHP, Google IT Support, Google Digital Marketing, Google Project Management
