Ridiculously Easy Associates Degree - Purdue University Global

Google IT Support counts for 9 credits
AWS Fundamentsl (Easy easy exam) counts for 21
AWS Solutions Architect counts for 33 (can't take both AWS ones)
CySA counts for 15
Azure Fundamentals counts for 12.

AWS + CySA + W3 PHP + Google IT Support and you have yourself a degree. AWS Fundamentals is super easy, even if it is worth less credit it is a better option.

WGU certs are 1 to 1 for credit
AWS is 1 to 11 for credit.

Literally in a weekend you can get all of the elective/major requirements done. Once you do their 30 required credits via there $200 a month subscription, you've got an associates. ANYONE can pass the W3 PHP certificate once you look at the study guide, because the test is open book. You don't have a proctor, you just need someone who isn't you and doesn't have your last name to sign that you passed it.

I'm going to use PLA's to get the other 60 credits most likely, unless they count Graduate certificates for Undergrad credit. 

Seriously...Purdue University global can't be beat IMHO for cost or speed, and they take credits from everywhere. They'll just try to upsell you on a Masters Degree.

With all of those credits you've listed, you'll just need to take 30 credits from them. They are easy courses to take, and then you have a Bachelor's of Professional Studies.

I'm going to use my BPS as a means to get an MS of Electrical Engineering from U of Colorado Boulder, assuming I can get the math learnt.

For less than $30k I may just end up with a Master's in Electrical Engineering.
