So, let me just talk this out.
I have the 20 credits for the generals already through Sophia.
I could use the PHP for one course in the major (213) leaving 3.
This PHP cert would cancel out the 30 credits required for the networking specialization.
That is 55 credits transferred in.
I'd still have to come up with 15 credits (from where?), because after the 15 credits (3 courses) for major and a 5 credit capstone I'm only up to 75.
Would I just repeat some of these general courses I found easy on Sophia but through Purdue to finish it out?
If you need 15 credits, then the Google IT cert is 15 credits, or do some easy Sophia courses like Visual Communications, Environmental Science, etc.
Google IT cert can be done in 1-2 weeks.
What the........................
So PHP 34, GOOGLE IT 15 = 49
Plus my 20 Sophia generals = 69
But they will only transfer in 75% or 65-67 credits of the 90
so that means I would need to get about 25-27 credits directly from Purdue
I can get 25 with
3 courses in major 15 credits = 84
capstone 5 credits = 89
I'm sure I can find 1 credit with Purdue = 90
So if I got the two certs I'd be doing 26 credits x 371 credit hour = $9600
Uhhhhh..........does this sound right?

If so, it works.... it's a lot of money but it works. It's the cost of a BA (sad) but I don't have time for that NOR the smarts for the actual CS and this will get me in the door.
This was great, thank you very much for the help, LevelUp and everyone else.
Muuuuch appreciated!
