Degree Planning from scratch for late career software engineer

[davewill]

I wouldn't write off those foreign college credits so easily. The fees for having them evaluated are not onerous, and they will likely count as RA credits. Sure, the actual engineering courses may not be accepted toward a degree, but even if he only gets 50 or 60 transferable credits out of it, that would be a big help.

I don't often recommend PLA to folks, as ripping through an online course can often be quicker and easier, but it sounds like your husband is in a good position make use of it. Someone with as much experience as he has, could probably handle creating the needed portfolio(s) and get most or all of his CS credits done that way, as I did at TESU. The two PLA links in my signature should be helpful.

P.S. Another thought. While his job may want his bachelor's degree to be U.S. based, graduate programs will not mind that he has a foreign degree. He could consider doing a master's to satisfy this need for a U.S. degree rather than getting a "redundant" bachelor's degree. The downside is that it won't be as cheap as the bachelor's (although the Georgia Tech OMSCS, at $7K or so, is pretty cheap), nor will he be able to go through it quickly. On the plus side, he will actually be learning new things, and enhancing his resume in a more meaningful way.
