Degree Planning from scratch for late career software engineer

[bjcheung77]

@christinadq, Thanks for the updated info, depending on your answers I would have recommended you a FREE Bachelors for Texas residents, but you're not under the $100K/household requirement threshold.  Link: https://online.utpb.edu/falcon-free/

Everyone here is trying to be helpful and each of us are trying to provide you the cheap, easy, fast options to the degree and school of choice.  Having said that, you can make your cake and eat it too!  That's where I like to go beyond the 3, I look for extra ROI/Value.

The reason I mentioned Pierpont is for two reasons: 1) For the UMPI BAS (not BLS) you need an AAS with 40 technical credits to transfer in, the Pierpont AAS is a requirement.  2) For TAMUC, it'll be "easier" to transfer in the credits and also have it in a "credit bank".

Another reason you should do it this way is, an example, TAMUC page mentions the use of COSC Portfolio review or Excelsior One Transcript, each of theses have costs involved - $425 for the Excelsior option, it's nearly FREE at Pierpont!  I would use that $ for something else babe!

Now, you've been provided options on the Big 3 and several CBE options, what have you and the hubby decided on?  What appeals to you most?  Review my suggestion, some would shoot it down because it's not the cheapest, or easiest, or fastest, but it's a mix of all 3 and has the ROI/Value...

What may be best is to decide on the degree/school of choice first as mentioned, however; having said that, I would work on credits while deciding on that.  It's hard to plan, harder to decide, but hardest to START getting those credits - what if you keep changing your mind on the degree/school choice later?!
