advice for completing General Education credits for son in High School

[EducationSeeker]

My son is a 16 year old High School Student and we are trying to resource plan for his Bachelor's degree. My older son has decided to finish his degree after 1.5 years of traditional year university at UMPI with a Bachelor's degree in Management and Leadership so I think this will serve as somewhat of a guide for a degree plan.

The goal is to resourcefully plan so he can get the equivalent of an Associates degree so he can get his General Education credits out of the way. He thinks that he will want to get his BS in Cybersecurity, Technology Management, or in Business. 

Also, he is looking at getting a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies from EU or a BPS at TESU. I am not sure what exactly the BPS concentration is, but, it seems to be a general Bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary Business fields?

He attends a STEM High School and also is interested in Welding Engineering. The local community college, Eastern Gateway, has a general Associates degree options, Manufacturing, and Welding Technology. They have a transfer agreement with Ohio State which is one of the few programs in Welding Engineering. 

With all this said, he is still figuring out what he wants to major in College and has 3 years to decide (graduating HS in 2025). So, I think it makes sense if we can get the equivalent of a general Associates degree or at least the General Education credits out of the way (as close to if not more than 60 credit hours) by the time he graduates, it would at least give him a head start in only having 2 years of college left potentially. What is a good model to get a General Associates or GEC credits out of the way? Is the Pierpont AAS a good model to follow. Any degree planning advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
