Degree planning advice
#4
Probably not. It's my understanding that American and European degrees are very different. American degrees usually only have 25-50% of their classes concerning the major. The rest is general education credits (things like science, history, psychology, etc.) and electives (whatever you want). In Europe, you're assumed to have finished your general education classes in high school/Gymnasium and probably 75-90% of the university courses are specific to the degree. Sometimes, you get a small choice of electives.

Even if Metropolia would acknowledge Sophia credits on a university transcript, most of what you've completed does not match with the required classes for their Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology. Maybe the Java or Python, but I think that would be about it. I cannot find any information about how many, if any, electives a Metropolia student is allowed to have in this degree. The link to curriculum information is entirely in Finnish and I don't think Google Translate is doing a very good job. It looks like you maybe get one or two elective ("Vapaasti valittavat opinnot" = "freely chosen studies") classes per degree.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210
