Electronics Engineering degree plan advice
#1
Hello everyone, been following this forum for some time and developed my plan based on the guides and posts. Posting this plan to see if anyone has any recommendations or advice. Due to time constraints of being active-duty military, I can only take 2 classes at a time No, I do not wish to go for Military Technology Leadership or any similarly pointless (unmarketable) AAS degrees.

My current plan is to simultaneously pick up the AS CIT, and AS EET and graduate the two associates simultaneously while on my way to the BS ESET through TESU. Im considering the BA Liberal Studies/Computer Science degree as a backup plan as that requires the fewest credits to complete. I'm a computer nerd and I have electronics experience through the military.  I’m working on this degree path to improve my promotion/career prospects within my field of electronics/radio/computers both in the military and civilian side. I’m primarily interested in the TESU program due to the transfer credits accepted and ABET/ETAC accreditation.

I currently have the following credit distribution with a 3.85GPA: 
Associates of Science, Computer & Information Technology, 34/60cr complete
Associates of Science Electronics Engineering Technology, 31/60cr complete
Bachelors of Science Electronics Systems Engineering Technology, 54/120cr complete.

These are the classes I have left to complete and my plan for completion:

PHY-1160 Physics II w Lab4Study.com or TESUAS CIT, AS EET, BS ESET
