Change of minimum age requirement?

Another option is to complete the Bachelors at TESU/UMPI instead of going for or focusing on an Associates at either institution.  One can try and gather 90+ credits using alternative credits until they get admitted.  Then complete the residency requirements at the institution of choice.  Technically, the associates at TESU and/or UMPI is free on route to the Bachelors, if you graduate them both at the same time.

That begets the question why one would bother at that point. I could have gotten an Associate degree from Charter Oak the semester before I got my Bachelor, but at that point I didn't see any professional advantage.

Although, I suppose maybe if one qualifies for an Associate degree in one discipline and a Bachelor in another that would make sense?
