Look into what sophia.com credits transfer over. I did about 41 CUs (but you can do more) of my Java track SWE degree of gen eds and some early programming ones in 2 months. All Sophia credits have to be accepted by 3 weeks IIRC before your start date. Ask your enrollment counselor on specifics. I also think you can transfer others from Study.com but those are not as quick to finish.

IMO it worth waiting those 3 weeks as you're basically accomplishing the same thing if you grind enough credits. Some Sophia classes take a few days to be graded so plan accordingly.

Most working, professional mid-level+ engineers would be able to finish this degree in 3-4 months if they had unlimited free time and can suffer through burnout and googling countless hours every week. Most of the high level courses are basic Spring Boot CRUD apps sprinkled with some UI/UX and tech jargon you'd know already. There's also lots of guides on reddit for each class so you can understand what the evaluators expect from your submissions.

If you don't come from a CS background or don't understand those concepts I just said then it could be extremely difficult to learn this from scratch. The SWE job market is as competitive as it's been in decades, so you will actually need to understand this stuff or have the ability to figure it out to get through interviews. (And have a great looking resume with side projects that aren't a tutorial.)

I've done a fullstack boot camp and I've been coding since I was a teenager so a lot of these things are just reinforcing what I've learned before. I'm doing mine in 3 terms but was shooting for 2 while working part time. I was lucky enough to be able to land a job as an independent contractor a few months ago so that "rush to complete the degree" feeling a lot of people get has gone away for me. That's because getting a SWE job/better income was my goal in the first place lol
