After the BTS you need to complete the final year of specialization at a larger university. So you’d have a BTS in management and specialty in “Brandy commerce”, or a BTS in systems engineering and a specialization in security.
THAT would be recognized in the US.

Btw, BTS programs are selective.

If you don’t have a bacc, you can see if you could attend Terminale S SI (6 hours each of chemistry, engineering, and math that includes calculus, statistics, and Python programming, plus English, Spanish, contemporary history, and philosophy two hours a week each) or STI which is more technical. Both allow you to apply to IUT or BTS, but only SSI allows you to apply to a Grande Ecole’s Bachelor’s.
You can just skip the bacc and move straight into the BTS or iut, check out CampusFrance. For the Grandes Ecoles you can check out their websites typically they’d want APs.

In all cases, all classes are fixed - you can’t decide what classes you take.
For BTS and out these are nationally decided and published online.

Americans wouldn’t know any of these. You’d need to go back to the US and either have a specifically French degree (like the Brandy or wine specialties) or plan for a Master’s. You would also have to do your internships (at leat 1, often 2 are required) at places known in the US (say, with the Brandy specialization, at Hennessy or Courvoisier, if security I’m not sure but a worldwide brand…)
