The one concern is if they will state this. The school offered language - at least one year.
OP, for whatever the reason, didn’t take it.
There was a conflict but could the class taken have been set aside (like math as OP is far advanced), etc.
In other words, they may but may not be willing to support this - but the money thing is a much bigger concern.
If OP could do Chem E, he can go South for let’s call it $20k a year (he gets $30.5k off at Alabama) and will be similarly inexpensive at Ms State and UAH but you still have to get there, I’m not sure if OP wants to be that far from home and I noted ChemE per another poster but I’d think unm, even a few thousand higher, makes more sense to study what he wants.
