Are you still in Virginia? (maybe it does not matter).

Check out ODU. I can’t say for certain how it will work out, but I can share a personal experience from a little over 10 years ago. I know programs change, so this could be way out of date info. I graduated from Va Tech in mechanical engineering. After working for a while, I recognized that some formal education on the electrical side would be useful. ODU offered an engineering technology degree at the time (it’s worth looking up the difference, but simplistically the math is not quite as rigorous). After discussing it with them, all I needed was 11 classes, and they would confer a BS electrical engineering tech. This was highly based on my course work at VT, and because theoretically the Virginia colleges are one happy family, they gave me credit for everything that applied. Full disclosure - I did not pursue this due to combination of kids, job change, and moving.

It may not still work this way, but it could be a good path to check out. ODU has some broad offerings, and maybe something applies here.
