  3. Can rep as a Computer Studies type of degree on your resume

W3schools PHP, Google IT Support and AWS Cloud Practitioner Foundational was the suggested certifications to get since those are some of easiest which can be done in under 2 weeks each.

Doing exactly 5 UL courses with PUG and 3LL courses will equal exactly 35 credits which is the min you have to do.
