I'd recommend checking out the WGU BS CS transfer guide:

https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/BSCS.aspx

Unfortunately they do not waive gen eds for those with a non-USA bachelors degree.
I'll take look at the transfer guide, thanks!

Ah! Gotcha. That sucks. You'd think it wouldn't matter as long as it was evaluated as equivalent to a US degree.

Basically, I agree with TESU being your first choice, as you get to slowly yet surely learn the courses using the alternative credit providers we recommend; whereas for WGU, if you have the experience & knowledge, that would be the route to go... If you're interested in a double major, you can do a TESU BA CS/Math combo as well.

And in regards to StraighterLine, if you have a membership and can complete courses at a faster rate, you may want to add another course to max the cost of StraighterLine. I would have recommended to finish off your Sophia.org before you begin StraighterLine as you're paying for two subscriptions at once... In fact, since you're going to do Study.com, it would have been more economical to take Political Science for $70 and be done in a few days, in addition to the two lower level computer courses.

this may be the best formatted and most informative post I have ever seen on any forum ever
great title, great post

one of my many pet peeves is when someone posts a thread titled "HELP !"   
and then gives only a little info inside the post

> they wanted me to re-take calculus because it has been more than 5 years. I really do not want to take that again.

you could knock out calculus at straighterline easily
they let you use a graphing calculator (which study.com and WGU don't)
just watch a few videos as a refresher and then take the proctored exam
WGU accepts straighterline's calculus

The coupon is only an option for NEW subscribers I recall, it's 30% off for the first 3 months.  You can search for posts made by member here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/User-mcquacks2 , I think there are other codes out there as well also providing 30% off for 3 months.

hahah thanks for the posting compliment! I appreciate how helpful everyone is on this forum so I really tried my best to be thorough in my original post! 

I will definitely try to do calculus on straighterline!

I'd say that TESU may be faster and cheaper than WGU, since you have so many fewer courses to take. If you do the 16cr term at TESU, you'll save the most money, and I think it's doable for you.
