Best path for a Computer Science Bachelors

[jaybee]

Hey y'all, was wondering if any of you can help me chart an efficient plan to obtain an computer science bachelors. I was looking at WGU initially but I've been curious about other institutions like TESU and possibly UMPI later this year?

Your Location: New York City
Your Age: 32
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors in Computer Science.
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 0
Any certifications or military experience?: 0
Budget: Ideally as cheap as possible, but open to other more expensive options if they provide a better path
Commitments: Single, no kids, work 8-3 weekdays only
Dedicated time to study: 4-5 hours on weekdays, unlimited on weekends
Timeline: 1-1.5 years, if it can be achieved faster that would be nice!
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None at the moment, will be applying for FAFSA

Let me know if you need/or if I'm missing any important information about myself. Thank you in advance!

Something else to consider. Do you have previous computer science experience? Do you have any IT certifications? If so that could affect your plans or speed things up if you have experience vs no experience.

I don't believe there is an age limit

this is not for the school named Excelsior

this is for the schools that make up the State University of New York and the City University of New York

Unfortunately no to both, most experience I have with coding is dabbling a little into Harvards free CS50 course.
