Fastest second AA you can get if you already have a first AA ?
#1
I have a first general AA (i think the AA just says AA in general studies), and I wanna get a 2nd AA in Computer Science, where's the cheapest option available ?

I was looking at TESU and don't look worth getting just an AA in CS. Would be sorta worth it to get an AA in CS if i was completing a BA/BS in something else during the same period.

but for now, just wondering what's the cheapest option to get an AA in CS if I already have a first AA.

If you're getting a Bachelor's at TESU already, getting an ASNSM in Computer science would be "free" (except for the cost of any additional courses you might need) as long as you graduate with both degrees at the same time. If you already have an AA, it's not really worth it to get another one unless you can do so at no additional cost like you can at TESU.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Oooo.. i always thought u had to pay an additional fee if u wanted an AA together with your BS/BA at TESU. But yeah, they seem to be the cheapest option if I was to finish an AA CS + a Bach. together

If you graduate separately, there would be an additional fee. But you only pay one graduation fee for graduating with multiple degrees at once. It's part of why graduating from TESU with 2 Bachelor's at once degrees is so popular.

There is zero reason to get an AA in CS if you're going to get a BS in CS.

If you can get AA in CS really fast, it can help you get a job in CS until you finish your BS in CS.

Also, most employer ATS these days won't even allow you to submit an application unless you can check the "degree" box. The AA in CS allows you to apply for jobs that you would have been shut out of otherwise, while you continue your BS studies.

True but for TESU if you get an ASNSM CS and then come back for a bachelors that will cost over $4k extra.

If an AAS with an Area of Emphasis in Computer Science would work for you, there's the BOG program at Pierpont Community & Technical College, for which (at present) there is no cost.
