Help designing a CS degree plan
#1
Hello! I just found this forum recently. Around 2 years ago I was working towards getting my BSCS at WGU, but life sidetracked me for a while. I've found myself in a situation where I have the liberty to work towards this again and I'm wondering if WGU is really the best choice for me. I've gone through the recommended links in the pinned posts and I'm mostly looking into TESU.

I was mainly looking at the TESU BA CS + BSBA CIS or the CS & Math double major, though the name change thing in the BSBA plan confused me a bit. I'm leaning more towards the double major but if the BSBA looks better I'd rather go for that.

Your Location: California
Your Age: 25
What kind of degree do you want?: CS
Current Regional Accredited Credits: Ummm 0 I guess 

Most of these classes were completed ~2 years ago within a month of Sophia.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: 47

Sophia Total Credits: 43 I'm aware some of these won't transfer into WGU anymore but this is my transcript.
VISCOMM1001 (Visual Communications), 3, 92%
ENVS1001 (Environmental Science), 3, 92%
CS1001 (Intro. to IT), 3, 88%
HIST1001 (U.S. Hist. 1), 3, 92%
CS1005 (Intro. to Web Dev.), 3, 88%
STAT1001 (Intro to Statistics), 3, 89%
PM1001 (Project Management), 3, 88%
CS1011 (Intro to Relational Databases), 3, 85%
ENG0050 (Foundations of English Composition), 3, 91%
CA1001 (College Algebra), 3, 92%
MATH1040 (Calculus 1), 4, 81%
CS1100 (Intro. to Python), 3, 92%
CS1101 (Intro. to Java), 3, 96%
HLTH1010 (Intro. to Nutrition), 3, 90%
CHEM1002 (Intro. to Chemistry Lab), 1, Waiting on touchstones to be graded

Study.com Total Credits: 3
Computer Science 201: Data Structures & Algorithms (SDCM-0217), 3, haven't done the final exam on this one yet.

Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: Unlimited within reason, though cheaper is better.
Commitments: Being alive
Dedicated time to study: 6+ hours a day with weekends off
Timeline: 1-2 years
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None

Welcome to the board, great stuff, you've got the addendum and template completed, along with extra info. My suggestion is that you continue with the Sophia.org and Study.com combo (one after the other), by following the WIKI page for the BACS/BSBA combo. Once you've got those credits completed, you can then do the RA requirements, using 15 credits by TECEP/15 credits flat rate as an example.
Study.com Offer https://bit.ly/3ObjnoU
