I don't recall anyone trying to transfer the Java course but I may have forgotten. The C++ course will duplicate but you could still take the C course. Straighterline is a better choice for the C++ course anyway.

I would expect them all to transfer. I believe that the complaint about the Java course was not that it didn't transfer, but that it didn't satisfy the Intro to Programming requirement.

Is there any chance that Thomas Edison would consider issuing a BS in Computer Science rather than a BA in Computer Science if a student already has credit for many math and science courses in the general education areas?

Nope. It isn't one of their degree offerings. Not to mention, the BA and BS have different capstone requirements.
There really isn't any difference between the BA and BS when it comes to a CS degree though, so you shouldn't be concerned.

CS is CS, if your employer asks let them know the school you went too only offers a BA.
Most employers wont care about a BA vs a BS. They want to see your previous work, portfolio, how good you are with whiteboard coding and weather or not you can be a part of the team.

Whiteboard coding! Wow, I don't think I've seen anyone do that in more than a decade. We might ask for whiteboard pseudocode to walk through how they'd approach a problem.
If we administer a coding test, these days we usually sit candidates down with a laptop and a problem and let them work on real code. Plus we'd probably ask for a code sample in advance. In some cases, we've also used online coding challenges or coding interview sites for pre-screening.
As an employer, I can verify that most won't care if a CS degree is BA vs BS. The degree itself is usually just a checkbox. It is more important to be able to show your value proposition through prior works and demonstrated problem-solving ability (expressed through coding interviews or other challenges). That and be sociable enough to slip into the team's social dynamic without causing issues.

@Merlin Well that is what I mean!! It is popular in my country and some do psuedocode and some do whiteboard coding.
Based on what I'm reading online its popular with US employers. Amazon, Google and most Silicon valley companies still do the whiteboard based on what I am reading on Quora and Medium and Youtube.
And my online bootcamp AppAcademy stresses on it as well. So it cant jurt to master the skill, only help.

Sure it is good to have an understanding and be ready and able to do it when asked, but much like the old brainteaser interview questions that Google used to be known for, it really doesn't come up that often anymore in modern interviewing style.
I'm in Silicon Valley, and I also know a lot of other engineering hiring managers and engineers. The last person I know who either asked or was asked to perform a whiteboard coding problem was at Microsoft like 10 years ago. I'm sure it comes up more often than that, but I know I've not asked or seen anyone write actual code on a whiteboard in any of the last few hundred engineering interviews I've been a part of. IMO it isn't a good test of someone's coding ability anyway; modern coding is much more challenging than anything you could do in such a limited environment.
All I'm saying is that a whiteboard is more typically used to show problem-solving skills or demonstrate high-level design & structural approach to coding problems. If any coding is done, its usually just something simple, and pseudocode based. Like there are still a few old-school folks who'll ask someone to implement a bubble sort algorithm (or some variation on the theme) on the whiteboard. I know that used to be a popular question back in the day.
