I would suggest 2 options.

Options 1:
Associate in Computer Science
Bachor's in Business Administration with a concentration in CIS

Option 2:
Bachor's Computer Science
Bachor's in Business Administration with a concentration in CIS\

Remember, things aren't set in stone when you start, so you can pivot if you need to. Start with Sophia first and do all you can there. 

Doing 2 degrees using a flat-rate term won't cost you more than around $1500 extra (if you opt to do the capstones separately)

Wow, thank you for this! This forum is such a great place to get wisdom; I really appreciate it! I've been overanalyzing everything and have been frozen with indecision. 

Good to know on pivoting on degree. I'm leaning toward the second option, and I appreciate having options and the links to those sample degree plans too.

In addition to the various posts above, you may want to concentrate on finishing one degree first and ladder to the next.  Just in case something happens, you've got the first degree completed and can come back to the second degree instead of having both 'half done'.  Further to that, if you complete the BSBA CIS, the AS Comp Sci and the CIS Cert are completed automatically.  I would get this degree done first and then ladder up to the BACS, and graduate all of them at the same time.

I would take some time to review the WIKI pages including the freebie Certs and Associates add-on, then review these posts in regards to the 16 credits vs residency waiver and transfer policy.  You can decide how to work things to your liking, I suggest creating a spreadsheet using your current credits and either LevelUP's or Rachel83AZ's BSBA CIS/BACS template.

Thank you for all the links and suggestion on the direction for which degree to focus on first. I appreciate it. I'm going to set up a spreadsheet, I think that will be immensely useful with juggling all these classes. I appreciate the links too! Such a wealth of information on here, but it's overwhelming at the same time. So thank you for posting!
