Need Help with Degree Completion Strategy

By the way, thanks so much for fleshing this out with me. It's so refreshing to hear like-minded people making rational arguments for their opinions.
I'm guessing you'll need 4-5 actual CS courses to finish a CS degree. People here can show you how to do the BSBA almost completely with tests or self-paced courses. Some of them have finished their degrees in under a year. Going for the BACS vs BSBA, if you take the CS courses at TESU, will probably cost you another $6-8K. Taken one at a time, it would take a year just for those. Plus you won't have the accounting and finance courses most MBA or similar business grad programs would expect. I usually figure that life's too short for half-measures. If you want to try to leverage the computer courses you've taken, an MIS/CIS concentration might help, but if you really need management, I would personally do management.

Unless you intend to continue to be a software developer, I wouldn't do the CS degree.
