Newbie needs help with planning how to finish degree by testing out
#1
Hi guys I need help figuring out what credits I need left to get a Bachelor's Degree. I plan on testing out through CLEP and transferring everything to one of the Big Three Schools.

A little backstory:
I was one of those people that spent way too many years at a community college because I couldn't figure out what I really wanted to do. I took many classes there preparing for a Computer Science degree and finally transferred to a 4 year university in 2014. I thought I had figured out what I wanted to do for my major but last year I went to Japan and fell in love with the place. Consequently, I lost interest in Computer Science and gained interest in teaching English to children. So much so, that I am currently volunteering at a Japanese preschool teaching English. This volunteer opportunity is not really paid and kind of "hush hush" and the only way I can become an English teacher over here is by getting that elusive degree.

Unfortunately, if I remain in my current program at my school I will need around 2 years to finish my computer science degree. I feel like I just want to get back to Japan as quickly as possible so any degree will do in order to get a Visa sponsorship. So I need help figuring this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here are my current units/credits. I would just like to find the degree that I could complete in the shortest amount of time. I am planning on going to one of the Big Three schools once I've taken enough CLEP exams. If my transcripts are not clear enough, I'll be glad to clear up any confusion. Thanks in advance!

*side notes: My current school is Cal State Los Angeles and they are on a quarter system instead of semesters. Might make things more complicated unfortunately but thank you to whoever can help!
*Incoming Course = East Los Angeles Community College semester course
*One of my Calculus classes was incorrectly transferred as Calculus III but I only took Calculus II. Also struggled there :nopity:
