Best Computer Science degree?

I am international student, so it is not possible to test out by CLEP for example.

I don't know if anyone here has completed that degree, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible. Though if you are looking at this degree to land a programming job, I'd recommend that you look at the BACS from TESU, since that will look better on a resume. Not because of the school, but because it is a full CS degree rather than a General Studies degree with a concentration in Computer Science Studies.

In any case, regardless of which program you pursue, most CLEP/DSST exams are there to complete GenEd requirements so they can easily be substituted with an ACE (or NCCRS) course taken from another provider like Study.com, Shmoop, Straighterline, or Saylor.

Also, Study.com has a ton of upper- and lower-level Computer Science courses which makes it super easy to earn a CS degree now.

If you do consider the TESU option, be aware that it is a bit more expensive, and TESU doesn't accept Shmoop credits. However, I don't recommend Schmoop (or Saylor) to most people anyway since their course material is terrible. But, everyone has their own tolerance level for such things.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
