Although, Even if anything fails, I can always get out with the BACS and ANSM MAT.

If I leave with BACS for the time being and come back again for MAT, I have do the capstone, cornerstone again also pay the residency waiver or do the flat term right?

Alongside, I seen Strayer have added Operating Systems as an challenge exam, All strayer challenge exam will transfer in TESU right?, I am thinking about taking it since it will RA.

Well, you don't want to go paying for courses, then fail them, plus the point of doing the flat rate term is to get 16 credits so you don't have to pay the residency waiver. If you fail the math courses, you'd be short.

If you come back later to do the math degree, you don't have to do the cornerstone again, but you do have to take the capstone again, and you need to pay another residency waiver or take another 16 TESU credits. You also have to take 24 new credits overall (can be alt cred). They have to be earned after you graduate the first bachelor's.

Got it, I really appreciate the insight, 
Although this is proving to be a lot of more difficult than I initially thought,
I guess I need to think through this a little bit more.

If you do your first degree at TESU and take 16cr there, you don't have to take another 16cr there, nor do you have to pay the residency waiver - you earned the RW by taking 16cr there already, so you just need 24 new credits and then the capstone.

I guess this will apply if I take two terms consecutively.

I usually tell people the capstone will take 80 hours +/- 20 hrs.

The capstone won't be your major problem. You can pay for an extension if you need more time.

There are some tricks, such as studying courses and writing the entire capstone ahead of your term. Math courses alone can take some people up to 200 hours to do. You have to be careful loading up a bunch of hard math courses at once. 

If you do the flat term, then take TESU Software Engineering.

Can you give me a link or guide to the tricks you mentioned,

Also is the TESU Software Engineering, is easy? (Easy in the sense, After doing all the courses, will it be easy in the 16 credit term?)

Alongside, Does anybody know if those strayer challenge exam can be used to remove the 200$ TOEFL That I will otherwise need to take?
