Best/Fastest degree plan for a BS CS

[VBStan4]

Your Location: Netherlands
Your Age: 18 (19 in a few weeks)
What kind of degree do you want?: CS or IT related
Current Regional Accredited Credits: 0
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: No. I'll take them once I build a degree plan.
Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible.
Commitments: I work with my dad part-time, but I can study full-time.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No. All costs would be paid by me.

I want to get a CS degree quickly, but I have no credits to transfer . I saw someone suggest an SNHU CS degree to a person who had no credits. Even though I've not made a firm decision on this, I'd likely pursue an on-campus Master's degree, probably in the UK, US, Germany, or maybe here in the Netherlands. Please guide me in building a degree plan. Thank you for your assistance.

The cheapest would be a TESU CS degree unless you wanted to do the UMPI BAS degree.

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I don't really know much about UMPI BAS. How would a UMPI BAS degree benefit me? I see you completed the BS CS and BSBA CIS double degree from TESU. Would you recommend it to a beginner like me? One more question: since you have an associate's degree, should I pursue an associate's degree before pursuing a bachelor's? I'd do that if it reduced the overall cost. Sorry for bombarding you with questions .

I noticed you said "CS or IT related". Just so you know, in the US those are two different domains altogether. BSCS is at the same level as an engineering degree, while "IT" degrees like BS IT, IS, CIS, and even SE (Software "Engineering") are considered to be more on the business side. If you plan to become to go into a job that requires hard-core coding skills, it's better to choose a degree with "CS" in the title.

I didn't know this. I always thought IT and CS degrees led to similar job roles lol . Thank you for the info.
