Hi, I attended TESU from 2015-2016. I transferred some credits in and took some of TESU courses. I had to withdraw for medical reasons, but I feel better now and will have time to devote to school within the next 6 months.
Initially, I was going for a BACS but wondering if I should try to get a BALS with a CS concentration so I can finish faster. Plus I have more time than money and was thinking that I could get a BALS much cheaper and faster than the BACS. I am pretty much stuck in barely above min wage jobs, so maybe I should just get a BALS to get better employment and then try to get a second CS/IT degree later? Or I could transfer to a different big three school or WGU if it is cheaper and/or faster?
I am within driving distance to a testing site for CLEP so I would rather take CLEPS than pay $200 a month with SL/SDC. But as far as I can tell there aren't many upper credits for my degree that I can even use or at least I can't find them. Are there any other sources that I could use for credit for my degree?
Also, it seemed like the degree requirements for the BACS changed since my initial eval in 2015. Could you look at my academic evaluation and help me make a degree plan? Would I have to retake SOS-110?
