Degree planning help for a friend

[delightfulwilderness]

My friend has been working a ton of hours at a dead end job and after seeing how quickly and cheaply I completed my degree at TESU, is now is interested in a career change.

He wants to get a CS or IT degree. He's dabbled with some programming but is still a beginner coder, so I'm not sure UMPI's competency based program or WGU would be good fits. 

I had him sign up for Sophia when they were running the sale. He's completed Environmental Science and is working on Human Biology now. I think he'll finish that and Algebra this month. 

He has these RA classes:

From CC:
Intro to Computers, 3 credits, D
Intro to Criminal Justice, 3 credits, C
Intro to Criminology, 3 credits, B
Intro to Policing, 3 credits, A
Principles of Criminal Investigation, 3 credits, B
Intro to Substance Abuse, 3 credits, D
American National Politics, 3 credits, C
Intro to Psychology, 3 credits, C
Intro to Sociology, 3 credits, C


LL from university:
World Regional Geography, 3 credits, C
Fundamentals of Speech, 3 credits, B
Western Civilization II, 3 credits, B
Film Appreciation, 3 credits, C

He has 2 Ds. Will the big 3 and UMPI take them as transfer credit? With the Ds he has 39 RA credits. 

Cost and flexibility are greater factors than time. 

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thank you!
