TESU Simultaneous degrees - Need all credits in AOS or 24?

[natshar]

This is probably a pretty simple question that I'm overthinking, but I'm looking into doing two degrees simultaneously and came across the Award of Degrees Policy stating:

Students who desire to have two Thomas Edison State University baccalaureate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 24 credits are different in the second degree's core/area of study

If I wanted to do the BACS and BSCS for example, would I only need to do 24 credits in the BSCS AOS or would I need to do the complete 60 (AOS + AOS Electives)? I'd imagine I'd need to do the AOS in its entirety but then I'm left to wonder where the 24 credit policy comes into play. Is the policy simply preventing someone from being awarded two degrees with AOS's so similar that no extra work needed to be done? 

At one time I was trying to do two degrees and TESU told me that for two bachelors degrees I needed 24 different credits between the two degrees. They didn't tell me where. But there was a limit of (9 credits? I forget the number) that could overlap between the two degrees AOS, so basically the 24 different credits would come from the AOS because of the overlap limit.

But TESU doesn't offer a BSCS and also I'm not sure why you would want to earn a BACS and BSCS anyways thats redundant. 

Also doing two different bachelors degrees would require two capstones. If I were you I'd just focus on bachelors degree at first. A common theme here is beginners want to do a lot of degrees before they even have one degree. Just start working towards one and then add a second one later.

By the way, if you really want a BSCS WGU has one and also WGU is cheaper and potentially faster than TESU. Note that WGU is for US residents only. But if you are one and looking at anything computers IT, etc. for a degree it might be a better option than TESU.
