Are those mainly CLEP/AP credits or did you do the ones from ACE/NCCRS providers? There are so many ways to get this done, but this is how I would do it.Thanks for the suggestions. Most of the courses are ACE credits, most of which I got through completing study.com courses. Out of the options I would just wait and get a BA in CS because most IT careers that I'm looking would require it.
1) Complete more credits until you reach 18 and apply to TESU, you can work towards the BA of your choice and leave the final two courses to be completed at TESU. Just make sure to do the age waiver and complete the Associates/Bachelors together, so you will be charged once for application fee, grad fee, residency waiver, etc.
2) If you need an Associates really quickly, because you're 16, COSC has an Associates of Arts/Science. This is a general studies Associates, but you can dump all your Computer Science courses into it. I would then work on the Bachelors in General Studies with a Computer Science concentration. If this is not what you want, refer to #1.
Note: For the price, the COSC would be cheaper than the TESU Bachelors. You may want to consider the energy/money/time you are going to invest into the degree and decide which would you prefer. If you have more questions, reply to this thread.
