BA in CS vs. BALS w/ CS Concentration

[CarpeDiem8]

Completely agree that you want a real CS degree for a software career.  With 27 free elective units, TESU's BACS is pretty transfer friendly, and with the courses available now, it's also pretty test out friendly.

I have no interest in becoming a software engineer, but some of the work I do in tech support does have coding involved and as such, positions are opening up as "support engineers" - basically a step up from tech support (not IT tech, but web based technologies). A Computer Science degree is overkill and actually may hurt my chances of getting these positions since the primary focus is still customer support, with a primary need for a strong background in communicating effectively and successfully.

Which would sound better to you? 

BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Computer Science

or

BA in Communications (current path)

In either case, I would also have an external certificate in basic web development, along with a github account, etc. to demonstrate an understanding of web development.

Thanks!
