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!

Why not stick with the BA in Communications, and add on the ASNSM in Computer Science (a relativity simple add on - often able to be done at very little, or even no extra cost, on top of the the TESU BA)
Amberton - MSHRB
TESU - ASNSM/BSBA
TESU - ASNSM/BSBA
