just read the OPs very similar post from 4 years ago.
"I have completed quite a bit of advanced math (including Calc 1 and 2)." --> Have you completed Discrete Math and/or Linear Algebra? Either of those along with Calc 1 & 2, will complete the Math requirement for the BA CS at TESU. Linear Algebra will count as UL.
"I need help deciding which school and how to plan which courses to take. I want to take at least one class this fall. I could use degree plans and 'starter' advice." --> Please post your courses include course code, number and type (CC, 4 year school, CLEP).
"attract future employers" --> I don't know that any of the big 3 or related schools will do that. While they are regionally accreditied, none of them have name recognition of other schools and are not known in the field. WGU probably has the most of the ones that usually come up in this discussion.
"I'd love to have at least one 'quick victory' course that I can test out of but feel confident will apply to an online degree program (give the course work I already have done)." --> Again, we need to your courses and you need to pick your program, but if I make a couple of assumptions, then DSST MIS. Easy, counts towards AOS in BA CS at TESU, and usually a 3rd or 4th year class for everyone but MIS majors.
Ideas mentioned certs and I see from your post from 2013 that you have the A+. Do you have any others? If so, when did you complete them? COSC goes by what ACE had them evaluated as at the time you took them. WGU has a 5 year cut off.
What are your goals for the degree? Trying to get a certain type of job? Transition to a new field or specialty? Trying to check the box for HR? Do you plan to get a graduate degree? If so where and in what?
