Computer Science Degree Needed

In fact, 1 flat term can get you 27 RA credits and you can do a TECEP to hit the 30, but because you have tuition assistance, you can do two terms.  You need to start the flat term next month, so you have to apply, transfer credits in, wait for evaluation and select 5 classes.

Here's an example of the first 5 courses and then the next 5, mold it into your degree plan.  This will get you the double associates, double bachelors, do not add any certificates until you are done with the degree, skip thinking about the associates (add it and forget it), just add the program and it will be 'complete' when you are done with your Bachelors.

1) Add your first Associates - AAS Applied Computer Studies & AAS Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies
2) Add your second Associates - AS Computer Science & Math (again, it's a dual AOS as above in one degree)
3) Add your first Bachelors - BSBA Computer Info Systems
4) Add your second Bachelors - BA Computer Science

First Flat Rate Term: PLA-1010, SOS-1100 (Cornerstone), APS-2950 (Associates Capstone), SOC-2040: ACI Course, E-Pack #1.
Second Flat Rate Term: LIBCE-495 (BACS Capstone), BUS-4210 (BSBA Capstone), E-Packs #1, 2, 3.
Note: Your PLA gets you additional 12 'buffer' RA credits for any 'elective courses' you want to get credit for, this is an awesome option to get credit for the freebie Coursera/ACE options.

Easiest E-Packs for you:
Computer Concepts and Applications (CIS-1070)
Introduction to Marketing (MKT-2010)
American Government (POS-1100)
Our Changing World: An Introduction to Sociology (SOC-1010)

Hi @bjcheung77 and @rachel83az, 

Hoping you both can provide some additional guidance. Unfortunately after spending the last month earning 57 credits on Sophia (Following the CS/TESU degree plan I posted before), I found out that I now may have to pivot degrees and the college I finish at. 

My company is pushing back on approving tuition for CS as it's not directly impactful to my current role and I now may have to go with a more generic degree like Business Administration instead. Also they said that out of the options I provided, they would help with WGU. 

I've created an updated spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ae3V1falt4ZElukrzjgMTA3Y81d_UnJb0BsOSdynQ9E/edit?usp=sharing

Highlighted in orange are courses I couldn't figure out where I could complete them outside of WGU.
