Your Location: NY, USA
Your Age: 28
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors, preferably in IT/CS. Coming from a CIS associates in progress at my local community college. Looking at the dual TESU CIS & CS bachelors degrees. Ideally getting the two free associates as well.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Computer Science & Information Systems
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Sophia Intro to Nutrition, Intro to Stats, Workplace Communication (planning a lot more). Additionally planning on study.com courses.
Any certifications or military experience?: None relevant.
Budget: No cap.
Commitments: 40 hour workweek. I can do some schoolwork at work, and have a large amount of PTO.
Dedicated time to study: 40+ hours a week
Timeline: ASAP, preferably within a year.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Likely from my employer. I'd prefer to have them reimburse the whole thing, but I don't think they will if I do the fee for accelerating. I think a 16 credit semester may be too much.
---------------------
So, looking to see if my plan makes sense. I've made the spreadsheet below to organize the courses I need to take. Taken from the example on the wiki. I removed the CIS gen ed section as its a copy. I know its counter intuitive to try to speed two bachelors, but the difference between them is negligible and can be taken primarily at Sophia/Study.

Spreadsheet also attached. It's not perfect as a lot of the credits go into multiple spots, but it gives a good overview of what to take where. My understanding is I don't need to take all the courses in each category, so I will prioritize sophia classes, followed by study classes, then elsewhere if needed. Yellow courses I'm seeking clarification on from TESU.
WGU only gave me around 7 courses (including the ACE credits), where TESU I am basically halfway done with the bachelors. I have attached that evaluation as well for the CS degree.
My current career is Emergency Manager / Response where I participate in a lot of IT projects.
Essentially, I want to take as many classes as possible at Sophia/Study, then take the bare minimum at TESU. Opinions? I appreciate it.
