It is right on the TESU website, it fills the requirement for the BACS only - https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/edx-credit

It's interesting that the list does not include TESU's own course. So odd!

One question we have is what happens if you do Computer Science AND another degree such as an Associates degree or another bachlor's?
Does it meet the BA CS requirement but not the others?

We will probably never know unless someone tries it. If one of the people doing it were to add an associates and a second bachelor's, even if they don't intend to get them, then we would get to see.
I strongly suspect that once the BACS is awarded, any second bachelor's degrees would be covered because a first bachelor's covers all of the GenEds.

There hasn't been any reports that it could be used for any other degree except the BACS... Technically though, if someone wanted to do the BACS, and completed all the requirements, they can then try adding a second degree such as an Associates or another Bachelors and ask the admissions/registrar team to place an exception for that one course (as the BACS would already be completed, along with the Associates or other degree in question). I think it'll provide favorable results...

TESU was very specific about my first bachelor's degree waiving the cornerstone for the BACS only and my first associate's degree waiving the cornerstone for the ASNSMM only. I suspect that TESU would require a student to take the cornerstone again at TESU for any degree other than the BACS, unless they came back for a second bachelor's degree after their BACS was conferred.
