Some people here are already directing you towards another major. I'm like you, I enjoy computers. I definitely wouldn't (couldn't) do a business degree. I do not enjoy the content. Regardless of what works best for you, here are my suggestions.
The following link gives you a roadmap to general education.

One of the challenges is to make sure that you get a sufficient number (30) of regionally accredited (RA) credits. You'll get six from TESU for the two mandatory TESU courses. The remaining 24 will need to come from somewhere else. I came in with previous RA credits so I didn't have to worry about this. Other folks here can probably advise you on what the best choices are.
Some details here on the residency waiver and RA courses

For the Computer Science courses, study.com is where you will get most of the core computer science courses.
Here's the degree plan for TESU CS.

Note that the degree plan does not cover the coursera courses. However, it clearly lays out how to get parts A-F courses.
For the upper level AOS computer science electives (Part G). I suggest the following:
Google Cloud Data Analytics which nets you CIS 3110 Database Management and CLD 4300 Machine Learning in the Cloud
IBM Full Stack which gets you CLD 4200
Both of these also get you some lower level credits as well for the AOS.
I suggest taking a few of the other Google and IBM courses from coursera to get a bunch of elective credit. I particularly enjoyed the IBM Data Science Professional and Data Analytics Professional certificates. For what it's worth, I took several coursera certificates and brought in over 50 ACE credits to TESU. Most are counted as electives. However, for 3 months at 59 dollars a month, it was a bargain!

My advice, start with Couresera and Sophia. They are budget friendly and you can get quite a few credits quickly. While you are doing that, read up on RA credits and figure out where to get a few RA credits.
