Shortest Path to Bachelors in CS?
#1
Hi everyone, I have a slightly different request.

I have 2 degrees already and I am 90% finished with my third.

B.S. in Accounting & Finance
M.S. in Computer Science (90% completed)
J.D. Juris Doctorate (Law).

Even though I (almost) have a Masters in CS, for various reasons certain applications I am interested in require both a Bachelors and Masters in CS.  With my current undergrad major, I do not meet that requirement.  So I want to understand what would be the fastest way to use some of my credits to obtain a Bachelors in CS.  It doesn't matter what school it comes from, just looking for the quickest solution.  Cost matters too.

I am assuming that the courses I earned in undergrad and my masters could not be applied to another degree?  I would love to be wrong about that.

B.S. Degree (145 cr) - my college gave me 28 transfer credits from AP courses on my transcript, but I still met the requirements of the degree without those credits. I assume the AP courses are not usable because they appear on the transcript?
M.S. Degree (27 cr + 3 planned)
J.D. Degree (88 cr)

But if we are only looking at the coursework that has not been applied to a degree yet, here is my "extra" coursework:

Python Computer Science I (Community College, 3 cr)
Computer Architecture & Organization (Community College, 3 cr)
Java Computer Science I (Community College, 3 cr)
Artificial Intelligence (Community College, 3 cr)
Data Structures & Algorithms (Quarter-based college, 2.5 cr)
Discrete Math (College extension school, 3 cr)
Linear Algebra (College extension school, 3 cr)
General Chemistry I (Community College, 4 cr)
General Chemistry II (Community College, 4 cr)
Organic Chemistry I (Community College, 4 cr)
Organic Chemistry II (Community College, 4 cr)

Planned: (I know this forum has workarounds for these classes but I need letter grades direct from schools for these calculus courses)
Calculus & Analytic Geometry I (Community College, 5 cr)
Calculus & Analytic Geometry II (Community College, 5 cr)

Let me know what you think.  I am looking at TESU currently, but I'm not sure how my degree would be structured given it would be essentially a second bachelors.
