So I am finally taking the Capstone for BSBA GM.
However, I noticed I only need 3 more classes and the capstone for a BALS Computer Science.
Is it worth it? Should i go for it?
Also, my evaluations show I completed the following:
Operation Mgt Cert
Computer Science AS
General Studies AA
Also need Associate Capstone for:
Applied Computer studies AAS
Administrative Studies AAS
What are your suggestions? What is allowed?
In progress:
TESU or UMPI
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG CIS AOS
Bergen Community College - AS BA
Sophia - 15 Courses, InstantCert - 7 Courses, Study.com 1 Course
Coursera - Google Digital Marketing
Coursera - Google IT Professional Certificate
Coursera - Project Management
CSMLEARN
Clep - Spanish, CIS, Analyzing Lit

You're allowed 2 Associates, 2 Bachelors, 4 Certificates... My recommendations are the following instead.
Do you have Calculus 1? If so, do the following, if not, skip the AS Math double AOS.
Operation Mgt Cert, AS with both Computer Science & Math, as neither of these two require a capstone.
AAS Applied Computer Studies & ESST instead of Admin Studies, if you're going for the associates capstone.
BSBA GM requires a capstone, the BALS CS also requires a capstone. If you can do the BACS and want to graduate both at the same time, that would be ideal.
However, some like to quickly finish one degree after the other, if so, you'll need to add the cost of another graduation fee, and 24 extra credits after previous bachelors degree conferral, plus the BACS capstone.

AS and AAS would count as 2 separate associates degrees?
BACS would be ideal but it would take me longer... as for the BALS Computer Science is it worth it? Do I have to take both Capstones and or finish both degrees at the same time?

Yes, AS and AAS are two different degrees... Just like the AA and AAS you mentioned in your first post, they're two different degrees. It's ideal to complete the two bachelors at the same time, because of one graduation fee, and there is no need for 24 extra new credits for the second degree. It depends on the person, some want to do the BALS and be over with the degree, others would want to do the extra work and have second degree later...
But wait, there's more... I would skip TESU altogether and do the UMPI BAS with a couple/triple minors of your choice, along with the 3-4 classes that can go towards completion of the MAOL for later. It goes like this (something similar to what you have on your signature already), Pierpont BOG AAS> UMPI BAS> UMPI MAOL. You can do the 3K MBA from HAU if you wanted to instead of the MAOL.
