I’ve already got some of the classes for cs done. I was doing bsba cis originally and a lot of the classes transfer over it seems. I also have quite a bit of experience with Java and python so knocking out some classes like intro to programming should be a breeze.

If I recall correctly, you're still active as a service person right Zach?  If that's the case, it's only an extra $750 for the capstone.
You'll just have to do a few more Study.com courses for the CS and remaining UL requirements.  

So, end result, BSBA Accounting and BA Comp Sci.  Tuition: https://www.tesu.edu/military/tuition-fees

You've got it good.  That's so much better than what I am going to be paying for an extra BACS degree:
Capstone $1125
Residency $2200
Grad fee: $332
12 courses: $779
BACS Requirements and AOS Total: $4436

I’ve been under the impression that it’s better for me to not use my service benefits, because even though the tuition is cheaper, the residency waiver will cost more. Not sure if this is true but that’s what staff at TESU have told me.

My understanding is that under the military discount you pay a lot less per credit ($250/cr), which means you'd be paying $750 per 3-credit course instead of the full price or $1125/$1089 via SDC discount. However, you also pay full price for the residency waiver (which is $2500 if you're not in-state vs. $2200 for in-state, or if you use the SDC discount). So, you may pay $300 extra in residency fees but you will also be saving $375 over the SDC discount on every 3-credit course you take.

It sounds like you only have the capstone left, so your overall costs will not be that different (you save $75 by using the military discount) but if you still had the cornerstone to take, you'd have saved $450 over the SDC discount.
Sounds like that mil discount will be the way to go then. I’ll have to take the new sos course that is required so that path makes sense.

Good news for the Computer people

I wish they had spread out the new courses just a little, maybe hit some subjects that aren't as well represented, like PolySci, Philosophy, Religion, some of the UL Lit and History stuff, etc, but you can't have everything

Awesome news!  Does that mean the CS310:  Current Trends in Computer Science & IT, CS331: Cybersecurity Risk Analysis Management, CS332: Cybersecurity Policies and Management courses can be used for AOS (elective) UL credits for the BACS?  I believe there's a minimum of 18 credits at 300-400 level to satisfy the degree.  Lastly, would the capstone LIB-495 satisfy 3 of those 18 required credits?  Thanks again!

The UL capstone credit does count, so you'll need 15cr of UL in courses.

I don't think the Cybersecurity courses will work in the CS degree - there is no mention of them on the list of electives.

@dfrecore they may work. I used one of the UL Teex to fill in one credit I was missing.

Wonder how they apply to the COSC Cybersecurity degree. I started to look them up before vacation but now I have spotty service here. Has anyone mapped them yet?

I think it would be a cold day in hell if TESU let's you replace their capstone course with a SDC course.
