Associates in Computer ... something?

Employers aren't going to compare courses for every CS applicant. They know that all CS programs cover the basics. Transcript reviews are usually done either when multiple degrees are acceptable but may not have all the desired courses or when someone with an unrelated or semi-related degree applies.

For example, I came across a lab job that wanted a degree related to biology or chemistry, but the applicant needed 3 credits each in genetics, microbiology, and biochemistry. These at required in biology programs, but not chemistry programs.

At interview, they're going to be asked CS questions. At least here in Boston they are. I would suggest that any hiring person is going to see "BA CS" as very unusual among the pile of BSs, and look more closely at transcripts. And when they get to interview, if they haven't even *seen* most of the CS core classes (vs. the Wyoming curriculum), their Github is empty, they don't have a clue what a core dump is, or ARM vs x86 processor architectures, or the necessary OS conditions for deadlock (all common entry-level CS grad questions, at least around Boston)...then a) they're unlikely to be competitive against kids with full CS degrees who did take compilers, architecture, and OSs; and b) they've wasted some serious cash @ TESU for a not-very-CSy CS degree.
