I think you realize now that all those other degrees have become a real impediment in terms of cash and time to get the BACS. I dropped the idea of getting the BSBA-CIS when I realized I needed to focus on getting the BACS and then get the MBA as a business degree later on. Since you've basically graduated with the BSBA, which is still a good degree for many careers, just go ahead and grab the diploma before TESU makes any more changes to make it harder and more expensive to get. That BSBA is certainly much more portable and versatile than a BACS, especially if you end up hating IT careers later in life which I've seen happen to quite a number of people.
Well I've been certain of the BA-CS for 5-6 months, and the only reason I considered something else was because I learned additional info about the LDAS, so I spent a day considering it. I found that wasn't right for me.
I somewhat regret doing the BSBA, but I didn't realize until 3-6 months ago that it didn't fit with my plans. There was no way to know before that, because I was sure that I wanted only "any" cheaper, faster degree. (But it happens that I enjoy studying business and found it somewhat easier due to prior knowledge in various business subjects.) I should not have done it, probably, but it was cheap and fast. However, since I have the BSBA, I am looking at the bright side. I really like that I did the Marketing concentration.
Unfortunately I think the BA-CS will take a while (a year), but it's not something I'm planning to give up on. If necessary I will spread it out, however, due to pursuing some other things.
I am still planning to get other degrees, but I feel they fit into a Master plan, and my approach is pretty cheap and fast. The BA-CS is part of that plan.
