Received TESU Evaluation report | BABA CIS

It's listed on their website: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/courses/2019-and-after

What are all the upper-level credit courses available for CIS?  
It's in your spreadsheet and also in my templates in the Beginners Guide post #28/31.

I need to do 14 courses + SOS110 + Capstone. It will cost 6600$, Is it worth? YES, it's worth it!
If I do BS - ITM from WGU, it will cost only about 4500-500$.  You meant $4500 to $5000.
Yes, but you're paying for an exclusively online university at WGU.  I would recommend TESU because you mentioned you're on a visa in the US.  You're not a citizen nor a PR, I would do the same courses that will transfer to both schools.

Shall I do BSBA CIS & BS IT from TESU? Will it reduce costs?  
This I don't get - How do you figure doing more courses will reduce the cost?  If you are going for two degrees, I would recommend you do the BSBA GM/CIS (Dual concentration) and a BACS from TESU.   I looked at your PDF, you should already have the GM concentration, if not, you just need two easy accounting courses - Do another PDF for the BSBA General Management and link it here.

Recommendation:  Most people go for two of the three options from cheap/easy/fast.   However, I go for all three and add a 4th - Value.    You need to focus on 3 things in any field, including IT.  1) Degree, 2) Experience, 3) Certifications

1) A BACS will give you a greater ROI (return on investment) over a BSIT.  Your BSBA CIS will get you in the door just fine in the IT field as it has at least 18 credits in CIS.  It's the experience & certifications that will land you a better position later.
2) I would work on the experience if you're green in the field, work on getting at least 5 years under your belt.
3) IT certifications that are industry recognized play a better role in ROI than getting the "BSIT" degree, as some are vendor neutral such as CompTIA, but many more are vendor specific.

Your Future Studies (Masters):  I would recommend a WGU MBA ITM as it hits all 3, cheap/easy/fast and because it has the ACBSP, it's got that added value.   And because a degree from the Big 3 will be extremely expensive.  I recommend Big 3 for undergrad as they are "private, public or state B&M" schools and WGU for graduate studies as it's an exclusively online university.  There are alternatives, such as other competency based degree programs at the masters level.

Thank you for providing detailed information. I am learning so much about earning my dream American degree. 

I have applied for WGU - IT / Software Development program and they applied for only 6 credits. I need to complete 114 credits more. As advised by you, I will join WGU for masters.

I've 16 years of IT experience in the areas of Project Management, ERP/CRM & QA. I have completed the PRINCE2 Project Management certification, Certified ScrumMaster, ITIL Foundation, IT Service Management Foundation, ISTQB/ISEB Software Testing Foundation, SixSigma Green Belt, Sales Force Admin and NetSuite foundation certifications. 

I am attaching BS IT, BACS & BSBA - GM evaluation reports for review.

BS IT - 60 Credits applied
I need to complete the below courses

Written Communication - English Composition I
Written Communication - English Composition II
College Algebra (or above) 
Information Literacy - SOS-110: Living in the Information Age
Civic Engagement -American Government - POLS101
Physics 1 or Chemistry 1 and Lab
Physics 2 or Chemistry 2 and Lab
Mathematics (Higher Level Math Courses)
GE Elective 1- Principles of Statistics 
Computer Architecture 
C++ Programming 
Software Engineering
Network Technology
Management Information Systems
Technical Core (6SH: must be upper level) 
Current Trends
Project Management

Challenge - I'm afraid of Physics 2 and Lab ( Will they allow me to do Chem 1 & Phy 1 with lab - In the Evaluation report, I could see  Choose two of the following :
CHE­121 4 SH, CHE­122 4 SH, PHY­115 4 SH, PHY­116 4 SH)

Reason for considering BS IT: In India, BS IT is considered as an Engineering degree and only available from Engineering/Technical colleges. Most of my cousins are engineers and only I'm left out. 

BACS -> 69 credits applied
Challenge - Discrete Math and for AOS Electives 12 credits are needed but courses are not listed

BSBA - GM ->81 credits applied

I've completed the below-mentioned courses.
SL: Intro to Communication, Intro to Religion, IT Fundamentals, Physics 1, Accounting 1 and Principle of Management.
CSMLEARN: High Performance
Sophia: Developing Effective Teams
