WGU BS-CS in 1 term?

Do whatever you can to not take the SQL development courses at WGU. Oracle will bog you down big time. It's a difficult cert full of mintue and Study.com will make your life much easier. Saylor's DB course isn't bad either.

Data Management - Applications     4     
*Computer Science 303

Structured Query Language     4     
*Computer Science 204

Fundamentals of Information Security   3 *Computer Science 110, *Computer Science 202
Taking certs to get out of this one would be rough, the ones listed are a little more time intensive. Study.com would be a good option. I'd do this over WGU

MTA Networking, Database are really good sources of LL credit but Microsoft is getting rid of them by June.

MTA HTML 5 applications or CIW are super easy for web development if you need them.

Java programming is another one you can start getting out of the way. Depending on where your add coding wise there are some good Java resources like Code Academy, Linda, Udemy and others that will get you up to speed faster and is more visual if that's your thing. Just use the certification exam guidelines to make sure you're hitting the write points and use exam dumps to prep for the exam. It doesn't have much to do with your actual programming ability, just syntax and thinking like the JVM.

Oracle Certified Associate (OCA, Java (SE 7 or 8) 6
Oracle Certified Java Professional 6

Saylor Software Engineering isn't bad. If you have any UML experience it'll be a breeze. Saylor programming course Compsci 101, 102 and C++ programming 107 are really good as well, and you can pretty much knock them all out at the same time as Java and C++ are used in all of them. With your credit I don' t think you'll need these courses, but keep them in mind.

That could get you 20-30 potentially, give or take. Maybe a few more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head. Knocking out the two Software I and II and the Database courses would be the best thing to get out of the way fast. Just don't do the Oracle SQL Certification through WGU because it'll likely take you all the way to June just for that one.

Do all of the CompTIA certs for credit at WGU. Study for them in preparation and then knock out A+, Network+, Project+. Artificial Intelligence, Software Quality, and Operating Systems I would do as part of the 30 credits you have to do three.

Honestly, TESU may be the better option for Computer Science than WGU. There aren't a ton of things you can transfer in for credit in the program, they aren't going to take as many credits. Whatever is left that doesn't line up would go to electives, and you'd need 18 CS courses that can bee things like TEEX (10 credits), C++ from Saylor, Google Support Cert. and a whole slew of UL options at study.com and you'd be taking just as many study.com courses.
