WGU BS-CS in 1 term?

Regarding your questions about WGU and TESU I'll summmarize a little better. I can be all over the place sometimes

WGU is almost entirely industry certification tests. Some of these tests are very, very difficult without teaching you very much. For CS, the WGU database courses are hard even for experienced folks without teaching decent theory to newbies. The Java certification will probably bog you down pretty hard too. It's only "accelerated" if you are able to cram and pass these tests.

TESU is going to be the same sort of deal as what you are doing with WGU, but you can transfer in way more credits and they'll take way more credits. WGU is very strict on what they will and will not take. TESU will take all of your credits you've got almost for certain, where WGU won't.

TESU will allow a wider variety of courses for CS electives from study.com and you would only need 18 for the major course. The electives can be whatever you want and are able to get done quickly so it's more flexible. Especially with you being a new student vs. someone coming from industry I think it's a better option that you can still accelerate, will give you better courses, and take more of you credits.

Taking the Coursera Google Support Cert. should give you 12 credits to apply

I don't recommend any technology program at WGU for the most part other than the basic BS Information technology because of the hoops you'll have to go through and the knowledge gaps it's going to leave a newbie. Study.com has much higher quality and more diverse courses that can be applied to TESU. The Big 3 are the original WGU in a sense, but without the name recognition.

TESU is going to look a lot better on a new grad's resume just coming into the industry because it's a state school. No one will know the difference between it or Weber State, Murray State or Brower State University. People know what WGU is pretty well by this point and the optics aren't going to look good if that's where your degree is coming from going into the industry without experience. Rightly or wrongly the perception will be there if its a known online school it isn't the same quality and they'll question why you had to get it there. It's worth extra time and effort necessary in the long run from to do TESU simply for perception.
