This seems a realistic concentration vs no concentration based on what you already have.. You'll need the UL credits no matter what (likely SDC is the best source for them); UL CIS works for the concentration - you wouldn't actually need any more math. With the credits you have I'd go as far as emailing TESU advising and tell them you wanted the BALS eval for the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Concentration (they will add this quickly, and it will be official eval vs just the informal 'what if'). You could also add the ASNSM in Computer Science (that would be a free add on degree)
FOR UL SDC in this concentraion here are the CIS options I know of:
SDC Business 303: Management Information Systems = TESU CIS-301 Management Information Systems
SDC Computer Science 302: Systems Analysis & Design = TESU CIS-320 System Analysis & Design I
DC Computer Science 303: Database Management = TESU CIS-311 Database Management
MAYBE (because it works for the BSBA CIS AOS);
SDC Business 309: Digital Marketing & Advertising = TESU MAR-441 Marketing with Digital and Social Media
This definitely gives you all the "Natural Sciences and Mathematics - aka Understanding the Physical and Natural World" you'd need and the remaining few other UL courses credits you could do in the other Gen Ed UL Liberal subjects.
UL possibilities for Liberal Studies, the concentration of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (not confirmed)
SDC Business 303: Management Information Systems
SDC Computer Science 303: Database Management
SDC Computer Science 302: Systems Analysis & Design
SDC Computer Science 306: Computer Architecture
TECEP Networking or Coopersmith Linear Algebra
By the time you do all the UL for the liberal studies/natural science, you would be only 4 courses away from a Bacholors Computer Science degree
You can move forward and take the Cornerstone/Capstone for Liberal Studies right away as if you were going for that degree and then take the required courses for the Computer Science while doing the Capstone.
