Which state are you in? That's awesome, you can get some freebie RA credits to use towards TESU's requirements, you just need 15 or so from that institution and get 16 minimum from TESU to waive the residency fee. I would read this post as a reference as why most of us recommended TESU over WGU: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ience-Plan
Since you're starting the journey towards a Bachelors, you may want to do a TESU BA CS/Math or a BA CS & BSBA CIS combo. You can get this done within the allotted 1-1.5 year time frame as you mentioned. You can then ladder it up to a Masters or go into the workforce in Business, CIS or CS related fields. I suggest supplementing these with some inexpensive Business/IT industry certifications recommended on the forum.
Essentially, the 15+ credits you get from the state university, you can use towards the general education/electives area for both degrees. You just then need 16+ credits at TESU to finish off both degrees, I suggest doing two terms at TESU and this will be a first flat rate term (required cornerstone plus 3 easy courses or e-packs) and the second would be for the two capstones.
If you want to see a sample template for a double degree, here's an old one, you can create your own and copy/paste the link from your onedrive or google drive so we can comment on it... BALS/BSBA Double Degree using 5 TECEPS as of Jan 2021: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
