In my opinion, it's the same problem. Once your resume is in front of a hiring manager, then they will see all that, but when HR is just using their computer system to filter candidates, you might get overlooked because the first filter was Bachelor's in IT or CS. Once you have experience, then that becomes the most important factor, and the exact degree will matter much less.
I think I will think things through then and maybe think about a degree from TESU as well. (As far as I know they admit international students) But if I go with the BLS I will probably prepare going for some kind of graduate degree afterwards (More education cant hurt) That could fix the automation screening issues for my resume and If I find a subfield I like I can specialize further. TESU might be a bit tougher with transferring classes in if the major has specific requirements so if it comes at a significant time cost I will do UMPI.
