If they're WGU, TESU has a Comp Sci degree that can be done mostly self-paced via Sophia and SDC. The exceptions are the cornerstone and capstone, which aren't technically self paced but can be done on your own schedule as long as you meet the due dates. No class meetings or anything like that. Only taking 6 credits from TESU would cost a bit more than doing 16 credits, so that's something to be aware of, but it's not that much more of you have the budget for it.
It's a BACS, not a BSCS, but for 99% of employment purposes that does not matter. If desired, you can later continue on to Georgia Tech's OMCS or something similar.
It's also possible to get a BSBA CIS and/or a BSBA Finance at the same time for little additional time/money/effort.
I would have to look specifically at my credits in the morning, as I don't have the transcripts in front of me right now. I can tell you this, I would say about 42 Sophia.org credits, about 15 or so community college based credits. Apologies for not clarifying, I have not done study.com yet. I am debating whether or not to do their program. I also have about six WGU credits as well.
I have heard TESU is proctored, not sure if that is true or not. Cornerstones and Capstones in previous attempts are usually good for me, I have usually achieved high scores on them. I am heavily considering TESU as I have seen they have a wide variety of programs, and I generally like the layout as I have seen it. For TESU, I just would like to know if it's proctored and if you might have a link to a degree pathway, that converts from study.com or sophia.org, either way.
For me, whether it's BA or BS, as you pointed out, doesn't matter really at all. Minor differences as far I can tell. I looked into GT's program, that looks like something I would be interested in later. TESU does seem like a good option, just wondering if there are any others. I have heard SNHU mentioned a lot, but as far as I can see, that is not a competency based program, where you take the courses as fast or as slow as you need. Plus the price...
I wouldn't have a problem double or triple majoring to be honest, I have tried it before and it worked out in getting me credits with relatively good grades. Thanks.
