This would be arguably even better than "just" a BS Comp Sci. It opens up more job opportunities than just a standard Comp Sci degree.Can you explain the little additional effort further? CS requires at the minimum, Calc 1, Discrete Math, Stats. Math degree requires those WITH Calc 2, 3 Linear Alg, then 15 math electives ?
Due to the courses that SeriouslySylvia has already completed, most of the math degree requirements are met.

For the BA Math, Calc I-IV requirements have been met. Linear Algebra has been met. Stats has been met. While it's true that the existing math isn't UL, there are still 15 UL AOS electives + Additional 12 AOS electives to meet this requirement.
Coopersmith's "Concepts in Math and Quantitative Analysis" uses ProctorU, so may not be a good option. Coursera's SAS Advanced Programmer Certificate is a good option, however, because it's completely unproctored. SeriouslySylvia also appears to have 27 UL Comp Sci credits. Take some LL Comp Sci credits from Coursera and/or Study.com to be able to use some UL Comp Sci credits in the Math degree without overlap. That maybe leaves 1 or 2 UL Math courses from TESU. Example:
AOS Electives for Math (pick 15 credits, depending on circumstances):
- SAS Advanced Programmer Certificate (UL) @ Coursera
- MAT-301 History of Mathematics (UL) @ TESU (no proctoring)
- MAT-351 Mathematical Modeling (UL) @ TESU (no proctoring) - May or may not be needed.
- Precalculus 1 (already taken, LL)
- Precalculus 2 (already taken, LL)
- SAS Programmer Professional Certificate @ Coursera (LL math option, does not overlap regular Stats class) - may not be needed
Additional AOS Electives for Math (12 credits):
- Any UL Comp Sci already taken and not used for Comp Sci degree
- Any UL Comp Sci already taken and not used for Comp Sci degree
- Any UL Comp Sci already taken and not used for Comp Sci degree
- IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate (if needed) - CLD-420 would be an UL class that should count here. The ITS credits may or may not apply to the Comp Sci degree. CLD-110 and COS-205 can be used in the Comp Sci degree to replace UL credits that can be used for the Math degree.
For Computer Science, the Programming, Data Structures, Discrete Math, Operating Systems, and Architecture are all UL. This means no more UL credits should be needed in the AOS electives for this degree. Already-taken UL Comp Sci credits will appear here unless replaced by LL ones.
AOS Electives for Comp Sci (18 credits needed):
- IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate - Use at least CLD-110 and COS-205
- Introduction to Information Technology @ Sophia
- IT Support Professional @ Coursera (at least 3 credits, may now be worth more)
- UX Design from Google @ Coursera (6 credits)
Additional AOS Electives (6 credits)
- Introduction to College Mathematics @ Sophia
- SAS Programmer Professional Certificate - If not needed for the Math degree.
- CSM Learn - not video proctored
There can be only 9 credits of overlap between the AOS courses for the two degrees. This also includes the Capstone and Additional AOS Electives, but does not include the gen eds and free electives. Everything in the gen eds and free electives can overlap.
You'll need to see exactly where TESU puts each course in order to decide what actually needs to be taken for these two degrees.
