My degree plan for TESU BA in CS; thoughts/recs?

[bruh]

@bruh, that's a great first post! Very informative and you've got a draft list/plan of how you would like to take your courses.  I would focus on three things. 1) Completing your credits and updating it in a spreadsheet, link us to that on your one drive or google drive  2) Adding an associates in CJ or BACJ as a second major  3) Decide on residency waiver, 16 credits, or military tuition

1) Your main goal is to get the credits required for your degree, you can start with the alternative credits first, or go for the RA through TECEP exams, accumulate the credits and continue with that... As sometimes plans change or course offerings are available from other providers, update your spreadsheet with those changes

2) Adding the AAS CJ is a great idea, if you have the energy, money, time to go further to a double degree, that would work as well.  You need to decide if it's worth the extra energy, money, time spent to achieve that second Bachelors.  The AAS CJ is practically complete if you replace the electives with the degree requirements. The BACJ is just 15 credits more...

3) Tuition option, you need to decide if you want to complete the 16 credits for residency, pay a residency waiver fee, or 'wait' until you get into military service to complete the remaining requirements of the degree(s). This will change from your current plans to finish before you turn 20, it'll most likely be later than that depending on the way you want to finish...

Thank you @bjcheung77! When I discovered degree hacking not even two months ago and then DegreeForum a few weeks later, I saw that I was entering a whole new world. I read the tip that we should do the heavy lifting when it comes to degree planning, so I wanted to make sure to start off on the right foot. 

As soon as the activity on this thread comes to an end (probably tonight or tomorrow), those credits shall be as good as mine, hehe. I think I'm gonna eat through the easiest Sophia courses first to build up some momentum (and also for encouragement :p). I'll make sure to update that spreadsheet I attached to my first post too. It's personally so exciting to see the changes and realizations I've made since starting this thread.

Getting an extra degree was nowhere near my radar either. So awesome that @natshar mentioned it. I'm gonna go for the BACJ I think. How should I go about that? I've been browsing through some of the existing threads that discuss getting a second bachelor's. Is there a dedicated thread/wiki somewhere on here that details the process too? I'm wondering to what extent would TESU allow my courses that I'd use to accomplish my BACS to fulfill reqs for my BACJ. For example, if I ever go for even more TESU degrees in general (not just BACJ), would I not have to worry about general eds + electives anymore? Would the AOS be my only concern (provided I apply 24 new credits)?

I think I'll also 'wait' until I finish military training to finish my degree. It's all good if I don't finish before turning 20, hehe. In case those plans fall through though, I'll do the 16 credits option. @rachel83az and @dfrecore helped me realize that that could actually be more preferable than doing a lotta TECEPs + paying the hefty waiver fee.
