Introduction:

Hi, I posted about a week ago with some incomplete information. Now, I have gathered all information and I am a bit more prepared. However, I have come back with some new questions.

I'm a single mother, so my only school options are 100% online. Originally, I planned to attend TSTC and enroll in the AAS Cybersecurity online degree. However, through some recent town project, I found that I enjoy creating things like informational and creative flyers/posters. Despite how uncorrelated it may seem, this made me consider a web design/development degree. I looked into that degree route, and I found that there aren't many back-up options with that degree. For instance, completing that degree will really only help you with a career in that field. Right now, I the course that I'm taking on freecodecamp has introduced me to HTML and CSS, which don't seem complicated at all. It honestly just seems like a lot to remember, but it eventually becomes almost like muscle memory. That being said, I know that cybersecurity is similar in that it's more of a specialized degree path. I considered this route because there is much less math involved, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the code of Computer Science. Just yesterday, I had to retake my math TSI (old scores expired) and I barely passed it. Even so, I'm considering computer science more and more because it will offer the greatest general education and then I can hone in on what my skills/interests are in the field.

My original study route was to attend TSTC and get an AAS in Cybersecurity. I've looked into their Computer Science AAS, but there only seem to be 4 COSC courses while the rest are math and electives/basic that I have already completed. Being that my bachelor's route is WGU, I compared the course curriculum and I feel like the AAS from TSTC isn't going to transfer many additional credits. There was an individual on my original post that recommended the Pierpont BOG associate's degree, as that is really the only bang-for-your-buck route. My only issue is that I can't really afford up-front costs of these quicker routes. However, I have a plan to propose - and I'd love some opinions and advice.

Given that I don't have the financial means to complete courses through Study.com/Coursera, etc. would it be a good idea to complete an AAS at TSTC and use that leftover grant money towards completing courses through the Study.com and such to finish a bachelor's degree more efficiently? If I go that route, I see that study.com has self-explanatory lesson equivalence, but I may need some guidance. However, it leaves the question of what degree route to go. If I were able to pass through the college math for the Computer Science route, I think that would be the best way for me to go. I just fear that I'll fail the classes.

As of now, TSTC's CS AAS includes:
COSC 1336 - Programming Fundamentals I
ENGL 1301 - Composition I (already completed)
MATH 2312 - Pre-Calculus Math (3 SCH version)
MATH 1316 - Plane Trigonometry
