Pursuing CS Degree at 33 - starting from 0

[origamishuttle]

If I were to go for the TESU BACS today, starting from scratch, I would probably get the UMPI BBA PM&IS first, maxing out transfers from Sophia (and secondarily Study.com, Saylor, and CLEP, as is convenient for you), then go to TESU for the BACS as my second degree. Both of my TESU degrees were second degrees, which was good because I wouldn't have wanted to take any extra TESU courses beyond the liberal arts capstone, which was plenty enough for me! The UMPI degree seems to align perfectly with your current role, so you would probably be able to cruise through in one or two terms by relying on your existing knowledge, assuming you maximize your transfers. After that, TESU is mostly about earning the credential, as the Study.com courses you can do on your own anyway, and the TESU capstone is unrelated to your major.

However, you may also want to consider either the CS degree or Software Engineering degree at WGU:

These are more challenging degrees with more courses aligned with the major, so they will take you further in your learning journey. There is also more at stake financially because each term is over $4,000, so it's best to maximize transfers and strategize on how to complete the remaining courses in a single six-month term.
