Two Bachelor's Degrees Planning Advice
#1
Question 
I'm not sure if there's a new member thread to post in, but hello! I've been lurking around this site for the past year and I wanted to finally dive in. I hope with this post I can also help someone like me looking for a sign to keep pushing and get that degree. :)

Your Location: Louisiana, United States
Your Age: 24
What kind of degree do you want?: Bachelors in Communications & Bachelors in Computer Science
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
University of New Orleans (35 Credits)
FIAR 1*** Drawing 1
MATH 1*** Survey Math Thought (Supplemental Math)
MATH 1*** Survey Math Thought (Supplemental Math)
USTY 1001 University Studies
BIOL 1001 General Biology 1

SOCL 2001 Intro Sociology
CMST 1061 Communication Fund
(Note: Majority of my credits from UNO did not transfer between the other schools, even though I was told they met the same qualifications. Don't know what that means or if that will affect my degree plan.)
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Any certifications or military experience?:
Budget: 10 to 15k is my starting estimate, but cheaper is better! Less than 10k would be amazing...
Commitments: Just a full-time job during the week, and a part-time gig on the weekends.
Dedicated time to study: Realistically about 5 hours a day after work, and ~8 on the weekends.
Timeline: I'd ideally like to be done in less than a year for the first one, and no more than 2 years for the second.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement:

I've already began putting together a plan for my possible Communication Studies degree @ TESU, but I'm running into trouble with filling in the missing core class sources. I enjoy my current school and the program I'm in, but financially (and mentally) I need a degree sooner than later. If I can transfer my credits back to the school to finish my CompSci degree, then I'd consider going back at a later time just to check it off, but if it isn't worth it, then I'll get my 2nd degree at TESU or another school. I would like the path to be open to getting a Master's degree as well later in life, preferably in Computer Science.

I also don't know if I'm able to "start over" in a sense? My grades were barely passing at some point, so if I need to gain credits from scratch, I'm in a much better place to reasonably to so. Thank you all so so much in advance :)
