CS degree help

[swe_labs_nsx]

Welcome to the board, great intro post with the addendum and template, along with other information. At this juncture, I would recommend a Masters level degree in Computer Science or a related field instead of a second Bachelors. I usually recommend a balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience. Here are a few options:

1) If you're adamant on getting a Bachelors, you can do the one-done option at WGU, BSCS and MSCS. They're endorsed in TX and a few other states, even though they're not a traditional institution, it'll give you the knowledge and skills required for most, if not all, that is required in this subject matter...

2) If you're alright with skipping the Bachelors, go for an applied Computer Science program that bridges the gap between a non-CS undergrad, and a proper Masters in Computer Science or related field. There are a few listed in the graduate section, I would go for the public or state institutions for this.

3) MOOC options that may not require an undergrad in CS for entry, review the ones on Coursera/EdX and other options. Some may not require an undergraduate degree, but will have some prerequisite classes, make sure you have the minimum requirements and try to exceed them.

4) You may not need a Bachelors or Masters, I would start with the cheapies or freebies first, such as getting the Coursera/EdX professional certificates in subject matter that interest you and is related to Comp Sci. Even though some of these are not worth credit, you'll fill in the learning gaps and gain knowledge in that area. Some have ACE recommendation for credit towards a Bachelors.

1. I've looked into WGU, heavy on Java from what I understand. I will keep it in mind.
