Wow you sure do have a lot of credits already. WGU is out, or not first choice, as they don't accept NCCRS.
Did you check for candidate degree plans at the Big 3 already?
Next you should get an initial evaluation at the schools you like.

Yes! I'm leaning towards TESU but I'm not entirely sure what my ACE and NCCRS credits would count towards because of the descriptions they have (insurance principles, commercial insurance etc.) I reached out to TESU to try and find out what they would count towards but they said I would have to apply and have my credits formally reviewed. With the app fee, residency fee and maybe having to take one or two more courses I'm trying to postpone that as much as possible until I'm sure what they'll count towards

I'm not sure what the current fees are, however for an initial evaluation a residency fee seems off to me but I could be wrong.
Anyway, having them evaluated is the only way to know how they will come in and what they are worth.

Maybe you can find some equivalencies here: https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/transfer-credit
I did find some there for your CC, so be sure to check those and keep track of them in a spreadsheet.

Thank you I’m jotting down the equivalencies that you found @iacussucceed! I’m going to apply this week and have them tell me what my ACE/NCCRS credits count towards. I’ll update my thread once they get back to me

To know where you stand with TESU all you have to do is apply ($50) and send your transcripts.  That will lock you in for a year.

With the credits that you have I recommend you choose the BSBA-GM when you apply.  I'd recommend applying to COSC ($50) for their BSBA as well.  Yes, it would cost you $100 to apply to both (plus transcript fees where applicable), but you'd really know just where you stand and can plan without doubt what is the fastest/cheapest route to be completing your degree. Once you have the BSBA evaluations, you can always see how they would work in a BALS also - but with your existing credits they line up very nicely for a BSBA. 

Once you know where you officially stand with TESU &/or COSC you can plan your next step - the initial evaluations are pretty quick. While you wait I'd suggest you look into an option to earn 'Business Statics' - you can use it for the BSBA requirement at either school (TESU will take any statistics, but COSC requires 'Business Statistics").  I personally used SL, but I believe ALEKS has it also (cheap to try at $20 a month - you could finish within a month), there are other options as well - I just don't know them all.

You only need to pay the $50 application fee (just lowered) in order to get all of your transcripts evaluated. Be sure to send them all quickly so that they are evaluated together in a single "evaluation". The application is good for year before you have to register for a course to convert to enrolled status. Even if you don't, the worst that happens is that you have to pay the application fee again.

Okay I’m definitely going to apply then! I was digging around the site and saw that Alek isn’t good though has that changed?
