I'm curious as to why OP is not starting at the school they plan to attend. If they're planning to save time, then they might only have one option. They should also look into whether their prospective school accepts CLEP, DSST, etc. Or, maybe they should just focus on earning general education credits online, which don't need AACSB accreditation.
Penn State World Campus is probably the cheapest and quickest option for online AACSB-accredited business majors.
If you max out your transfer credits, you could earn a degree there for as little as $16,576 using the flat-rate terms or $25k paying per credit.

OP said, "Cost is not a huge concern."
The OP is looking to transfer credits to a specific school, for some reason. So, I imagine there has to be some advantage to doing the first years online at a different school.
I'm not sure what the exact situation is for the OP. Do they plan to attend college out of state and want to save as much money as possible before paying out-of-state tuition plus room and board? Typically, flagship-type colleges limit CLEP transfers if they allow them at all and may also limit transfer credits from other colleges.
'Self-paced' usually refers to credit-by-exam (CBE), but online courses can also be somewhat self-paced, though they typically have deadlines for things like forum posts and papers. (It helps if you can work ahead.)
That's one of my pet peeves. LOL. I hate when schools call their courses self-paced just because they're asynchronous. If there are deadlines every week or every other week, it is not self-paced.
CBE (competency-based education) programs are self-paced and allow for acceleration. Correspondence courses, which are getting harder to find, are usually self-paced. Central Texas College offers self-paced courses; the deadline for all assignments is at the end of the term. This is more for people wanting flexibility than acceleration.
I've seen TESU students turn courses into self-paced by simply waiting until the last two weeks of the term to submit all assignments at once, without worrying about late penalties. Lol.

In addition to what was mentioned, you should also take some time to review recommendations on this main sticky thread, there are several AACSB accredited institutions that I would highly recommend: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...der-1-Year

Although that thread focuses on master's programs, it could have leads to schools which also have online undergraduate courses.

I'm curious to why your search results showed only ACBSP schools. Is it possible that you accidentally Google "online ACBSP schools" instead of "online AACSB schools"?

That's correct, I would create a shortlist from just the ones mentioned in the thread and see if they have inexpensive undergrad offerings. Some might even allow up to 50% or more transfer credit using alternative credit options such as CLEP, AP/IB, challenge exams, etc. As a secondary measure, also do a search of AACSB and see which ones may have been mentioned in other threads, then make a final decision of your top 3 choices and a backup or two.

I saw "Im currently searching for an AACSB accredited online business school. "
I missed some of the context of looking for CBE AACSB and looking to transfer to another college later.
Sometimes, I don't have the time or patience to read every word. And I'm so used to seeing the template when asking for degree advice.
