While I was initially shooting for a BS as I wrap up my Associates listed in my signature) I am contemplating that perhaps a BA would be easier to accomplish in the quickest amount of time. I prefer SL as I am familiar with the format and speed to which I can complete a course I understand well.
Could someone provide advice on this? How far can I get through SL for a BA/BS for COSC?
Thank you

The difference is simply the amount of liberal arts credit. Lots of SL courses are liberal arts. You need 90 for a BA and only 60 for a BS. If using things like business courses or FEMA the BS is much easier. If you have a liberal arts major and can find those type of courses the BA is pretty easy too.
I doubt most employers will much care.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

I notice that you are using 20 FEMA credits. The majority of these will not be given liberal arts credit. In my opinion/experience, the BS is easier to get than the BA at COSC because of what rebel100 stated above (30 additional liberal arts credits for a BA).

A couple of FEMA IS courses do come over as liberal arts, most are applied professional.

Thanks everyone, so to understand keep the course towards the BS as SL has more courses which apply? I suppose I need to chat with a counselor at COSC to see where all of the credits in my sig will apply. I would hate to take a $60-$80 course on SL only ton find it will does apply to the BS program.
I know COSC recognizes the following classes, but do they apply to UL or not: I only know Mgr Acct is recommended by ACE for UL. Unsure of these others: Macro, Micro, ACCT I & II, Org Behav, Per Fin, Mgr Acct, Bus Stat
