So in my everlasting search to find new and better ways to rack up points on my Navy advancement, I discovered Associate of Science in General Studies from City U.
AS in General Studies | College Degree
This is a 90 Credit required degree but luckily military personnel can transfer 85 of those in and only need to complete the capstone course!
And that also means that your Capstone course is your residency requirement.
I had an unofficial evaluation done with them and am happy to say that they took my ACE credits from ALEKS to fill the math requirements and my military credits seemed to fill the rest.
Also after e-mailing them some questions, I was told that they do accept NCCRS credits.
The school is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

they are also partnered with SL, decided to include course equivelicy page for them.

I started looking around more and decided to go ahead and work on completing a BSBA from tesc since it will allow me to test out of lots.
I may go back and complete the degree from City U for fun if i have the time.

Good luck,
