A lot of those look like they'd be available between Sophia and SDC. But you should check with your institution first and make sure they will accept those courses.

If not, there is a page on the wiki for sources of cheap credit you could knock some of those out at and transfer in from other colleges but again, I'd check and make sure it would transfer first.

Why wouldn't you just take those courses at the school you're at?

Do they take ACE?

We need more info in order to help.

Not trying to spend $800 a class when there are cheaper and shorter class options out there.

You need to find out if they accept ACE before doing anything. You then need to find out what ACE courses they accept and from where. Most schools are very limited in what they accept from ACE.

Looks like you're in luck - they take ACE and they are a Straighterline partner (which also means they MAY take Sophia or Study.com, although no guarantees).

Here's what they'll take from SL:
Accounting I - >> ACCT 200 Elements of Accounting 1
Introduction to Statistics >> Math 210 Elementary Statistics
Principles of Management >> BADM 202 Principles of Management
Organizational Behavior >> BADM 281 Organizational Behavior
Introduction to Communication >> Comm 110 Fundamentals of Public Speaking
Microeconomics >> ECON 201 Principles of Microeconomics
Macroeconomics >> ECON 202 Principles of Macroeconomics

Nothing looks like it works for:
ACCT 201 Elements of Accounting 2

I would check first though - SL is pretty bad about updating their website. Then I'd check for Sophia and Study.com.

I would email your academic advisor asking about StraighterLine Accounting II. Otherwise, take them all through StraighterLine, the courses should all be open book final exams and proctored with ProctorU. The faster you complete, the cheaper as you pay a monthly subscription membership and each course should be $59.

BTW, which Energy associates degree are you taking from them? I know you're laddering into the Bachelors... they have several Associates options I noticed. Oh, and they accept 50% transfer credit from alternative sources into their Bachelors, Certs, Diplomas... the Associates is a strange one, they only need 15 residency credits.

What exactly is ACE?

ACE is college-equivalent credit from non-collegiate providers such as Study.com, StraighterLine, Sophia.org, and so on. There is a similar, but even less-widely accepted, program called NCCRS.

CLEP exams are probably the most widely known and accepted forms of alternative credit.
