Next Step - Bachelor's Degree
#1
In a little over a week, I will be graduating from the local technical college, Madison College, with an Associate's Degree - Administrative Professional.  Not sure if it is helpful but I did graduate with PTK (Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society)

I am looking for input on my next step on the road to a Bachelor's Degree, here are my preferred majors:
1. Business Administration
2. Public Administration
3. Marketing
3. Legal Studies
Which would you rate the easiest, based on the availability of low cost, online courses? 

I have completed all the free ACE credit courses (I think)  including:
1. Ethics & CPCU Code of Professional Conduct (American Institute for Chartered Property Casual Underwriters)
2. Self Study Course for Community Safety Educators (NFPA)
3. Developing Effective Teams (Sophia)
4. Essentials of Managing Conflict (Sophia)
5. Cyber Security for Business Professionals (Texas Engineering Extension)
6. Cyber Security for Everyone (Texas Engineering Extension)
7. Cyber Security for IT Professionals (Texas Engineering Extension)

Thank you!

A BSBA will be your cheapest/easiest best, since there are an abundance of UL courses available.  Either General Business/Management or Marketing are easy to find.

COSC or TESU will be your best bets, depending on what kinds of courses you're bringing into the program.  If you post the courses (including course #, course name, number of credits, and grade if less than a C), I can help you with a TESU degree plan, and I'm sure others on here can tell you about a COSC degree.

-------------------

EDIT: I just looked at your degree, it's an AAS, and the courses are going to be difficult to bring into TESU because there are very few Gen Ed's, and very few core courses that TESU requires.  So you may want to apply to COSC and see what your courses come in as.

You may also want to look at WGU, it may be a better fit (and the AAS may satisfy a lot of the GE's).  It's usually free to apply there.

I also recommend the TESU BSBA or WGU BSBA, both of them have the Business Management/General Management option and also the Marketing option. If you've read what I mentioned before in a few posts, TESU/WGU have ACBSP accreditation for a more recognized business accreditation compared to Excelsior's ICABE and COSC who just has RA...

Another reason to chose TESU/WGU is that of the name, they're Universities vs Charter Oak/Excelsior which are colleges. The application fee to Excelsior/WGU are free if you can get the waiver for WGU or have taken SL/Study.com for Excelsior. Anyways, apply to them all, see who gives you the most credits and allows you to finish cheaper/easier/faster would be my choice!

Thank you!

Congratulations!! And especially congratulations on your scholarship- depending on the school you choose ,that could really pay for a big chunk of it!! Our moderator here (Rebel100) has a daughter that earned that scholarship and used it to pay for her degree through Harvard University's Extension campus. Harvard isn't easy, but they would accept your transfer credit (some CLEP) and you could use your scholarship.

They have a Bachelor of Liberal Arts with various specializations - including business administration or legal studies, both on your list.
