Questions about the ASBA from Thomas Edison - Looking for feedback on my degree plan

[Crystal]

Hi, I’ve been researching an Associate in Science in Business Administration degree from 1 of the Big 3 colleges. This is what it looks like it will cost. If anyone has time to review these specs and point out any errors or suggestions, I’d appreciate it!

$3,360     The cost of each test (about $210) times 16 courses
$     75    Application fee to Thomas Edison
$   300    Required TES-100
$1,496    Associates Capstone course
$2,500    Non-resident fee as an alternative to paying for 16 credits from Thomas Edison. I read about a waiver of this fee through Study.com. Does anyone have more information or a link on this?
$   400    Graduation costs

- My plan is to take my first CLEP and then apply to Thomas Edison to lock in a catalog. Is there any reason I should wait to apply?

- I’ll be transferring 3 credits to Thomas Edison from a local community college. I’ve read that the ACE credit bank helps with this, but I didn’t think I’d need it... Is there any reason I should go through the ACE credit bank?

- This is the list of required courses for the ASBA degree from Thomas Edison. If anyone knows a good route to get a particular course (i.e. CLEP, DSST, Study.com, StraighterLine.com etc.) please let me know!
