Second Bachelor’s with FlexPath?

[dfrecore]

In general, schools don't make you start over when getting a second bachelor's degree - they mark all GE and Free Electives as completed, and you just do the major/concentration; plus any pre-reqs (so for a business degree, it would be College Algebra or some other math, Stats, Macroecon, Microecon, and maybe a few others depending on the school). They also then look at each individual course to see if you've done anything for the degree; so as an example, if you took macroeconomics or Calc, they'd mark those courses completed. Generally you also don't need to do the cornerstone.

At TESU, it works out to be 60cr for everything you need for the business degree. At COSC it's 45cr. At EC it's 51cr. I'm assuming with COSC and EC that you don't have to take the cornerstone (or Info Lit at EC), for 100% certainty you don't at TESU.

Prices at the Big 3 (capstone only):

COSC $1,717
EC $3,710
TESU $5,097

For that price, I would certainly do COSC, and it's an easy one to do. You can use Sophia and Study.com for all of your courses, and so I'd take Macro & Microecon, then take Stats (it won't count for anything but I'd still take it). Then switch to Study.com and do everything else, and then enroll at COSC and take the capstone and you're done. Of course, I'd call first and make sure that you don't have to take the cornerstone. Oh, and I'm not sure that they will take Business Stats from Study.com, so you'd have to take it through ALEKS for $20/mo.

UMPI is going to require more work since you have to do 30cr there minimum - and that will certainly take you 2-3 terms I think (it's a guestimate). In this case, I think you're better off at one of the Big 3, because you can know your costs up front - you KNOW exactly what it will cost to do the capstone and all of the fees, and so your only question is how quickly you can complete everything through Study.com and Sophia. But you're not plunking down $1400 up front to see if you can go quickly.
