If I'm doing a TESC BA with two areas of study - Psychology and Natural Sciences - would it be possible to double up with TWO associates degrees, i.e. AA General Studies and ASBA?
I'm planning to complete all of them with just 150 credits; the ASBA credits would come from the general education electives in the BA degree.

What do you mean that the ASBA credits will come from the general education electives? Most business courses are not counted as gen ed and would be in the free electives section of a BA degree.

Oops, sorry. I meant to say that it would fall under Free Electives. :p

I think you can do it, if not in the 150 then almost definitely within 153/156 in case they throw a curveball at you with the Econ/Ethics/Diversity credits. That being said, the AA in General Studies looks bad for this scenario. The AA is in one school within TESC and the ASBA is in a different school. You can't "double-major" your associates that way. If you wanted both you'd have to finish one then the other, which would involve additional fees. Since you are really just packaging a business associates inside a non-business bachelors double-major the AA in General is more than worthless.

Okay, thanks for pointing that out! Are there any options as to the area of study for an ASBA (like the BSBA)?
