TESU BSBA or EC BSBA?

[BrendaB]

So far my son has passed the following CLEP exams:
College Algebra, College Mathematics, PreCalculus, US HIstory 1, Analyzing and Interpreting Literature,  American Government,  Principles of Macroeconomics.  

He has passed the following Sophia Learning courses: 
Accounting
Approaches to Studying Religions
Environmental Science
Human Biology
Introduction to Business
Introduction to Ethics
Introduction to Information Technology
Microeconomics
Project Management
Visual Communications

Introduction to Statistics
English 1 (in progress) 

Before the 24 RA requirement,  he was planning on obtaining his BSBA at COSC.   Now, trying to determine if it is better to get his BSBA at TESU or Excelsior College.  Which do you think is best?   Which do you think is easiest? 

Thank you

How old is he? You have to be at least 18 yo to apply at TESU but can be younger at EC

Obviously TESU is easier in that you only need 12cr of UL in the AOS (plus capstone). EC requires more UL credits, and accepts fewer in from providers like Study.com.

TESU is more expensive ($6594 now for tuition & fees), but they are ACBSP-accredited (silver standard) and have more concentrations.

EC is cheaper ($5300 for tuition & fees), and if you actually want to take a couple of extra courses there, the price is right ($5850 for 13cr, so a whopping $550 extra for 6cr of extra graded credit). Also, if you take the General Business concentration, they do not have the silly "must take courses in 3 different areas" nonsense that TESU requires, which I appreciate.

Either school is fine, it just depends on what your priorities are.

This is helpful information.  Thanks!
Does EC require UL credits to be in AOS?  Or can you take any UL credits?

Of course they require UL credits in the AOS - I don't know of any schools that don't.  You can go online and look at their catalog to see, but I think they require 21cr UL overall in the major, with 9cr minimum of that being required in the concentration.  Not sure how many of the remaining 9cr of UL must be in Arts & Sciences (their "GE") and how many can be in Electives (free electives).

They also have the option of an UL cornerstone, which is helpful.  Most cornerstone's are LL, but there are 2 options at EC, and I would do this to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Thank both of you for your helpful advice.
