Oral Comm
College Algebra (unless they will count your Math Analysis for Business as meeting that requirement)
Ethics
American Government
Science/CompSci (4cr min)
Intro to Computers
Prin of Marketing
International Business
Business Comm
and the cornerstone/capstone.
All of the required courses are LL, and you could probably do them pretty fast. I'd either do Study.com for the whole shebang, or do Davar for as much as possible with the "Business Class" deal, and the rest through Study.com or SL or whatever. Someone who has speech.
If you opt for Study.com with or w/o and Davar, then all transcripts would go straight from the course provider to TESU, meaning no cost for a transcript and no need to set up an ACE account/transcript if you didn't want to.
Excelsior doesn't have the ACBSP accreditation, and the cost is similar to TESU, so I wouldn't bother. COSC maybe if you were only looking at cost, but they do have the science w/lab plus another science requirement. (TESU & COSC require science but no lab, and TESU will allow CompSci instead).
Can you elaborate on why those classes you have listed would not be satisfied by some of my previous course work. It's not that I don't trust your analysis I'm just naive to this whole thing. Why wouldn't intro to computers be satisfied by CSC 118 which was a intro computer science class? Or International business be satisfied by ECON 443 which was a class that was entirely based on International trade.
Any info helps. Thanks!

I would recommend you take your BSBA General Management or another AOS because of the 3 reasons I chose them over COSC and Excelsior
1) They got upgraded to University 2) Received programmatic accreditation - ACBSP 3) Courses are easier to find at the UL and for cheaper. If you read my Beginners Guide sticky link in my signature, I have the BALS/BSBA templates in a spreadsheet view and mainly using ACE recommended credits from StraighterLine/Study.com
In fact, since you're such a smarty pants (mainly A/B grades), you may want to go for a Masters at WGU. For undergrad, I recommend the Big 3 and I would usually recommend WGU for grad school. Undergrad is better at the Big 3 as they are true B&M state universities or private non-profit colleges, WGU is exclusively online.
TLDR: Apply to all of the Big3, including WGU since it's free. Get that BSBA from whoever gives you the most transfer. Finish the Masters at WGU! Good luck, if you have further questions, you can post them in this thread.
Okay so I guess Im in a decent spot. I'm going to pose a hypothetical situation so I can better understand your response. If let's say I get accepted to TESU and have to accumulated 29 credit hours to graduate how many of those can I test out of? The vibe I'm getting from the sticky is that I can test out of nearly all of them. Is this correct?
Also, If I were to do a combination of testing out of classes and taken certain other classes to qualify for graduation do you have any idea how long it has taken others in the past to do so? I'm trying to put a timeline together for this whole thing. Thanks!
