Hey! Welcome to the forum. We've been excited about the BPS. Some thoughts below. Have you employer tuition support?
Professional Core
Leadership 3cr
Project Management 3cr
CompTIA's Project+ certification would get you 2 of the PM credits, but I don't know where you'd get the third. Both of these topics are available as classes from EC, if that helps. I'm 4 cr away from a BSBA, I have project mgt experience, but still found a class useful and fun. Testing out of Leadership might be like testing out of marriage counseling 
EC offers both classes in 8-week format.
Business and Management Core
Human Resources Management 3cr
-- DSST or ECE if you need upper-level
Finance 3cr
-- DSST Finance
Global Business 3cr
Integrated Business and Management Assessment 3cr
-- capstone course, has to be taken at EC
Additional Credit Component
Any Collegiate-level Study 2cr
-- anything you want, I take it you know where to find the CLEP/DSST sites? They are the Ford and Chevy of credit by exam.
Information Literacy 1cr
-- see threads on here about how quick this is
Arts and Science
Ethics 3cr
-- DSST Business Ethics
Natural Science/Math
College Algebra
CLEP or ALEKS or Statistics 3cr
-- DSST or ALEKS

Offhand, it looks like your Algebra, Ethics, HR mang., and likely finance can all be DSST'd. But these titles are generic, so you'd have to see if the specific exam offered by DSST would work for the course # you are required to take....I'd check the DSST website (
DSST - GetCollegeCredit.com) to plan out, and then ask detailed questions to EX, getting it in an email if possible.
Best of luck

This sounds like a good plan. Grouping exams by subject will make studying efficient, since you may cover a lot of the same content areas.
