Here is a BSBA in General Management and a BALS, both from TESU.
The caveat is that you need to take 7 TECEP exams, as well as the Capstone, to get your residency waiver fee to $0! [...[
Total cost for either degree is $1976!!!
Is that a kind of loophole? Normally, TESU will be about $3000. If I take 7 TECEP exams, will that bring the cost down to $1976? Or $1976 plus the cost of the 7 TECEP exams?
The OP is active-duty military, so not only does he/she get to take CLEP and DSST exams for free, but he/she also gets a special military deal at TESU, where TECEP's count for residency.
Up until last year, regular people could also use TECEP's for residency (I am under the 2015 catalog, and I fulfilled my residency via TECEP's). But that went away under the 2016 catalog.

Pelican, there is no loophole. That is only for service people.
Each school is different and COSC/Excelsior have similar pricing.
TESU Link: https://www.tesu.edu/military/Tuition-Fees.cfm
Application: $75
Graduation: $332
Capstone: $750
Residency Credits by TECEP: 21 X $39 - $819
Total: $1976
I thought I updated the pricing for TESU but only did partially for civilians and forgot the "service people" such as military/navy etc. It depends on where you want to "take all your courses" as I did a calculation for service people, it's cheaper at COSC, but I would still recommend TESU over them for ease of finding course equivalencies.
I updated COSC/Excelsior properly though with two pricing structures showing in the Beginners Guide sticky.
For some reason, I have COSC at $1215 so that's significantly cheaper than civilians, Excelsior is at $2500.
