And with those extra credits comes with the extra cost, time, etc... You may want to investigate TESU/UMPI and other alternatives...

And that's where people make the mistake, it's not where the max number of credits come into play, it's the overall energy, money, time, spent on completing the degree. I'm going to further explain this in your other thread here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Teceps-and-TESU%E2%80%99s-RA-req-Their-residency-req

Many people are completing their UMPI degree in 8 weeks with 30 credits for $1700. Even 2 terms is only $3400. 3 terms is $5100.
EU: 15 X ($510+$68) = $8670
See the math?

Maybe this is the official death of the Big Three? COSC is barely viable for transferring 114 credits due to almost no UL alt credit transfers. EU killed UExcel exams, which was a huge warning shot, and now they've turned their back on alt credit transfers, arguably even harder than COSC.

TESU is still viable, but you have to jump through hoops. Maybe it is....

TESU doesn't need 24 credits done through them. It possible to only take 6 credits (corner and capstone). You do need at least 30 RA (or equivalent) credits in your degree, but 24 of those 30 can come from anywhere.
Now maybe you don't have all of those 24 RA credits and need to get them from somewhere, but you don't technically have to get them from TESU.

Yes, TESU is still a great option. You should even be able to take the cornerstone through edX to transfer into the BACS, so really only the capstone is required at TESU:

Hey, I just spoke to an admissions counselor and they said you can still bring in 113 credit for a business general degree
