Here's the Spread Sheet I've been using for a BSBA:General Management at TESU. I'm wondering what I can do to fill in some of the gaps. I'd love to utilize as many cheap resources as possible. Shmoop is always a good option too. I'm hoping they get their Literature classes ACE approved soon. Then I can take some of those. Just not sure where they'd fit in.

Yellow is In process. Green is completed.

I am not sure about most of it, but I think your Prior Intro to computers and Intro to computer science would be considered duplicates. Also Analysis and interpreting literature is still 6 credits at TESC at least their website says. So the other 3 credits could go to general electives

You can't "double dip" Intro to Comparative Politics in both Civic Engagement and Knowledge of Human Cultures. The "extra" 3 credits of LIT-292 from the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature CLEP will go into the General Education electives section, and probably even into the Knowledge of Human Cultures section. And what Linda said about the computer classes probably duplicating.
The business classes (minus AOS) are pretty much exactly what I have on my degree plan.

REgarding the duplication of computer classes. The one I previously took at a CC was Computer Information Systems so should be a CIS-101. The one I'm taking at Saylor should be a COS-101

I think they're different topics too, but TESU may call it a duplication anyway. I think it stemmed from them giving intro to computers courses credit for COS-101 when they shouldn't have. You might have to fight for it later on and it seems about 50/50 as to whether you can ever get mistakes overturned on appeal. In other words, you are taking a risk by taking the Saylor course. At my old school, they deducted credit for intro to CIS after you've taken the computer science course so there is some non-TESU precedent there.

If you look close Saylor only labels it CS101 so I think TESU will call it a duplicate

But the DSST [TABLE="class: table1, width: 100%"]
[TR="class: sub_point"]

- Computing and Information Technology Is COS101 so instead of $25 it would be ~$100 still not too bad

I guess I'll just have to ask them and see what they say. It would be foolish for them to be duplicates since they are clearly did subject material. But I'll have to wait and see what they say.

At TESU, even though the Intro to Computers DSST is COS-101 and the Info Systems & Computer Apps Study.com course is CIS-102, they are considered duplicates. So it's not always about the course numbers.
But it certainly can't hurt to see what they bring it in as.

As someone else already said, Comparative Politics used as your Civic Engagement requirement won't also go into Knowledge of Human Cultures, but the extra 3cr from A&I Lit will go there instead.
I would also take US History II from Shmoop in Gen Ed Electives, since there is supposed to be a lot of overlap between it and Modern European History. And while you're at it, take their Finite Math course, I think it will come in as MAT-110, in Gen Ed Electives. And since you've taken Precalc, do Shmoop's Geometry course as well. Not certain it will work, but can't hurt if you have time left in the month. FYI, I took Finite Math in CC, and TESU brought it in as MAT-110 (it was the course before Stats, and the syllabus for it looks exactly the same as the Shmoop syllabus).
If Business Ethics won't work, you can take BUS 308: Globalization & International Management course from Study.com there.
For the AOS, I would recommend Study.com's BUS 306: Strategic Human Resources Management since there will be a lot of overlap with the regular HRM course. And BUS309: Digital Marketing & Advertising, for your MAR course.
Then, either Study.com or SL has accounting courses you can take: SL has Financial Accounting which comes in as ACC-201 (Int. Acctg) or Managerial Accounting which comes in as ACC-303 (Cost Acctg). Study.com has ACC301 Applied Managerial Accounting which comes in as ACC-301 or ACC302: Advanced Accounting which comes in as ACC-401.
That should fill everything up for you.
