Which of the Big Three requires the fewest number of upper level credits? Does it vary by major?

I know TESU only require 12 UL credits in AOS, and I don't think it has actual requirements anywhere else. I also know the COSC is more and I believe that Excelsior is closer to COSC requirements then TESU.

COSC was 30. 15 in the concentration and 15 more.

Bachelor of Arts degrees at TESU require 18 upper level hours (15 + Capstone), so it varies by major. However, Charter Oak and Excelsior both require 30 hours of UL credits.

I went with Excelsior because I have a friend in health care who highly recommended them. Since I'm just getting liberal arts degree, Thomas Edison would be just fine. If I had found this forum first I would have gone with TESU. It isn't a huge deal, but it would save some money. Even though the actual UL tests/courses are similar in costs, I find I'm spending more on study materials.(Wish Study.com had more UL clases) And of course there are just many more LL options.

not only is TESU's UL policy better, but they also accept more courses at the UL that ACE doesn't necessarily recommend as UL.

I think the BSBA only requires 12cr of UL, but mostly because a lot of the courses in the core are already considered UL - Marketing, Management, Finance, International Business, Managerial/Business Comm & Strategic Management (the capstone). Unless you take all of these at a CC, then you will end up getting UL credit for them all.
Otherwise, you need 5 UL courses for the other majors plus the capstone (18cr total). Not bad.
