TESU, COSC & EC (the Big 3): a business degree will range somewhere between $3200-$6600 for tuition at the school for 6-7cr, and then any additional costs will be the remaining credits you'll need from outside sources.

UMPI has a competency-based program, and you can probably finish a business degree w/a concentration in Project Management for less than $5k.

I can help you with a degree plan - but you used course numbers and course names as what one of your schools brought them in as, rather than what they were at each individual school, which makes it hard to figure out.  Like, I'm assuming "BU 213F Personal Financial Management  (3)" is Study.com's FIN 102: Personal Finance, but I don't know which English Comp course you took at Study.com that whatever school brought in as EN 113.  So your better bet is to use the course numbers and course names that the original school called things.  Also, you need to put the completion date for the English Comp course you took at Study.com because TESU will only accept it based on a certain completion date.

Also put the date you completed ALEKS' Intermediate Algebra course, because that stopped being ACE-approved at some point.  The completion date will make a difference.

Once you fix that, others will be able to chime in as well.

I've wasted so much time and money. I really just want to finish my bachelors degree and change careers at this point. I'm interested in almost any degree for a professional career. I'm located in West Tennessee, our criminal justice sector is flooded and almost impossible to get a job in. I'd like to lean more towards project management, business administration, science or engineering. Right now, Grantham is looking really good to me. I am currently enrolled in ASU but it is SOOO expensive. I haven't registered for a class yet. Here is what I have. I will warn you, I've been ALL over the place on this journey....

Sophia
Public Speaking
4 business courses

Study.com
Business 318: Management Ethics (gets you an UL, a business, and an Ethics in 1 shot)
3 UL Business courses
3 UL psych courses

Then transfer everything in, sign up for the cornerstone and the capstone, and you're done
________________________________________________________________________________________

UMPI's BSLS with a minor in Project Management is also a good one. Take the following:

Sophia
Ethics
Environmental Science
Any non-duplicate course

Then transfer everything to UMPI, and take 10 courses there:
Foreign language requirement
Hands-on art requirement
the 6 minor core requirements
any 2 courses that will go in free electives

And you're done.
____________________________________

Between the 2 schools, it's a toss-up as to ease, speed, and price - very close.  They should both take all of your courses, there's tons of space in free electives for everything you have in either degree plan.  I think the main reason to do UMPI is the Project Management minor.

If you want a true business degree, you will throw out a lot of credits, and have to take the business core.  A lot of that can be done via Sophia and Study.com, so it's not terrible, but it's definitely not going to be as fast as a BSLS/BLS degree, which I would call a "business lite" type of degree.

Next up, decide on your degree and school.  It seems we're moving from Biology to Engineering, Grantham to ASU, to the Big 3 and CBE programs... you need to sit down and decide on that as it determines the course of action and courses needed to complete that specific degree at that institution of your final choice... Furthermore, I noticed you may be eligible for Pell Grant/Fin Aid... are you going to apply?

Final thought, since you're a decade younger than me, I think you should do a double double at TESU!  Haha, get the BSBA for the check in the box degree, and get a BALS NSM with Bio/CS/Math for your future Masters degree.  Take 16-18 residency credits using your Pell Grant and only take courses that can't be transferred into the degrees... and that is *IF* you got the energy/money/time.
