Welcome to the board, please re-read this thread, I noticed you followed my recommendation of creating a thread with the addendum and template here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-UMPI-YourPace-BLS-w-Management-Minor-Reference-Plan?pid=421990#pid421990
My suggestion actually is another post/thread of mine, since you've applied to EU, how many credits did they give you in total? The picture doesn't indicate what's missing and what degree that is for. A full evaluation without your personal details would help. Here's my advice: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Teceps-and-TESU%E2%80%99s-RA-req-Their-residency-req?pid=433696#pid433696
UMPI heavy favorite, Excelsior/TESU tied for second as you have several upper level classes that should transfer over... There are other options, but may be slightly more expensive and time consuming. Depending on your transfers and what you need or want... COSC, PUG, WGU, etc are viable options as well.

I agree that UMPI is the best fit:

Definitely apply today if you want to start in the next session.

Normally for fastest and cheapest box check bachelor's, I'm in the camp that advocates for the ETAMU (formerly TAMUC) Organizational Leadership program - but looking over your existing credit distribution, I agree with my colleagues. UMPI BLS w/ Management is easily the best fit to achieve your goals.
