I'm not sure that I agree with "liberal arts being the fastest" considering you only have 24 liberal arts credits. That leaves more than half of even an AA to fill, and about 100 credits to fill in a BA. Maybe they mean that you could test out of everything, which is fast, so in that case that is true.

If PA is even slightly on your radar, you need to plan your BA with serious attention to the prereqs, otherwise you'll have to go back and get those later. I don't know what kind of options exist for you to do lab sciences on campus, but there are good online lab science classes, (I've taken many) and those should be the starting point when planning the degree. If you went that route, you're talking about gen bios 1 & 2 with lab, gen chems 1 & 2 with lab, A&P 1 and 2 with lab, and stats. I'm not totally up on my PA prereqs, so without looking it up, I think you're already at the math- but potentially sociology too. Anyway, if that's your plan, those classes should be part of your BA.

If any random BA is your plan, I think EC is the more "career-credit-friendly" option. Someone mentioned the BPS, that's one option, and of course you have a lot of credit that would count toward the BSN, and finally you could simply pick the BA most appealing to you and go forward. If you are looking at a liberal arts or business degree, I think TESC might be faster, but faster is arbitrary because you're deciding between a degree that takes 6 months vs one that takes 9 or 10? They're all fast- pick the one that will serve your career.
