To start, I agree with what Lady Grace and Cookderosa suggested.
Here's the catch though. There's nothing wrong with having a goal or what not to get a 2yr business degree. But to actually GET it will cost some extra dough. At TESC for example, it's ~3K for enrollment, and $300 for graduation. Enrollment is good for a year, so if it's likely to finish up the reaming two years in a year all's well (a tough but not impossible goal). However, if it takes more then that, you'll have to re-enroll for another 3K AND you'll still have to pay another $300. Essentially, this is what I'm saying, if you wait till you're nearly completed the Bachelor's degree, and then enroll, you can receive both and save ~$3300 (IF you're goal in the end is to have a bachelor's degree from one of the Big 3). You may want to get a 2yr degree from a big 3, and then enroll in a local 4yr college that would accept it. I don't know what you're necessarily after, but thought you may want to be aware of it.
Otherwise, it may be best to just "meet the requirements of a 2yr business degree". After all, they've got the same knowledge as someone else who did it, only the have the paper that says they do, and you have the extra money in you're pocket.
Another note, coming from a 17yr old/homeschooler, my parents never "pushed" me in this direction, though they've always given their support and encouragement, which has been key, at least for me. I didn't start till I was in 10th grade, and didn't finish the requirements for my ASBA till just recently. Not saying one can't finish that young, they certainly can! Just saying the kid has to want just as much. They usually do, and I'm you're probably not pushing them or what not, but I have known parents who've tried to push their kid(s) forward before and usually doesn't turn out as well. Just my 2 cents.

Also agree with Confuscious!It depends when you start, and how hard you focus and work. I started about a year and a half ago and finished the requirements for an ASBA (Associates in Science in Business Administration) a couple months ago. I'm a senior in high-school, and homeschooled as well (be finishing my BSBA in Accounting here in a couple months).
Thank u all!
