Newbie...I think I am overthinking this and its paralyzing

No. You can have a degree in underwater basket weaving and get into an MBA program as long as you have the prerequisites.

This is it exactly. Given the grad schools listed, I'd suggest getting any Bachelor - Biz because it will automatically come with the prerequisites (or 99% of them) required of most MBA program admissions templates, but the difference between NAU's Small Biz BA and TESC's or most other standard BSBA's is minimal, and from what I glanced at when it first came out, includes the same prerequisites. I think I only saw one or two courses of difference in the Biz requirements. From what I've seen, the only things that make them not as common here is that a) they're new so most of us were already in-progress or done before they came out with their program, and b) their transfer policy is not as lenient so if you've got a lot of credits to transfer from elsewhere, they might not be as attractive. For individuals starting from scratch or close to it, though, I can see their program as almost costing less and being just as fast (possibly faster) than the Big3 choices.

Also, all of its credits are graded, and you're guaranteed a 3.0 GPA due to the way their program is set up (you can shoot for higher, but you do not progress to the next course until you've earned a B equivalent), so that answers GPA requirements for grad admissions. A BA versus a BS will not make much if any difference, though, because GPA and course prereqs are typically all that is sought.

That said, you can choose any Bachelor-Biz from whatever is most cost-effective and easy on your timeline and still meet those requirements. Like clep3705 said, save your pennies with your undergrad, and use those pennies for pricier, more quality grad school name recognition. Your highest level degree is the name most hiring managers consider.
