BA Liberal arts cost Excelsior vs TESU?

Also remember that EC requires a lot more upper level credits than TESU, which can be harder and more expensive to find. This can drive up cost.

I would agree with this.

You will need 30cr of UL at EC, and not just in the AOS. TESU not only requires fewer UL credits, but they also accept more credits in as UL than EC or COSC. TESU is also better about bringing in some of the old 6cr CLEP exams as 6cr now, even if they're supposed to be 3cr. They also take the College Comp w/Essay CLEP for 6cr, which EC won't accept.

EC is more liberal in accepting certificates though, so there's always that to think about as well if you have any.

You actually need to plan out both degrees, with costs for the actual courses, and THEN figure out which is cheaper. The fees are only part of the equation here.
