Edit: So I guess my main question is how much time/money do I save by getting the BSBA at TESU with capstone exam? If I'm already going to Excelsior (or COSC) anyway, maybe I should get the business degree there? I am going to look for some comparisons between the Big Three business degrees. I am leaning toward Excelsior for the non-business degree. Also, I still want to know if my Psych degree would be no longer an option, if anyone knows.

I see that if I act quickly, I probably can still enroll and take the capstone exam, to avoid the capstone course. I'm confused on what to do, because the TESU BSBA seems cheapest and quickest, and I don't want to miss the chance. Speed has some importance to me. Cost is fairly important to me.
First of all, if you saw my other thread, I decided a business degree is more important than IT degree. (I'm not going to do IT, except maybe doing a CIS concentration for the BSBA, if I do TESU's BSBA.)
One of my hesistations is I'm pretty interested in a Psychology degree at COSC because I am close to meeting the requirements. I haven't officially been evaluated but I've read a lot, and it seems that I only need 1 DSST, 4 study.com courses, 1 Saylor, and of course the cornerstone + capstone. This is especially good since I may, hopefully, get a study.com scholarship.
If I enroll now in the TESU BSBA, I believe I'm giving up the option for the COSC Psych degree, because of how my Psych credits would not be "new" anymore, right? Or is that not true in this case? Because 21 of my Psych credits will be awarded by COSC for the GRE. I took the exam years ago, so the credits would have been achieved before the BSBA conferral, but they aren't really credits right now, are they? Until COSC awards them.
For TESU, I would only need 1 Saylor and 1 study.com to finish all my Gen Eds. Could I finish the BSBA in 6 months if I put in enough time?
So I'm confused. If I'm already attending COSC for Psych, then maybe I should do the BSBA there. It's apparently less expensive there, even with the capstone fees.
Then, to complicate matters, I'm also considering an Excelsior degree instead of the COSC. I'm done with Excelsior Gen Eds including Information Literacy. If I ended up at Excelsior, maybe I should do my business degree there. (I'm torn. I want the Excelsior degree the most, by a lot, but being hard to test out of, it would take more time and money, and I'm not sure I can stick to it for so long. I wish I could find something else like it, but COSC/TESU don't have. I'm trying to figure out how many courses I'd have to take.)
I feel that I do need the second Bachelors degree in addition to the business degree. I really need one for an existing line of work, and one for a future endeavor. I don't feel like I would do an MBA or other Masters (except for a "mini-Masters").
