TESU Aviation Management Degree

[jethomasjr]

It's been a while since I have been on instantcert.com due to working a lot of hours. My year is winding down and I'm not going to make the $200k like I thought I would. I'm hovering around $145-$150k and I have two full work weeks left before I go home for Christmas break. I saw a job posting on indeed.com the other night and I submitted my resume and received a call from a recruiter. I meet all of the criteria for the position. The job itself only requires an Associate Degree for education level and a whole bunch of knowledge in the field. I have an Associates Degree and I have all the knowledge they ask for. The position is Director of Quality. I'm pretty sure someone with a Bachelors or even a Masters Degree would get the job over me. With that, I thought I'd jump on TESU web site to see if they offered a Bachelors Degree in Aviation Management and they do. Below is the degree outline but, I'm confused as to where to start. I have an AAS Degree from the Community College of the Air Force in Aviation Maintenance Technology. I have finished the 15 hours of  Gen Ed courses required for the CCAF degree. I was going to go to school and finish my Bachelors with Liberty University but, the job I am working came a long and I couldn't pass it up or the money. Also, with TESU I can CLEP a lot of my Gen Ed classes I will need. This will speed the process up faster to get to the finish line with a Bachelors.   

I will finish this degree or would like to finish it within the next 1-2 years or even less if it is permissible. I need help with articulating where to start or a plan.
