Do any of the big 3 have education BAs?

I think we pretty clearly answered your original question: the Big 3 don't have education degrees, and even if they did, it probably is not necessary in your state to get one.  You can get certified as a teacher in most states without an education degree: you just need to take the certification test and get your student teaching done (usually 1 or 2 terms I think).

Here where I live, you're recommended to get a math degree if you want to teach math, an English degree if you want to teach English, a science degree if you want to teach science, etc.  And there is absolutely no need to get a degree in education if you already have a degree in ANYTHING at all, as long as you can pass the test you need for where you want to teach (so if you had a business degree but wanted to teach life science in a high school, you'd need to pass the 9-12 biology test).

If you really want a degree in education + get your teaching certificate as well, then you could do WGU.  They will make you do a good portion of the degree iwth them though- there's not a lot you can bring in.

I agree. She should either complete a master's program that leads to a teaching certification, or get the certification first and complete an education master's afterward. It doesn't make sense to get a bachelor's or master's in education if you aren't certified. 

If she can't afford to do student teaching for a term or two (this is unpaid work), then she should see if her state has an alternative teaching certification pathway that will allow her to teach with a provisional license until she meets the experience requirement.
