Options? Degree in Business

[natshar]

My reimbursement covers all the big 3s. It also covers WGU but I would only be able to take 1 term a year since it would put me above $5k if I were to take two, although at this time of the year it would be fine since I’d start 1 term and then start a second term next year. I’d just need to pay for my term upfront and I’d get reimbursed as I finish classes. It would be a little difficult as far as reimbursement goes just because of the set up. For Ashford the grant they offer covers anything that goes over my $5k limit so essentially I’d pay nothing and wouldn’t need to pay anything upfront. I looked at the BALS but unfortunately my reimbursement wouldn’t cover that specific degree.

I’ve been with my company going on 15 years now. I essentially would like to check a box as the current position I hold and anything lower actually requires a degree. Eventually I would like to go for my MBA but I’m not sure how quickly I can jump into that. Just taking it one step at a time. I’m open to Excelsior or COSC as well but as far as any waivers I’d probably opt out since I need a grade attached to a class for reimbursement.

Ashford might not be a bad option. 
That being said, you can transfer 90 credits total for a degree. So maybe out those 90, only 75 can be alt credit. Consider doing some Arizona State earned admissions to reach the 90 credit mark. ASU courses are only $100 each and appear on the regionally accredited transcript.

They once you have reached the 90 you only have to do the remaining 30 credits at Ashford for free.

However note this policy on the ashford website:

Within the 75 credit nontraditional maximum, a maximum of nine (9) nontraditional credits may be applied toward the major requirements (including additional majors). Nontraditional credits may also apply up to a maximum of 50% of the requirements for a minor or specialization or 100% of the requirements for a transfer concentration. The content of nontraditional credits must be comparable to the content of the replaced course.
