Undergrad Certificate Help!

So, I am trying to decide if I should get a SECOND Undergrad Certificate at TESU after I complete my first one.  You see, I made the decision to go for an undergraduate certificate in Organizational Leadership, in order to "flesh out" and add more "meat" to my B.S.B.A. in General Management.  Really, it was an emotional decision because I felt at the time that I wanted to "major" in something, and that since I was going back to school, I wanted to "get" everything that I missed out on the first few times around.
In hindsight, financially speaking, I would have been better off getting an MBA from WGU LOL!!!  But that's neither here nor there.  Big Grin

The point is that currently I have one class left for my Organizational Leadership Cert. Once complete, I would have 10 total credits earned through TESU.  The Residency Fee Waiver to graduate would be $2,800 currently.
To waive the fee, I would need to take just two more classes. To get another undergraduate certificate, I would just need to take three more classes.  Using the Study.com tuition discount if $379 per credit, that would mean a total cost of $3,411.
So, for roughly $600 more I can get another ug certificate and have my job pay all of that (the entire certification) or I could pay the $2800 out of pocket and just be DONE!!!  After 20 Years, JUST BE DONE!!!
What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Not clear about something. Have you already graduated with the BSBA OR has the degree not been conferred?

Not conferred, add another AOS to the BSBA.

If conferred, I honestly don't why anyone would spend thousands of dollars (even if employer paid) for another undergrad certificate. Use the funds to get a graduate certificate from somewhere else. Another option. Complete a MicroMaster's from EDx, transfer to one of the schools that accept, take one or two additional courses and get a graduate certificate from an Ivy league school. The cost would be about the same as your current route of undergrad certificate from TESU.
