please help me finish my tesu or exc degree plan

The personal finance DSST and Sophia's Principles of Finance do not duplicate one another at TESU. You're good there. Unfortunately, DSST MIS does not come in as UL credit. It's a 200-level.

Although cost and ease of transferring credits seem to be unrelated, they are really one and the same thing. For instance, Excelsior accepts many fewer classes in transfer than TESU does and you could wind up having to take some courses from them. COSC also doesn't accept as many sources, plus they have the RA requirement, again driving costs up. Because of these issues, they're all roughly in the same ballpark as one another as far as anticipated costs go. Because of this, TESU is almost certainly going to be the best choice for you here.

The wiki has a list of Sophia equivalencies. The DSST list for TESU can be found at https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/dsst Definitely do as suggested and complete everything at Sophia that doesn't duplicate what you've already done. Unless it was specifically managerial accounting, Sophia's Accounting would probably duplicate what you've taken previously.

Good news about personal finance vs principles of finance.  

After I wrote my initial post, I realize the relationship between the cost and ease of transfer were virtually the same thing.  You did a great job bringing cohesion to it in a concise manner.

I'm planning to take all the classes at Sophia that shouldn't duplicate and ask an advisor about the remaining options.  Since ACE is forcing us to make a choice quickly, it appears it won't be too long before speaking with an advisor and getting a more solid degree plan.
