If I were you, I would probably do Excelsior if you don't want to bother with RA credits; or COSC if you want the cheapest price.  They will take your ALEKS courses in the following way:

COSC - BSBA, general concentration
Introduction to Statistics - math requirement
Business Statistics - business requirement
College Algebra - math requirement
Intermediate Algebra - math requirement
PreCalculus - math requirement
15cr total

So the Business Stats would be used towards your degree requirement and the math requirement, and then you'd have 12cr of Liberal Arts courses.  You could do the rest cheaply via Sophia, and then Study.com for whatever that didn't cover.  You'd also need to plan in 24cr of RA somehow - ONU (self-paced courses, $150/course, and they have some UL that would work towards the 30cr of UL requirement); TEL (self-paced courses, $200/course, they have lab sciences for $67); TECEP exams, $150/exam for LL or $225/exam for UL; or UExcel exams (most are $110/exam + $55/exam test center fees even though most are online + additional fee when you transfer into the school.

$3,181 for tuition & fees at COSC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EC - BSB general concentration
Introduction to Statistics - math requirement
Business Statistics - business requirement
College Algebra - business requirement
Intermediate Algebra - math requirement
PreCalculus - math requirement
15cr total

Again, College Algebra and Business Stats would come in as requirements for the business degree, and then the other 3 courses would come in under Arts & Sciences.

You could do the rest cheaply via Sophia, and then Study.com for whatever that didn't cover.

$5,300 tuition & fees at EC for 7cr / $5,850 tuition & fees at EC for 13cr (so 2 extra courses there)

UMPI is competency-based, think WGU, I would only do that if I was sure I could go fast and finish in 1-2 terms, if you're looking to take your time, I'd do COSC or EC.

Hello Dfrecore;

Thanks for your very detailed explanation and for putting it in terms that a newer user like me can easily understand as well as showing the overall costs and where the Aleks courses would fit. I'm liking your suggestion of Excelsior the most so far as I love the idea of avoiding those RA credits. Cost is a bit of a factor, but it's probably worth it for me to pay a little more for a faster/smoother education. I'm going to use the template that I found here as a starting point and start working out which Sophia courses I can begin subbing in.

Then as per the flowchart in the wiki, I will try to get my courses locked in by June so there are no surprises with RA credits for Excelsior

You guys have all been very helpful. I appreciate this so much!!
