Oh, we need to see the bigger picture, and another thing, are you glued to TESU? If you're just going for a BALS or BSBA, since you have so many transferrable credits, COSC/UMPI might be a cheaper option if you're just going for the degree, it's a great "check the box" option since you really are wanting the MBA as the end goal. Again, there are many avenues you can take, each option is different for people with needs/wants, it all depends on their age, situation, and what they see as more ROI/Value. What are your commitments? Kids? Work? etc? How much time can you dedicate to school?
I revisited your "evaluation", your Psych245 came in as upper level, I think that should have been a second year course or lower level, but because of similar content and course name, they evaluated it as UL. Here's a quick rundown on a couple of options since catalog years/newer requirements have changed: 1) Go to UMPI and get a BLS with a concentration of your liking or a BABA with a different concentration. This is a viable option if you have no commitments, have lots of energy, time, as it's CBE and you're paying by term.
2) Many semi competitive MBA programs require "prerequisites", your TESU BALS has only a few business courses, I highly recommend slapping onto it the BSBA. If it was the other way around, you getting a BSBA, then skip the BALS as it's just a check the box degree. Most MBA requirements are a BA degree, for those non-Business majors, they need "bridging-make up" courses. So, instead of paying grad prices, I would rather pay for that extra Business Capstone and get a second degree at TESU, hitting BOTH the residency requirements AND prerequisites for the MBA entry.
