However since you already have a technical AAS degree, you could opt for a BAS at UMPI quickly and well within your company reimbursement. If you're missing any GenEds you might end up with a month or two of Sophia to fill in the gap (very minimal cost). I'd recommend you apply to UMPI for the BLS-Management (or other BLS minor that interests you, you'd switch to BAS after applying and evaluation) and the TAMUC BAAS Organizational Leadership - see where you sit with both schools and then decide. Either way you should have very little out of pocket cost, and almost certainly be done well before 2 years with either school.
My worry with the BLS was that it might not get refunded by my company since I am in IT-Healthcare so I was trying to stick to a business degree or technical.
I know we use BrightHorizons for our tuition reimbursements and I show a list of schools. What I am not clear on is if we are limited to only these schools. I doubt it but I need to check. I see some of these offer discounts so I wonder if that's an extra discount over what the schools show on the websites.

You would apply to the BLS, then once your evaluation was complete you would email and switch to the BAS. Others here can give you more detail on that process (I think it is as simple as an email). Since you want something technical you'd be better served applying for the BLS-MIS or the BLS-PM. You'd be able to do this switch because you already have a Technical AAS. You would switch the program to BAS before you start, so your employer would see you as enrolled in a Bachelor of Applied Science, Management Information Systems (for the MIS example). Maybe even get a double minor of MIS & PM (you'll have to do 10 courses at UPMI no matter)
TESU is on the BrightHorizons list you shared, you could take the courses you need for residency through the program (you already have plenty of RA credits). Maybe the BASC, BSCIS, and I think even the BSIT is now available maxing out alt credits. Again you'd have to apply and see where your existing credits fall. I suspect that the UMPI route would still be most generous with what you already have for the BAS route; probably would be most likely lowest cost to you (or your employer) and quickest. Either way you'd be looking at little out of pocket to complete the degree quicker.
