2nd Bachelors, tons of RA credits.
#1
Hello and thank you for your help,

I have aproximately 185 credits, 176 from regionally accredited schools.   I have completed my business management degree from WGU, which earned 90 credits.  The other RA credits came from brick and mortar schools in non business fields.   I have a grab bag of humanities and history credits and diverse gen eds.  I would really like to use this stockpile of credits for a liberal arts/humanities bachelors with minimal new coursework.  

I am considering the history and liberal studies degrees from TESU, Liberal Studies from Excelsior, and the General Studies from Charter Oak State College.  

Ideally I would do the TESU history, but I believe they require new credits to be earned since completing my business management degree at WGU.   

So Plan B is Excelsior Liberal Arts or COSC General Studies.

Am I thinking this through correctly ?

Nope, my suggestion would be TESU as your first choice and UMPI as your second that is because Excelsior would advise you to do a Masters. COSC would require you to do 30 credits after the first degree, (which includes the Cornerstone and Capstone at minimum to finish). https://www.charteroak.edu/catalog/curre...degree.php

You need 30 credits for UMPI, but their YourPace is cheaper, easier, faster than COSC and/or Excelsior. TESU, you just need the capstone plus the residency waiver fee to finish (if all your classes transfer over, otherwise, you'll have to take the remaining credits and transfer them in, using Study.com or other ACE/NCCRS options).

This is a good initial post to get the ball rolling. What would be best is if you filled us in on what is missing in the addendum and template, such as your budget, state, etc. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works
