You can use free FEMAs for free electives. You can complete the math and statistics requirements with ALEKS. This doesn't list all of the general education options, but it lists everything else for the BSBA.

My comments are below in bolded italics. There are 2 courses at Penn Foster I'd recommend taking instead of the exams because they are easier. The money you'll save from the other ideas should more than make up the difference in cost.
