Help with degree plan for mom

The other option is COSC/Excelsior, it should be much cheaper than TESU, even a Patten AA would be cheaper.  She can finish her Associates at Pierpont with an "emphasis" in Business, if she takes the remainder of her courses in "Business" (15 credits minimum).

Finally, if she decides to go to TESU or WGU in the future, or remain at COSC, all the course she takes should go into their Business Admin Bachelors just fine.

Based on her credits listed she would likely already have the required 15 business "area of emphasis" credits, or some version of business (i.e. Business Applications) for the Pierpont BOG - https://www.pierpont.edu/ac/programs/board-governors

Moms increase will be a little more than $6,000 so speed would be more important than cost as she would make up the cost of almost any of the degrees in a year.

If that's the case, then it's totally worth it.  I would also probably skip Patten, since she could get this done in less than 4 months.

Here's what I would do.  I would take the following set of courses:

English Comp II (CLEP, DSST, SL or Study.com)
Speech (DSST, SL, or Study.com)
College Algebra (ALEKS)
Statistics (ALEKS)
World Religiions
Sociology
Insurance Ethics (Free)
Am. Govt
Intro to Computers
Business Law
Prin of Management
Prin of Marketing

You've now fulfilled the Pierpont degree, as well as all requirements for the TESU degree (not all the credits, just the required courses).  You're at 47 credits for TESU.

Apply to Pierpont.  Then while you're waiting, continue on to the next set of courses:
Any computer or science course
Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
Organizational Development
Business Communication

Now, you've completed the ASBA, and can apply.  And, you've filled your degree with courses that also apply to the BSBA, including some that will fit in the Core and the AOS.  Boom!

While she's in the mode, and has paid the residency waiver fee, I'd continue on and finish the BSBA at TESU.  ASAP!

Here's an updated spreadsheet for the BOG degree, as well as the TESU ASBA degree.
