University of North Alabama online BBA
#1
My ex wife's alma mater, UNA, offers an online, competency based AACSB accredited BBA that allows 90 credits of transfer. They also accept CLEP in 21 subjects. For those with a mix of RA credits and clep, but no degree this could be a good option. Or for those with an existing bachelor's in another field who need a business degree for career or personal goals, it might fit the bill.
I haven't dug too deep or taledk to anyone but I don't believe they accept ACE outside of military JST's. I could be wrong.

One interesting thing about UNA is they have a live mascot that lives with other lions in a lion habitat right on campus. Classes are sometimes punctuated by a random lion roar. (It's a terrifying sound IRL and rattles windows!)

This is not a CBE program; you can choose between 8-wk "self-paced" courses or 16-wk "instructor-guided" courses. So unlike a regular CBE option like WGU or UMPI, you can't move onto another course once you finish one. If you finish a course early, you have to wait for the next term to enroll.

As for CLEP, I can't find how many credits they will accept (common is 30cr of CLEP); but they will accept the usual, except Composition - you have to write an essay scheduled with someone there on campus in order to get credit AFTER passing College Comp Modular, and you'll only get credit for College Comp I. I'm going to guess that the juice won't be worth the squeeze on that particular one.

A few caveats about the requirements:
1) you can only transfer 60cr from a CC (and I'm going to assume that the CLEP credits are in here as well); so if you want to transfer in 90cr, 30cr will have to come from a 4yr school,
2) this degree requires 45cr of UL in the major, and 50% of that must be taken in residency
3) the school requires 30cr of UL be taken in residency
4) the GE is pretty strict: Comp I & II, 12cr of Humanities, 12cr of History/SocSci (including Econ I & II), 3cr of math (Finite Math or College Algebra at a minimum), and 8cr of Science (it does not specifically say you have to take 2 lab sciences, but it may be the case based on what they offer)
5) When you add up the GE, Foundation, Core, and Concentration, it's 107cr - meaning only 13cr of Free Electives are allowed; not a lot of wiggle room there

But the price is good if you can find a way to only take 30cr there - $7,992, which is $370/cr, less a 20% automatic scholarship if you take at least 2 courses in the first term, and the first course is free. This is assuming the price stays the same until you're done.

For an AACSB program, the price is good, but this won't be an easy one to maximize transfer credits, nor will you be able to get through the program as quickly as most people on here want.

They have a few Masters or EDS options that might appeal to prospective students, they've got a good tuition fee structure that's somewhat affordable at $400/credit - $350 tuition, $50 fee, a 30 credit Masters program can be done for $12K (non MBA/MAcc). Link: Tuition & Fees Per Semester (una.edu) 

Note: They also have a Masters in Applied Manufacturing Engineering program that will take individuals who have an ABET Engineering or ABET Engineering Technology or a non ABET undergrad.  Link: Online Master's of Science in Applied Manufacturing Engineering (una.edu)
