Looking for Quickest and cheapest path to a BS in Business

[LevelUP]

Is there any differences between TESU and UMPI in terms of ease of courses?  Or quicker courses?  Ive seen the UMPI does more papers and projects than tests per say.  Is TESU different?  I would be going for a bachelors in business.  Are their opportunities that if I know the material well, I can just go straight to a test to finish the course?

All 3 schools, TESU, UMPI, or WGU are good choices.

$3500 for TESU if you do the flat-term tuition in which you take 5 courses over 3 months. (transfer in 105cr)
$1500 or $3000 for UMPI, depending on how fast you can do 10 courses which is likely 2 or 4 months. (transfer in 90cr)
$3755 for WGU, depending on if you can do approximately 10 courses in 6 months.  (transfer in 84cr)

TESU and UMPI are similar speed if you have transfer credit for TESU. If you fly through UMPI courses, then UMPI could be 1 month shorter than TESU. WGU it's hard to estimate because some people can go fast while others go slow. 

WGU may contain some all-or-nothing exams which you get up to 4 try to pass. This can be stressful for some, though with your business background, you should do fine.

Thank you!  I only have about 30 credits to transfer in... so not sure if that changes your recommendation.  I might also look to seek credit for work experience and take some Sophia and Study.com classes to save $.  Not sure if Sophia and Study.com transfers to TESU.... I believe they transfer to UMPI.

I'm assuming you are going to max transfer credits using credits from sources such as Sophia and Study.com.  They do transfer to TESU, UMPI and WGU.

Follow the degree plans we have on the Wiki

For TESU, UMPI, WGU, you need at minimum 30 RA credits, the rest can come through ACE alternative credit such as Sophia.org and Study.com or another provider you're interested in, such as Saylor.org or StraighterLine. As I mentioned in post #14, it's somewhat hard to decide, so start taking Sophia.org classes you know that will transfer into all three, take up to 90 credits then decide on the institution as you'll get the accumulation of credits, knowledge in basic business/management and general education classes. You finalize the degree at the institution you select, that's all it is, you have 20 RA credits, by doing a flat rate at TESU, you can transfer the rest in, they allow transfers of up to 114 credits and pay a residency waiver fee, to skip the fee, you do the 15 credit flat rate... For UMPI/WGU, you transfer 90 credits, and do 30 there.
