Options? Degree in Business

-------------------------------------------
Another option: GGU.  They have a new program they worked out with Study.com, and the portion you pay there is 10 3cr courses x $300/cr = $9000.  But they have some good options, and allow a LOT of free electives (51cr in most degrees - the GE is only 39cr).  https://study.com/college/school/golden-...spire.html

They take ACE credit. They're RA.

They not only have a BS in Business with 9 different concentrations, but a BA in Management with 5 concentrations, and a BA in Organizational Leadership.  I think the BAM or BAOL would be the easiest to finish, and you're at 87cr - so 2 more courses with Study.com, and then you could start taking their courses, and spread it out over this year and next, and be done fairly quickly.  I went there ages ago and really liked my courses there.  The nice thing is that they are 8-week courses instead of 12-week ones like TESU.  They just have so many more options, and the BAM is so much less math-y than the BSB, which is a good option for many who want/need a degree that is business-y, but doesn't have to be a BSBA.
-----------------
There are probably more options out there, but these 4 schools may be the easiest for you to complete, at least in terms of number of courses because they take so many GE's unlike WGU.  But that's a good option too.

Thanks dfrecore, I'm going to check them out. They seem a little steep price wise but I'm going to see what they tell me, if they're a network school with my employer they could potentially offer some benefits.

The nice thing about going to a "regular" school is that you pay for a course and then get reimbursed after you're done, so you're not out $3500 right off the bat like you would be at GGU.  Also, with being able to use tuition reimbursement, you don't have to come out of pocket as much for ACE/NCCRS credit.

HogwartsSchool has a valid argument, many times I tell people to do the "one and done - Bachelors & Masters" program at WGU if they are in Business/IT or Education/Nursing fields and they're not going past a Masters or further their education in anything else.  Just do all you can with Sophia.org in regards to transferability then you need to decide if you want to graduate from a State University with online degree offerings or Exclusively online university with degrees in those fields.

However, having said that, I also recommend people to have a good rounded "undergrad" education.  The Big 3 was never one of my choices even though I recommended them 20+ years ago, back then they allowed you to transfer in everything as there were no Cornerstone/Capstones.  Even though they are RA, I thought of them as similar to NA or lesser quality as you're just paying for credit transfer and other fees (doesn't that look degree mill'ish?).  I recommended people have a rounded education by taking the bulk of their courses (especially the last 30-60 credits) at a local college/university and for the first two years, community college or using the alternative testing methods.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the Bachelors to Masters route with WGU? Is it just a matter of completing the degree plans separately or is there some hybrid route they offer?

MrWileyCoyote, It's completing them individually, there isn't a hybrid system. They work on competencies and if you're really familiar with the subject matter, you can pretty much blast past everything relatively quickly. However, not everything is that easy said and done as there are objectives and assessments that have to be met before you go to the next set of courses. What I recommend is to get 90+ credits first for transfer and complete the Bachelors, apply and move onto the Masters. If you have the energy/time commitments strategically planned, you should be able to complete both in a very timely manner.

Thank you sir. Been meaning to comment that on our last few interactions.
