Budget: 3,5-4K
Commitments: I am working full time
Dedicated time to study: Can commit about 5-6 hours a day
Timeline: Complete by November 2025
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: No

I was looking at Excelsior’s Bsc in General Business. However I am unable to determine which courses are UL courses and their advisors are unwilling to assist until a month after I am officially enrolled. I am not enrolled as yet as I only want to enroll once I have done all my credits, transfer 113 and then only take the capstone,conerstone and info literacy.

Budget: I have a max of 3500K  I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.  
Commitments:  I currently work full time and can work on my studies in the evenings and on weekends.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 5-6 hours every week night and on the weekends. 
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 6 months as I am hoping to apply for an MBA or Masters in Public Administration immediately after.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I will be paying out of pocket so any money saving tips will help as the bank declined me for a student loan.

I don’t mind taking tests but prefer competency based. My goal here more than anything is speed. I need to keep my job and I need a degree, and then I want to apply for a better job later in the year for another position.

Welcome to the board, great intro post with the addendum and template, my suggestion is to do the UMPI BLS with a minor or two, plus the 3-4 classes used towards the MAOL. I would skip the MBA or MPA for now in favor of the MAOL as Organizational Leadership is a subfield of Business Admin, not everyone needs MBA. If you want, you can get the HAU MBA after the MAOL is done, and when you get a higher paying job...
