Which of the big three is best for someone who would like to complete 2 degrees, one in business administration and one in psychology?
I know that some schools no longer allow a certain amount of credits to overlap. Any suggestions?

If you want both degrees, TESU is the way to go. Excelsior doesn't really like students to have multiple degrees, I don't think you can get a Psych degree via alternate credit from COSC anymore, and UMPI doesn't have a psych degree at all.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Yup, TESU would be my recommendation as well, and to take the 16 credit residency requirement instead of paying the residency waiver fee. With the 2021/2022 catalog year, it'll be cheaper, easier, faster as you can now have more overlapping courses. Technically, depending on which BSBA you're going for, you just need 5 extra courses for the BSBA GM/BA Psychology combo...
You need 3 areas out of 4, Accounting, Finance, Management, Marketing, you can get 3 of these and 3 overlapping courses.
Overlapping courses in the AOS/Major: Psychology of Personality, Organizational Behavior, Statistics, total 105 credits
That's because, you also have two extra Social Science electives that will overlap, Macro/Micro, in addition to the 30 free electives

Excelsior requires 30 UL credits for second bachelor's degrees. These 30 UL credits must be completed after your first bachelor's degree is conferred. I tried to do a second bachelor's at Excelsior and they were just not wanting me to do it. And yes all 30 credits must be UL. UMPI doesn't have a psych degree. At TESU you can complete 2 bachelor's degrees at the same time. I'd start looking at them.

Thank you so much. This definitely helps narrow things down.
