TESU is super generous as long as you passed them it should be good. Someone here can help plan them into a degree plan.

Great idea - thank you!  Just edited to add them.

Also, some companies will let you use the TA to pay for online courses if you can show that they will apply to your degree, and the school will take them.  My husband's company would do this.  Now, the "membership" portion of the costs wasn't covered, so he couldn't use Study.com or SL, but he could use everything else (Sophia, Ed4Credit, Saylor, CLEP, DSST, etc.).  So you'll want to find out if anything is covered.

That being said, I made a TESU degree plan for you.  If you go there, you should apply and send your credits, and then start on your alternative credit courses.  You'll need to take a TECEP exam along the way, since you'll want to lock in your catalog (the course requirements).  But it's only $75 for a LL exam, so it's totally worth it to do.  I'd take the Applied Liberal Arts Math course, as I thought it was the easiest TECEP I took out of 5.

As you can see in the degree plan, all UL credits will be in the AOS/Major.  With the GM cert/concentration, TESU requires that at least half are UL courses, and those would count towards your UL AOS requirements.  I have it laid out for Study.com, although there are other places you can take some of the courses (I just don't have them listed).  Now, normally, business courses don't count towards a BALS AOS, so I'm not entirely certain how TESU decided to do this.  So the 2nd page of my degree plan lists the GM concentration courses in the AOS, but I would double-check to make sure that those will work there.  Org Theory, Industrial Psych and Managerial Comm definitely count as BALS, but Change Mgmt and Negotiations normally don't, so those are going to be weird ones.

Anyway, find out about how TA works, and make sure that they will cover the costs, otherwise, you'll want to consider COSC instead.
