If you're almost 20, you might want to consider this degree from UMPI: https://online.umpi.edu/degrees/undergraduate/bachelor-of-arts/english-professional-communication-journalism/

You can read more about UMPI on the wiki: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/University_of_Maine_at_Presque_Isle

You would have to take 30 credits at UMPI, so you may be pretty close to the transfer limit. You've got a physical lab science, so you'd want to take Human Biology from Sophia, as well as Spanish. But, despite being close to the transfer limit, it's possible that you've got a lot of classes that might not fit neatly into the UMPI degree. I recommend creating a spreadsheet to better compare what you have with what you still need.

"Technical Writing" is ENG and doesn't count as a Communications class. Fortunately, the AOS does have 12 credits of Humanities electives, where the English course could go. You'd just need 6 more UL credits. Your HCOM 304, Intro to Comm Theory and HCOM 305, Digital Media Literacy should work here.

BUS 305: Leadership Communication (MAN-376)
BUS 313: Organizational Communication (COM-391)
BUS 324: Managerial Communication (MAN-373)
ENGL 305: Advanced Technical Writing (ENG-306)
BUS 319: Negotiations and Conflict Management (NEG-401)

Not sure if that's changed, it may not have.

They will bring in your courses as LL, but they'll still check the box requirement-wise:
COMM 105, Interpersonal Communication, RA, 3
COMM 120, Intercultural Communication, RA, 3

Plus your other COMM courses:
COMM 100, Public Speaking, RA, 3
COMM 124, Small Group Communication, RA, 3
COMM 135, Argument & Critical Thinking, RA, 3
BUS 111, Business Communications, RA, 3

And the Humanities electives:
MUS 101, Music Fundamentals, RA, 3
MUS 113, Jazz History, RA, 3
JOUR 110, Mass Media Survey, RA, 3
So you'd need 1 more.

The main issue I see with the degree is that COM-120 is a pre-req for COM-121, which means that they may not let you take them both at the same time.  So your best bet is to find a Mass Comm I course somewhere cheap if possible, get that done while you're working on everything else, and then do the single 16cr term with Mass Comm 2, Communication Theory, the cornerstone & the capstone at the same time.

https://search.cvc.edu/ (search by keyword, and get the specific ones "communication theory" and "mass communication"

I checked the CVC website, and they have both Communication Theory and Mass Communication at MANY schools; this would be a great way to get these requirements completed cheaply.

they have some other courses if you just look at Communication Studies, but I've heard that TESU is rather picky, and will want the course names to match.  So here's what else you may see:
Mass Communication and Society
Principles of Human Communication
Communications Media Survey
Process of Communication

--------------------------------

Your best bet in all of this is to just apply at TESU, send in all of your transcripts, and then ask about the UL courses from Study.com as well as the CC courses you might want to take.  Better to know up front than take things that may not work.
