As a TESC grad I can at least tell you about TESC. Lets start with the somewhat generic AA. It may be worth the $49 (or whatever the fee is) to see where your credits would actually end up, but that choice is yours. It appears you are very close to the AA. Note also that TESC is changing the general education requirements for many of the degrees (like the BA) on July 1st and this may affect your plans. If you enroll before then you'd be locked into the requirements as they are today, if not they will be different (which may or may not be a bad thing but will require different planning for a BA degree)
AA: http://www.tesc.edu/heavin/AA/
By my count (estimated) you'd need 6 credits of Humanities and 3 credits of General Education Electives (which can be from Humanities, Social Sciences, or Nat/Sci Math areas). That's 9 credits from getting the AA. If you were to want this AA, I'd recommend you take the Analyze and Interpret Literature CLEP exam which would fill the open Humanities areas (it is 6 credits) and then take your pick of a remaining exam from the Humanities, Social Sciences, or Nat Sci/Math areas on either of these links to CLEP and DSST acceptance at TESC:

You could be done for the cost of enrollment (around $3,000), the cost of graduation, and the cost of two or three exams (as long as you pass them). As long as you were to complete the second degree within a year of enrollment then the one cost to enroll will cover both degrees, otherwise the enrollment is good for one year and would need to be renewed. If you have questions about TESC or other schools you'll find this forum to be wonderful.
