Degree path guidance for new dad

WGU is going to be a bit different - you'll have to plan carefully, and take 90cr, so that you could finish in a single term.

I have a COSC plan that should work, and a WGU one as well.

For both, I tried to use all of the CLEP/MS courses possible, then Saylor/Online Degree, then Study.com or SL to get discounts.

Wow, many thanks Dfrecore. It looks like COSC might be the way to go because it allows more freedom in what types of courses I can transfer in. 

A few question then for the COSC plan:  
  • I need to complete everything in the check box area and then apply it to the plan above right?
  • Analyzing and Interpreting literature features twice on the plan, is that correct?
  • I  can do all the courses, that first 75 credits, apart from the concentration, before even contacting COSC and enrolling? 
  • Also, I see the COSC plan doesn't include any Algebra, but business stats instead. Is that correct, no Algebra? I feared trying to complete an Algebra course, we weren't good friends in high school Tongue  it will be great if I don't have to. 
  • So study.com is $100 per course, don't they have a subscription model as well?

COSC will take them, but WGU will not as they only take ACE not NCCRS. With the work and family schedule you have described I think COSC would be the better low cost option for you - as WGU can be cheaper (if you finish in one term), but it is all about dedicating time (6 months) vs being able to piecemeal courses as time and money allow. 

elbebopkid posted a very good thread at the end of 2018 on obtaining a BSBA from COSC - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Transcript

Thanks allvia, yeah, as I've mentioned above. COSC seems like the better option, life can throw a lot of curve balls and if I don't complete the WGU in one term it might end up costing a lot more. I'll look that thread and onlinedegree, thanks for the links.
