Reid, I thoroughly reviewed the initial attachment and then the second attachment again. I noticed another couple of things, so I have questions as well. In regards to 1) Why did you choose a BALS in the first place, is it because that's the easiest degree to complete for you? 2) As I mentioned earlier, you may be very close to another Associates in Aviation Maintenance Technology, if your previous Associates was in Arts, it has nothing to do with Aviation I would assume?
So, back to #1. I would recommend you doing the BSBA General Management as you have all the AOS completed, you can finish the degree off with the cheap/easy/fast open book exams at StraighterLine, and any other requirements at Study.com if needed. The utility of the BSBA would be greater and the degree has programmatic/secondary ACBSP accreditation. I suggest doing a "What If" academic evaluation in your TESU OSS and attaching a few screenshots as your PDF shows your personal info and the fields on the right are missing.
Back to #2) You should also do a "What if" academic evaluation in your TESU OSS for the AS Aviation Maintenance Technology, if my guess is right, you just need the Capstone and you're done. Since you need your Residency Requirements met, that can be used towards residency.
And here's the kicker, you're looking at a Masters later on - there are 6 Masters below and 5 are RA, 1 NA. You want to look at the requirements to get into a similar program from these institutions. Cost range from $20K upwards of over $30K for the entire masters degree program, the majority only requires a Bachelors degree in "anything".
Why am I telling you this about the Masters? You can get 12 graduate credits from TESU towards these Masters, those 12 can be used towards your BSBA if you wanted at the cost undergraduate tuition vs graduate tuition. You use the 7 credits plus these 12 and the capstone, you'll have 22 of the 24 required. You can take an easy TECEP or finish the Associates to get the remainder of the residency credits. This will save you 1/3rd the price on the masters, finish your degree faster and easier....
