Help-Advice regarding COSC AS & BS General Studies vs. BA

[allvia]

I would not spend money on a general associates (or bachelors) if your goal is to teach business courses.  If you need only an associates where you're located I would strongly urge you to at least get an Associate in Business (ASBA) - TESU has one https://www.tesu.edu/business/asba/index  You still have the residency fee and the Information Literacy (SOS-110) requirement, but no capstone for the ASBA. Also, if you get motivated to finish a BSBA within a year of earning the ASBA you wouldn't have to pay the residency waiver again.  

If you don't mind - Where are you located? I ask because where I am located in US what you're talking about would not be possible with only an associates degree.  I left the corp world a ways back for a nonprofit career path (I love my work now); I can totally relate to your motivation for a new career path.
