New to the forum, couple questions.

I think COSC is a better option if you want to go more cheaply, it depends on if you need ACBSP accreditation for a business degree or not. They are certainly the better option if you want a BSLS degree - where you could create your own major, and choose business/management/leadership courses that you want, and combine it with something like communications or psych or something like that. Then, you can skip all the BSBA courses that you're not interested in.

I personally don't like the membership courses, where you need to finish in a month. Sophia has a coupon that I think is still active, and you can purchase 5 courses for $500 or something like that - and then take a few months to start, and about 3 months to complete a course. I prefer not having a short deadline, but that's just me. If I HAVE to have a deadline, then I'm doing Study.com instead of SL, I'm not a fan of having to read a textbook online (although I do read the transcripts rather than watch the videos on Study.com). I just don't like reading a huge amount of text, and hate those open-book exams where I'm searching through the text to try to come up with the answer - tortuous. But some people LOVE SL. To each their own.

As for trying to get a high score on a course, I'm not one of those. I want to pass and move on. After 20 years of working, I know that I do not need the info in a macroecon book to do any kind of job I'm looking at, nor would I want a job that would require the info. Not my thing. If you're willing to get a 75-80% instead of 95%, then you can go faster. But it's up to you on what you want to get out of each course. I think you're better off going quickly and spending more time on the things that interest you, or things that you want to learn for your career, but again, everyone gets to decide for themselves.

I know WGU was suggested, but I don't think that's an option if you're Canadian. So my advice: get the COSC BSLS.
