Hello all! I posted late last year initially requesting help for a TESU BA and received some great feedback. Unfortunately, life and 2020 happened, so I had to put my plans on the backburner. Luckily things are straightening themselves out, and I can hopefully move forward with getting my BA.
After some preparatory work, it would seem that a Bachelors in Liberal Studies with a concentration in History from Charter Oak would be the best path for me, with a tentative plan laid out below (and attached):

Green are previously-earned credits, yellow is to-be earned, blue are classes required to be taken at COSC.
As you can see, I have my total outstanding costs calculated at just under $4200, although estimates are used in some places. For comparison, I made a similar plan for a History BA from TESU that would run me over $7500 (I can share it if anyone is interested). Unless I've made a huge oversight, COSC is the obviously superior financial choice by a margin of around $3300.
As mentioned in the plan, what is the current situation regarding the TEEX cybersecurity courses and COSC? Obviously COSC recently began only accepting "alternative educational providers (non-regionally accredited entities)" if they are on their very short pre-approved list, but the thing is that TEEX is a subsidiary of Texas A&M, which is a RA entity. So basically, would those TEEX credits transfer in or not?
Also, what are my prospects of getting additional degrees at the same time (looking at you bjcheung77)? I'd certainly be open to the possibility if it doesn't require exceptionally more effort and/or money.
That's about it; if anyone has any recommended course substitutions I'd love to her them, but other than that my plan right now is to take the necessary outstanding courses, transfer them (as well as my previously-completed courses) to Charter Oak, complete the Cornerstone and Capstone, and graduate!
