It costs a bit more than COSC but it only takes 1 term to complete the capstone/cornerstone vs. 2 for COSC. Plus, TESU has monthly starts while COSC has regular terms/semesters. You have 19 graded credits at TESU, which is good. You're going to need 24 RA credits and the fastest way to do that would be to take 2 LL TECEPs for $150 each (https://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php). Some suggestions would be English Comp I & II, Learning in the Digital Age, and Algebra/Applied Liberal Arts Math. These should be relatively quick, easy, and require minimal study. But you do what you want.
Now go to Sophia IMMEDIATELY and sign up for the $149/year offer. You only have a few hours left to sign up and then it's $79/mo. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...live-again
Once you've done that, you can start following https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap to fill in your degree requirements.
If you are in the US, you should consider getting the FREE Pierpont Associate's degree: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC
Otherwise, the only reason you'd want to get an Associate's degree would be to pick up one of the "free" add-on options at TESU as you're getting your BALS. You do NOT want an Associate's degree separate. It will not be faster and it will not necessarily assist you in your goals to get a Bachelor's degree.
The "free" options at TESU can be found here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/As...University For instance, if you complete everything at Sophia, you'd only need an extra 3 business classes from Study.com to get the ASBA. A plain AA with no concentration would require no additional classes beyond what you'd be using for your BALS.
Next question I have would be, what's next? Sign up for ACE and start linking classes? I'm just at a loss when it comes to the basic first steps.
