Skip the Associates at TESU and go for a Pierpont BOG AAS, you just need to get a graded credit for $25 from ASU, and complete a few courses to hit all the requirements, total cost would be the price of transcripts and additional alternative credits. I suggest taking some InstantCertCredit.com, Saylor.org, Sophia.org, or Study.com courses, you may want to ladder that up to an inexpensive UMPI BAS with a minor concentration later.
Many things have changed, COSC/TESU now require RA credits for their degrees, not just alternative credit, Excelsior requires a cornerstone/capstone, info lit course. I highly suggest skipping TESU in favor of Pierpont BOG AAS, you can use the money saved towards a Bachelors at UMPI. You can review this link for details on what courses to take for the Pierpont BOG AAS. Follow these steps: Pierpont C&TC - Degree Forum Wiki (miraheze.org)
Invest in a secondary monitor for multi-tasking. You can then take some time and read about UMPI's offerings, here are a couple of recent posts:
