Degree planning advice, fastest way, need help
#1
Lightbulb 
I have been lurking the forums since 2010... I am ashamed to say I have never been fully able to understand the intricacies of creating my own degree plan. Over the years I have watched the degrees become harder to obtain. I recently pulled the trigger and applied to TESU. I received my evaluations back and I am trying to decide how to proceed. If anyone would be so kind and help me translate the evaluation and guide me to the best course of action I would be forever grateful.

Your Location: California, United States.
Your Age: 30
What kind of degree do you want?: My evaluation is currently for a General Management, BS (BS.GENMG) at TESU but I am open to any alternatives if there is a better price/ timeline. My career path doesn't really take the major into account. Ultimately, a sheepskin for a BS is what I am trying to obtain, if there are add ons for an AS and a path for a MS I would prefer that path.

AmericanWaterCollege.org CEUS- Total: 12 

Water Treatment Basics 97.33% 3.6 ceus
Distribution System Basics 97.78% 3.6 ceus
Water Transmission and Distribution I 98.44% 4.8 ceus


Any certifications? Water Distribution Operator License 2 and Water Treatment Operator License 2


Budget: I have a max of $9K per year available from my employer via tuition reimbursement. This is only available for classes and books (not testing and proctors).  I'd like to go the fastest route possible even if it requires me to pay out of pocket for testing.  
Commitments: Three kids a spouse. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as is needed during the night or weekends as long as my schedule is free. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal.  I would like to finish within 1-1.5 years (12-18 months)
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: Yes, my workplace, I can utilize up to $9k per year on classes.

Here is a link to my TESU evaluation!
