Thanks! I've pretty much eliminated WGU at this point due to the proctoring.  

Still debating waiting for my AAS to "Graduate" in May so I can do the "secret" BAS degree, go BABA or just say heck with it and do the BLS in January.  The latter two assuming I hear back from UMPI on my transcripts prior to the January cutoff with how busy they are.

Also as I mentioned in another thread I'm trying to figure out the PCJ 215 / COM 210 / BUS 210 transfer situation. I've got SOPH 0034 "Workplace Communication" which maps to BUS 210, but not the SOPH 0059 "Business Communication" which maps to PCJ 215. NOTHING seems to map to "COM 210". I can take 0059, but it's got four Touchstones and a five minute speech so I'd rather not until I figure out it actually transfers in.

Thanks for everyone's advice and patience!
If the BABA sounds doable to you, I think the degree in Business Administration should be considered more attractive in your situation than either the Applied Science or Liberal Studies degrees. All of them are good “check the box” degrees, but if you think you need your resume to compare favorably next to another resume, the major will help. I don’t know that BAS is really better than BLS in your situation. I could see a hiring manager trying to ask followup questions to understand what you “majored” in. A BLS with two minors could be pitched as an interdisciplinary studies degree. BAS might be better for an earlier-career technical position.
