TESU and Excelsior should be fine. TESU has a BA in Biology, and Excelsior has a BS in Natural Science with a concentration in Biology and without a concentration. COSC's BS in General Studies with a concentration in Biology might work. The title might throw people off, but the curriculum is more traditional and demanding than Excelsior's program.
Logan University is a good place to earn transfer credits, but they're not all that flexible with accepting transfer credits. I think I have almost 300 credits now, and Logan told me that only about 54 would apply to the degree. On the other hand, I would only need to complete about 30 credits at COSC and Excelsior.
I did get into a medical microbiology and a medical sciences program without having a bachelor's degree in a science, so I am sure that a science degree from one of the Big 3 will work as long as he has the physical science prerequisites. I wouldn't really recommend TESU's BA in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Natural Science, but it might allow for some more flexibility.
Too bad COSC no longer offers its physics concentration. Biology is not related to what he wants to get his master's in. COSC has a concentration in chemistry that would be a tad more related since it's a physical science. I think it might be best to do the natural science degree at Excelsior without the concentration and pile up on the physical science courses.
Self-paced is not an option unless he spends a lot more money on taking courses through University of New England, but they mostly offer lower level courses he already has. He will have to take courses that are offered in terms. At the masters level, there will absolutely not be any self-paced courses. He also wouldn't find that kind of masters at an online school. It will be a brick and mortar school with an online program.
American Military University is a good place to earn Earth science and environmental science courses to transfer to the Big 3. They're not a good place to earn a degree at, though, if he wants to use a lot of ACE credits.
Do NOT attend Luna Community College. They're on probation, and their accreditation was almost revoked last year.
I just checked Luna's online offerings for Spring 2019, and they didn't have any science courses. Their online offerings were never good, so you aren't missing anything by avoiding them.
