Done MBA without a Bachelor's Degree 10 years ago & some employers still demand one

I have around 70 credits (lower and upper) and almost two decades of professional experience as well as an MBA from an AACSB-Accredited, EQUIS-Accredited, EFMD-CEL-Accredited British University. I was wondering which university (i.e. Thomas Eddison, Charter Oaks, The Excelsior) will be kind enough to grant me a Bachelor's Degree based upon what I have so far. I am leaning more towards Prior Learning Assessments (PLAs) than CLEPS, DATNES, etc.

To answer your actual question, any one of the Big3 three would work for this. You will have to take a capstone course, and with COSC and TESU a cornerstone course. I went the PLA route for my BACS (there were no alternative credit options for the courses I needed then). If you can simply take an exam or online course at one of the alternative providers to get credit for something, you'll likely find that faster, easier and surer than doing a portfolio for a PLA of the same course. Compare the effort of doing 10-15 pages of documentation of your learning for, say Financial Accounting, plus getting attestation letters from former supervisors or instructors and samples of your work, then waiting for a subject matter expert to pass judgement on it vs. reading some lessons, watching some videos and doing some quizzes and exams on Study.com. Also, some courses, like basic English, Math or Science, may be difficult to PLA.
