I'm attempting to choose to go back to school and complete a BS, probably in Business Administration or perhaps Marketing.  I travel frequently as part of my job.  My goal is to complete my BS to ensure I have the paper necessary for future promotions.  However, I am equally interested in completing a Masters a few years down the road.  I am currently 30 years old.  Have  Lots of military education through the Air Force (currently out of the military) and 21 credits earned through a community college.

 - It is important to me that I have the ability to complete my Master's a few years down the line.

- Receive as much credit as possible for CLEP or equivalent testing options

- Able to complete my degree sooner, rather than later (Accelerated or otherwise - I am not afraid of hard work)

- Be affordable (I have a limited budget - However payment plans etc may open up the possibilities some.  I would also qualify for GI Bill if accepted, but the modest amount paid probably won't cover 100% of any program)

-  Last the degree come from a generally respected institution...it doesn't need to be Harvard.  Just respectable.

I've narrowed it down, but have difficulties deciding and was hoping you might have some thoughts.  Any suggestions outside of these are welcome!

Columbia Southern University - Conflicted because only has National Accreditation (Everything else seems to fit the bill)

TROY University - Seems more expensive and perhaps slower with only 30 Semester Hours accepted via CLEPs or examinations

Baker College Online - Seems reasonable, concerned about pace.  Plus it appears I would first have to enter the Associates program and complete an Associates

Fort Hays State University - Max 30 Semester Hours accepted by examination, VERY inexpensive at $161 an hour, Accelerated Offered

American Military University - $250 per credit hour for undergraduate-level courses and $275 for graduate-level courses, Accelerated, Regional & National Accreditation, Up to 90 credit hours transferred and/or earned from examination...not sure of max from examination allowed though

Have you heard or know anything about any of these?  Any other you might recommend?!?
