Default Bachelors degree

I have been told by everyone I know that I need to get my bachelors to be competitive if I want to work at SWA. I have a associates degree in aviation and started flying corporate right after earning my degree. I need some guidance on finding the right online school that will be easy on my bank account on will take the maximum amount of credits possible. Anyone have good recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I went through UVU. Pricing wasn't too bad, and transfer credit/ratings worked out well. I did the aviation administration program.

Excelsior College. Most credits for my aviation experience. Will accept any course which is ace accredited so you can test out of a lot. CLEP, UEXCEL exams, Dantes, and study.com courses. I went from 12 classes down to 5 and tested out 4 of them. I went there because that's the degree/college one of my internals used and got hired with.

What? 6 replies and nobody telling us that a degree has nothing to do with flying and how unfair it is?
