Yes, AS and AAS are two different degrees... Just like the AA and AAS you mentioned in your first post, they're two different degrees. It's ideal to complete the two bachelors at the same time, because of one graduation fee, and there is no need for 24 extra new credits for the second degree. It depends on the person, some want to do the BALS and be over with the degree, others would want to do the extra work and have second degree later...
But wait, there's more... I would skip TESU altogether and do the UMPI BAS with a couple/triple minors of your choice, along with the 3-4 classes that can go towards completion of the MAOL for later. It goes like this (something similar to what you have on your signature already), Pierpont BOG AAS> UMPI BAS> UMPI MAOL. You can do the 3K MBA from HAU if you wanted to instead of the MAOL.
