TESC offers a humanities and liberal studies degree along with social science which I think would be good for the Peace Corps. TESC also offers sociology, psychology, human services, and a few other programs that would be helpful in the Peace Corps. Charter Oak offers child and youth development, child studies, early childhood studies, psychology, sociology, liberal studies, and applied behavioral science. You can design your own programs with TESC's learner designed area of study and COSC's individualized studies. Excelsior offers humanities with various concentrations, liberal arts, sociology, psychology, and social sciences with various concentrations. The easiest degrees to test out of are liberal studies/arts, social science, psychology, and a self-designed program. None of the Big 3 offer education programs.
WGU does not offer a humanities or liberal arts degree, but it does offer degrees in education. WGU's education programs are licensure track where you have to do an internship for a semester. You have to pay the school a fee for this. IIRC, it's over $1,000, and it would probably be difficult to maintain a full-time job. COSC is probably your best option with the consortium agreement for financial aid. If you want to complete most of your credits through courses at the school you're attending, TESC's comprehensive tuition plan is the best deal.
You don't need to be affiliated with a school to take CLEP, DSST, ECEPs, or any other test. The easiest thing you can do right now is to complete the free elective requirements by using FEMA courses. They're free and COSC and TESC don't charge a fee for their transcription. COSC uses Frederick Community College's equivalency list.

Emergency Management Institute | Independent Study (IS) - Course List
TEEX offers free, ACE approved courses in cybersecurity that can be used as free electives or computer information systems credit. Saylor offers 3 free courses that are NCCRS approved, but you'll more than likely have to pay for a proctor for the final exam.
You can start completing your math requirements by taking ALEKS courses. ALEKS charges $20 a month. You can probably learn more about it in the wiki. Once you decide on a school, someone on the forum can help you with the general education requirements. Once you choose a degree program, then someone can help you choose tests and/or courses. When people are uncomfortable with testing, they like taking ACE approved courses from Penn Foster and Straighterline.
