Like anything, it depends on college and degree. Although the name does not sound sexy, I do know with the Excelsior College Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts you can transfer in 120 credits, and they can be from a 100 years ago. That's the degree I am working on since I have 27 years of military experience and am a military aviator that needs a degree quick to get hired by the airlines. Some other degree programs, like business related, have an age limit on credits... I think like some accounting and/or other business classes can only be 10 or 15 years old for those business related degrees.
Don't quote me, but, they do have two options as far as residency. Take 12 credits through them, or pay some money I think. I am 99.99% sure that even if you did transfer in 120 credits, you'd still be required to take the Liberal Arts Capstone.
In August 2015, they eval'd me only needing 30 credits (having take 2 courses with them in 2009 for AA, and a History Class back in 1994) - all other was military.
Since then, I've taken Eng Comp II through Excelsior, Intro to World Religion DSST, Ethics in America DSST, Civil War DSST, and Vietnam War DSSTs. Taking Business Ethics DSST today, leaving 3 more DSST/CLEPs, and the CAPTONE to be taken in June.
I can't speak to any other college.

Good luck!
