WGU Natural Science Lab - Options?

Thorne, didn't you say to had an associates degree? If so, that will waive most of the general ed requirements (even if there was no direct equivalent included in your AA program).

I'd get your credits evaluated before you start making plans to take courses to transfer in, so you're only focusing on what you need and what is possible to transfer.

It's currently free to apply. Just don't officially enroll until you have everything you want to transfer in completed

If you have an AS or AA degree, both sciences as well as the other gen eds will be cleared in a block. If you have an AAS degree, they might not do that - but it's worth applying and connecting with an enrollment counselor to have your current transcripts evaluated so you know exactly where you stand. FWIW, the science is a lot easier to clear than you think, if you don't have credits for them from your associates degree. My son took environmental science at SL - took him 3 days to complete - and that cleared the first 4 credit science requirement. The second 4 credit "applications" course is a task based course which requires a short paper, a short powerpoint presentation, and a middle-school level lab experiment of your choosing. You can complete it in a day or two, and there's no exam. I wouldn't spend a lot of time or money trying to transfer something in for that second science course.
