Question for those with two associates degrees

[n2yoga]

I'm curious about two Associates Degrees because my high school daughter has 69 CELP/ACE credits but the AAS fine-art degree program she's looking at only uses 18 of those CLEP hours. I'm wondering if she can get a TESU AS in General Ed sicne all she lacks is the Capstone class. Then she could move on to the Art Bachelors Degree. She can't get a TESU degree until after the AAS beacsue we were told her chance of admission to the AAS program is higher as a Freshman than as a transfer student. I just don't want to see all of the CLEPS go to waste. Some may count towards the Bachelors Degree program but I'm thinking more may count as transfer. Am I wrong?
