I think that the only Gen Ed course you want to take at WGU is Critical Thinking & Logic, because it's supposed to be easy (and there's no alternative for it at SL/Study.com). It's also supposed to be very fast and easy at WGU.

You may also think about taking the Science Lab at WGU, because it's a little more expensive at SL (and not available at Study.com). Again, also easier/faster than the SL option.

-------------------------------------------

English Comp I - Think about taking this as a CLEP exam rather than SL/Study.com if you're looking at speed. College Comp Modular w/o Essay is all Multiple choice, no writing.

English Comp II - Again, CLEP/DSST is a good option here, although SL/Study.com has it. DSST's Advanced College Comp will work, no writing, all M/C.

College Comp w/essay might be able to be used for both English Comp I & II.

^^Whichever you choose, I would get that approved ahead of time, or make sure it will work, since I don't know - someone on this forum might know.
