Need advice in putting together degree plan for my wife (and me)

Here is the transfer guidelines, it's helpful with knowing which courses and more importantly certs will be accepted for the different areas.

I forgot that the Cybersecurity DSST might also work in there. My husband took it and it counted for Fund. of InfoSec. The MIS DSST exam counted for Business of IT-Applications.

And, don't forget that certs will be included in the degree itself, so don't pay hundreds for a cert that you're going to get within the degree. But there are certs that don't come with the degree, and those might be worth taking before you enroll. I think the cert that will give you the biggest bang for your buck for this degree is the CISSP, so if she can take that one, it's worth doing (possibly like 17cr). But it's considered one of the harder exams, so don't spend 6 months studying for it either.

Also, unlike TESU, WGU doesn't have 60cr of gen eds - their gen ed's are generally only about 25-30% of the degrees. So don't bother trying to get 60cr of gen eds. It's a waste of time there. Just get the 33cr you need and move on.
