Looking for advice on Special Ed / Social Science

Someone suggested Special Ed to me but only WGU has this , so I'm leaning towards one of the big 3 which has degree in Social Science or History, simply because WGU only accepts 90 units and It oesn't look like I'd be able to test out of many classes at that college or at least that is my understanding. I would greatly appreciate any insight or help that you might have to offer!!!

You can transfer in up to 90 credits, and all of those can be alt. education, or test out or what have you. WGU has a very liberal transfer policy and accepts nearly all the same types of credits as the big 3. Like TESU, they don't accept Shmoop, but they do accept CLEP, ACE, and even NA credits from non-RA schools, which the big 3 doesn't (or only accepts a small amount of, in the case of Excelsior).

The challenge is matching your credits to the curriculum of your degree plan and figuring out which ones you can take via alternative credit, leaving the rest to be taken directly from the school. Either way, you have 6 months to complete the balance of credits, so if you're diligent you can get through a lot of coursework in that time. Finishing in 6 months is generally not that hard, even if you end up needing more than 30 credits to complete the degree.
