COSC vs Excelsior... eventual plan for MSW

For the 4yr school, it's unclear how these credits are classified; when you go to the school's catalog, you need to look up "course numbering system" and see what they classify 900-level courses as (maybe developmental? if so, none of the Big 3 will take these):
MATH 995        Private Reading: Approach to Statistics               1
PSYC 995        Private Reading: Adolescence                             1
PSYC 995        Private Reading: Children and Peer Status            3

4yr school - what is this course?
ENG 104         Writing Papers                                                  2

For this CLEP, was it with Essay?
CLEP (2021)       College Composition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, did you ever determine which degree you want?

--------------------------
I can't find anything whatsoever in the college catalog that lists the numbering system.  However, I do remember that developmental level courses started with a 0  (047-01 Developmental Mathematics, for example) and those earned no credit at all.

The 995 is a designation for an individual study course where you meet one-on-one with the professor. I believe  COSC told me those would count as psychology credits, but I don't know if they'd count as upper level.  The content certainly was upper level.

ENG 104 was a semester-long writing intensive course that involved writing and critiquing papers. It used a text called "Read to Write" which involved teaching writing skills by analyzing written prose.  The course qualified for the school's "writing intensive" requirement.

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

As for the degree, I'm sort of torn.  It seems like the social sciences with human services concentration would have the closest similarity to social work-type course work, but I've heard several here comment that masters program schools don't really care about the undergraduate major.  If the major truly doesn't matter that much, then the simplest liberal studies that gets me out the quickest would probably be the best... but I'm open to comments and input.

As for the CLEP, it was English Comp with essay. The Analyzing Literature did not have the essay.
Thanks very much!
