I don't know why they ignored my "Intro to Sociology" course as it would fulfill the remainder of the social sciences requirement. I'm going to ask them to reconsider that course. Thank you for the SDC course suggestions. 

Let's say I took those exact courses to get my 15 more UL credits. They're still saying I need 15 more credits in LL "arts and sciences", but I don't understand why they wouldn't consider my MUS 133 AUDIO RECORDING TECH (3 credits), HPE 102 HEALTH & WELLNESS (3 credits), AUT 131 AUTOMOTIVE HEATING & AC (3 credits), AUT 111 AUTOMOTIVE BRAKE SYS (3 credits), and one of the other 4 credit automotive courses. Surely, those lower-level courses would be considered as arts and sciences. 

When I compared all my credits to this recent sample transfer guide (https://www.excelsior.edu/wp-content/upl...-03.21.pdf), I thought they'd accept at least 98 of my credits.

The automotive classes are not liberal arts. They would go into general electives. Liberal arts are natural sciences, math, humanities, etc. Even that music class may not be considered a liberal art because it's a tech class.

Even the BS has a minimum number of liberal arts credits that are required in each category of liberal arts.

1) The link you posted indicates exactly what Arts & Science courses are, so you should take some Lower Level requirements with Sophia.org and the UL with Study.com

2) You shouldn't think of trying to get as much credits into the degree from your previous credits, you should put that focus on which courses would get you to the finish line cheaper, easier, faster.

Actually, Excelsior takes Davar classes (NCCRS), they're slightly cheaper/easier/faster than Study.com, I would also look into those courses as well.  You need to email your academic advisor and ask them which courses can transfer over as Upper Level.
