For a BA in social science or liberal arts you have a lot of free electives but you can only use 27. This is the longest degree option for you, since according to what I see, you are not over your gen ed requirement. (so you are looking at at least 60 more in the liberal arts area!) If you changed to cj you will do A LOT better because some of these free electives would get switched into "in major."

I would think your best bet would be the Fire Science or Emergency Management degree as you might find that alot of your stuff may be used for the major and you can make the most use of your electives.
Here is the link to TeSC degree and requirements. I dont know the circumstances of your getting the credits but both these require you are working and/or have experience in the field. I recall a thread on those details a while back. Search and ye shall find.

Excelsior BSLS might allow you to use those credits. Check it out. Also, unless you think that banging your head against a brick wall is fun, stay away from TESC.
Your English comp exam won't work at EC though
