You may be able to find Art History 1 and perhaps even Art History 2, but I really do doubt that you can find many of those classes at a cheaper school or course provider to transfer in.
That said: Have you considered having him do Dual Enrollment through Liberty? Their Dual Enrollment tuition is $549 per class and there are several of the classes that he would need for that major are offered. You can see the list here:https://www.liberty.edu/online-academy/dual-enrollment-courses/
Have you discovered the book "Homeschooling for College Credit" second edition by Jennifer Cook Derosa, who is a member of this board? It is a very good book with lots of guidance and I think Liberty is mentioned specifically. There is also a Homeschooling for College Credit Website, Facebook Page and state specific facebook groups. Since you are not living in a specific state, you could either choose your home state or even Virginia, since that is where Liberty is located and they might it might be discussed there more often. The website can be found here: https://homeschoolingforcollegecredit.com/
My 20 year old son is on an unhurried course to earn a degree and has considered Liberty, so I have spent some time looking at their degree plans, but I really can't help much with that specific degree. Good Luck!
Thanks for the mention.
Liberty is among the more CLEP-friendly colleges, and if you're looking at them, I don't think you'll have too much trouble lining up his CLEPs and gen eds. I have a basic AA degree plan for them on my website, which you could use to get you started. What College Plus did for you, you can do for yourself, it just takes a little time. Either way, I can help you get rolling and even direct you to a much more affordable private degree planner should you want that kind of help. (link in my sig)
PS though you can join any of my FB groups, you may find the military group to be helpful, I know of at least 1 other RV family in there. Also, if you have an official state of residency, their grad requirements would prevail, however, if you DON'T, and get to pick (like many military families) there are certainly advantages/disadvantages to some vs the others- might be worth discussing with members.
