New BSW From COSC

WGU's degrees in teaching and nursing aren't accepted in every state.

Are you sure on both points? "WGU's Teachers College online degree programs will help prepare you for teaching certification in any of the 50 states," WGU states here, with further information state-by-state.

The nursing program is only offered to students resident and taking practicums in certain states where WGU has clinical sites, but whereas I've heard over the years of several states disqualifying or adding additional requirements on Excelsior entry-level nursing graduates, I haven't yet heard that about WGU.

I like the way that WGU presents the state-by-state licensure options for teachers. It's very clear.

Yes, for people who aren't already licensed, the nursing program could work if you live in Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, or Utah: https://www.wgu.edu/online-nursing-healt...ogram.html

CSWE doesn't accredit associate's level programs, so I don't think they'd accept social work credit from a community college.

It appears to be a well-established practice that Connecticut community college social work credit can transfer to CSWE-accredited bachelor's in social work programs at Connecticut state universities.

That seems to be the case if you're going through the transfer ticket process, but 1. The classes required of the AA/AS program trends toward cognate courses and 2. I wouldn't expect to take standalone classes and have them accepted as part of the BSW major.
