Can I use credits from my existing bachelor's degree at the Big 3?

[effdub]

First off, I'm brand-spanking new to the forum (and self-study education in general). I admire the hard work and steely determination you guys display.


Okay, so my question is this:

Can I use credits from my existing bachelor's degree towards a second degree from one of the Big 3?

I have a BA in English from NC State. Sure, I can probably blow through the CLEP / test-out exams for general ed humanities courses at a break-neck speed (or so my ego tells me), but I'd rather not spend the time or money if I don't have to.


I've searched here and at the web sites of the Big 3, and I can't find the answer to my question. I also read through a great deal of the Wiki, and I did not see a page regarding reusing credits from a prior-earned degree (from a non-Big 3 school). So if I've missed some very obvious information, I do apologize.

Thanks in advance for you help. I'm looking forward to getting started putting together a plan.
