Newbie Canadian looking for advice - where to get liberal arts degrees?

Don't feel stupid! There's no need. I think a dual concentration is workable, it's awesome to have both English/History.
You maybe able to do it without getting more than 120 credits!
The second major can take up the Free electives+General Education Electives.

Essentially, get your plan of action/courses you need to take and place them into a spreadsheet.
The courses you transfer in can be placed into the "General Education Electives, or Free electives", you have a total of 47 credits to dump there.

You're correct, the general education requirements for both TESU BA English and BA History are the same.
I would work on those first, see wiki for details: Sanantone's TESU General Education Options After July 1, 2015 | Degree Forum Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia
English: Bachelor's Degree in English at Thomas Edison State University
History: Bachelor's Degree in History at Thomas Edison State University

Credit Transfer: Transferring Credit at Thomas Edison State University
Catalog - Credit Transfer: Transfer Credit
International Evaluation: International Student Policies
If you need some free credits to place into your "Free Electives", here are some: Free Sources of Credit | Degree Forum Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia
