I know that BA in Psychology can via TESU (as outlined here).
I saw a post in another thread that a BSBA in Healthcare Management is now achievable this way, and though I'm not sure what they are I think there are other BSBA areas of study that are achievable.
BAs in History and Sociology from TESU are each one class away (Historical Methods and Social Theory, respectively), though perhaps Study.com's Historiography & Historical Methods will get ACE accreditation soon.
Any other majors that are fully test-friendly?
That's a big ask. Whenever a company adds a class, the answer changes again - so you have to have people who are watching for that, and that usually only happens for personal reasons. For instance, I'm watching for hospitality courses, because that changes (maybe) my son's degree plan (probably not). With Studycom's new set of computer science courses, that opened up a lot of options for a lot of people- but as an example, I'm not going to chase that down and start writing degree plans for various colleges in computer science unless I'm pursuing computer science, does that make sense?
Oh, I know no one is going to be able to rattle off all of them, I was just hoping people could contribute the ones they're aware of. Again, I don't really care for myself personally because I've got other factors to consider, but I just love how these programs work that I'm curious what the options are for someone who IS going to do a totally alternate credit degree.

People's ability to pay and available time also factors in. For instance, a number of degree plans depend on courses from community college, which works for some, but not all.
Understood, and I guess what I'm asking is which ones don't require CC/PLA/etc. Again, it's just a curiosity thing as a "fan" of alt-credits, not something for me personally.
I guess, to summarize, this was more a theoretical exercise than something I actually want advice on.
