With regard to what degree you can get, you can get any degree from the big 3 and take significant advantage of alternate credits, but, as others have mentioned, some degrees will be more difficult than others. The best way to find out about a specific degree is to ask. There's a good chance the degree you're looking at has been discussed on here, or if not there are people here who are knowledgeable enough to be able to eyeball the degree requirements and tell you what the sticking points will be.
