Moving credits around?

Some schools are more specific and want a certain number of graded credit to be taken directly at the school.

A decent number of my courses are from a B&M college, some courses are from RA universities, and I'm taking the TESU Non-Western Literature course. I'll be providing my TESU transcript, the credit evaluation of my B&M credits, and an introduction letter explaining my study path. I'm pretty sure that having some credit-only courses will raise an eyebrow or two, and that it'll weigh in the application, but I'm trying to balance this out with:

- High GPA for the courses that do have GPA (already have a high GPA with B&M college credits)
- Past work experience
- Good reference letters
- Courses that are directly related to the field and graduate degree—this is why I'm asking about taking education courses during the Capstone, and then switching some unrelated B&M courses for those

Okay, so what I'm getting so far is that courses are listed in a random manner, and that TESU courses are definitely listed (with GPA). Apart from that:
- The provider courses are listed, also in chronological/random order, with the equivalent name TESU has assigned to them, but with P/F only?
- If you don't apply credits to your degree, are they still listed? If so, why would credits not part of the degree be listed?
- Do graduate schools look at the courses you completed?

What I'm trying to avoid is say, having almost only music B&M courses as GEE and FE, for a BA in English, and applying for a master's in education. Wouldn't that look weird? I'm thinking it would possibly affect my chances of being accepted, and that having around 8 or so education courses could improve those chances. 

I'd therefore use my B&M to meet the 100-credit requirement to register for the Capstone, complete a bunch of education courses while I'm doing the Capstone, and then switch unrelated B&M courses with the education courses.
