CSB "knows stuff." Spot-on. During my first four-year stint, I racked-up three years of college. Got an Associates degree plus another year. I'd do something similar to CSB: take a course such as "Finite Mathematics" on campus nights and weekends you're not in the field. Then go CLEP or DANTES the next higher-level course. You'd usually smoke it.
Problem is that I then went to Boston College where they said: "Yes, we're impressed. How do you wish to apply these credits?" What they meant was that they would only take the core credits for an actual degree program. For example, all the medical stuff would apply ONLY if I was pursuing a nursing degree. What everything boiled down to was they accepted one year of the core subjects out of the three years I had. I didn't bitch too much as at the time BC was 25K a year (I was only getting 200 bucks a month out of VEAPs if any of ya'll remember that piece of crap program), so I quickly went into debt; but it saved me a year's tuition.
If you KNOW what degree you want to pursue, knock the core credits out (math, english, science, history), and then go on to pursue courses in that field. You will get more hours applied towards your degree but any school WILL require a certain residency or amount of courses to be taken under their purview.
Good luck!!
