In most cases you can check what the general education requirements are. Then you can see if you took a class that matches what is acceptable at the Universities you’re considering.
It also depends on whether you’re applying to a public instate university that routinely accepts cc classes as substitutes, a university OOS, or an elite private university. Elite Universities are unlikely to accept a lot if auxh transfer credit and OOS universities may have very specific criteria to accept a cc class or not.
As for the subjects, outside if open curriculum schools and correct curriculum schools, which tend to be at opposite end of the spectrum in terms of requirements, roughly 25-30% of your curriculum will be taken through these distribution and general skill requirements, to ensure you’re well-educated.
Many colleges require one class in the arts (art history, drawing, music appreciation, drama…), several classes in the humanities (Literature, philosophy, etc.), social sciences, and sciences (with typically two if three streams, one for non majors so the focus is on understanding the world around you, premed, and stem/engineering majors), plus demonstrating a certain level in a foreign language and in quantitative skills. Some Universities also require religion, American history, or American government classes.
