You should be able to look at the different gen ed requirements on each college’s website. At my school, we have certain required areas and multiple classes can fulfill the area. For example, we have a continuing writing area and any class designated as writing intensive qualifies. This could be from any subject and not just English or Creative Writing.

In terms of transferring credits, the best way to see if a course from a cc counts for anything is to see if there correspond with a class from the university. If you’re taking an algebra-based physics class and the university also offers it, then you can just check if it lists what gen ed requirements it fulfills. My school has a course catalog/course atlas where you can look at course organized by what gen ed they meet, so you should see if the colleges you’re applying to also have that.
