I don't recall an entrance essay. The have what is called a CPS or Concentration Plan of Study. Where you submit a resume and list your courses or tests that you plan to take then describe you interests and goals and such. You do this after you are admitted. Then before you graduate you write an Academic Autobiography where you describe your courses and what you have learned and how you have benefited in your personal and professional life. They assign an advisor once you are admitted and they will answer your questions.
Yes, they were always very helpful and they accepted the ECE World Conflicts exam as a history credit for myself a few years ago.
Good Luck,

Yes it must be the CPS or Concentration Plan of Study I am thinking about.
Please tell me more about what they expect in this essay.

Hi Bandele,

COSC should evaluate your credit hours when you apply. The 75.00 fee includes evaluation of your transcripts and they will provide you with a preliminary plan that explains the credits they are accepting.

There is not an essay with the Concentration Plan of Study. This is a written plan that you should complete once you have reached 60 credit hours. It is a simple outline form. Pull up the form here: Bachelor's, Baccalaureate Degree - business administration, health, child studies
and select your intended major. This will provide a fill-in outline format. If you have a more specific question it may help to contact your advisor at COSC.

Bandele, (i'm being funny when I say this, not hostile k?) but, if there is an essay, you're gonna fail it with your spelling and grammatical errors!
