What are the weirdest programs you know?
#5
Basically, many institutions worldwide have interesting regulations or rules, an example - the Big 3 (COSC, Excelsior, TESU) are the weirdest ones in the US, previously they allowed 100% transfer for their degrees! After say 2010, in 2011 they started to implement the requirement of Associates/Bachelors capstones that can't be transferred over. So far, the capstone/cornerstone remains the only ones that need to be completed at these (Excelsior also needs the Info Lit).

The bulk of the institutions we recommend that are competency based and allow alternative credit, you can transfer in 75% or up to 90 credits or so into the degree programs... Heck, I remember earlier when Excelsior had the MPA program at 33 credits, at a point in time, that degree allowed 30 credits to be transferred in, a few years ago, they dropped that down to 30 credits as a requirement and 27 transferable, lastly in 2019, they changed that to only allow 15 credits.
