Steve do you know when the 30 credits in house will take effect?
Thank you in advance for your answer.

It's just a proposal at this point. And again, they're only talking about the degrees with majors. The general studies program with its concentrations will still be 114 credit transfer compliant.

I wonder if this is an accreditation thing, most institutions require degrees to have at least 25% or 30 credit residency. I think the Big 3 is going to move towards this requirement sooner or later...

From what they said, NEASC does expect a 30 credit minimum from the awarding institution, but Charter Oak's existing programs are grandfathered not to require that.
