Want to Earn a COSC degree? Start Here!! - natshar - 07-10-2020 Want to earn you degree at Charter Oak? Read this first and hopefully it answers all your questions. Charter Oak is an American public state university in Connecticut. The unique thing about Charter Oak (COSC) is that you can transfer up to 114 credits from other sources for a bachelors degree. There are only 3 universities in the country that this policy, most require at least 30 taken at their school, with more elite schools requiring 60. One way to earn credits is through ACE. These you can earn at your own pace and cheaper than most traditional college credit. COSC policy: "All courses, programs, or exams offered by alternative educational providers (non-regionally accredited entities) recommended for credit by NCCRS or ACE will not be accepted in transfer unless an agreement with the provider and Charter Oak exists. Students will be limited to a total of 90 degree-applicable credits from non-regionally accredited course providers, even if an agreement is in place." Charter Oak currently has ACE agreements with the following organizations as of July 2020: StraighterLine
Also a part of that 90 credit limit: CLEP, DSST, AP: https://www.charteroak.edu/catalog/current/sources_credit/2020-21_list_of_tests_and_credit_values.pdf
If you choose to do 90 credits via CLEP and/or ACE then that means you need 30 credits from regionally accredited sources. Some ideas. These do NOT count towards the 90 limit:
Requirements for a Bachelors Degree at Charter Oak
As of July 2020, the base cost of just COSC's tution and fees is about 3600 and that doesn't include the cost of the 114 credits you are transferring it. If you starting from scratch and have no prior credits, I'd budget at 5k for your degree just be safe, although it could likely be done cheaper. Maybe 10k - 12k on the high end of the budget for a degree. What degrees you can earn: https://www.charteroak.edu/prospective/programs/ Associates degrees follow the same rules are above. Except 45 credit limit from ACE, CLEP and no capstone so only 3 semesters and one course at COSC. And yes can earn a associates and then a bachelors after or both simultaneously. Note that not all degrees can earned via ACE some will and extensive amount of RA course work that could make the difficult and/or expensive. RE: Want to Earn a COSC degree?

================= How do you receive the 10% discount? I've been transferred from financial aid to the bursar's to admissions and told I'd receive an email and still nothing since last week. I'm assuming it's 10% off the tuition or is it off of all cost (including tech fee and student services)? RE: Want to Earn a COSC degree?

You still must pay: nathshar, Can you expand on "Even if you do the bare minimum you must pay for fees for 2 semesters worth and 6 credits worth of tuition." We are currently trying to develop a degree plan for daughter to do COSC BA General Studies. -not liking the choice of online concentrations - and from the forums, I only see 3 or 4 courses thorough SDC and DSST that can be used for UL. Thus, I am wondering more about the 2 semester statement in case it is the answer to reaching the 30 credit UL requirement. Thank you. RE: Want to Earn a COSC degree?

You don't need 30 UL in the concentration. You need 30 UL total (so it can be a mix of business and psych and history for one example) https://study.com/college/school/charter-oak-state-college.html and COSC master list of test for other DSST and TECEP and uexcel stuff for current UL. https://www.charteroak.edu/catalog/current/sources_credit/2020-21_list_of_tests_and_credit_values.pdf RE: Want to Earn a COSC degree?

You still must pay: I am referring the fact that there are two courses that must be taken at COSC (capstone and cornerstone) and they can not be taken during the same semester. I don't know the exact courses for exact degrees. And I'm just saying hypothetically if someone had previous RA credit (or ACE credit) that was upper level and had 114 credits transferred in, they would still need 2 semesters at COSC. I am not sure if 114 credits for a bachelor's can be found to meet all requirements from ACE anymore or not. |
