She's undecided on a career but since she's young (17 yo) and ready to get her 4-year degree asap, almost any 4-year degree will do for now.  

She has strong interest in sociology, psychology, philosophy and ethics classes.  Future job prospects with a 4 year in any of these concentrations seem questionable.  She may need to get a second bachelor degree at some point and perhaps a master degree. 

Since I couldn't find a degree or concentration in Ethics on COSC's website, the courses I listed were a judgment - perhaps not a good one.  Now that COSC is limiting the ACE credits they will accept, we're re-evaluating TESU and Excelsior.  I had skipped TESU for a while because they had become more expensive than COSC - same for Excelsior.  However, if COSC requires 30 credits be fulfilled by RA schools, TESU & Exc just made a huge leap to the number 1 & 2 positions.  

Sad to see COSC is no longer a Big 3.  Guess it's the Big 2 at this point.

I've never seen an ethics concentration at any college or university. Usually you take one ethics course and you're done with ethics. It's great that you're picking courses for her. How involved in this plan is she? She needs to be invested in this and doing the legwork. She will be the one talking with colleges and figuring out her degree plan once she's enrolled. The colleges won't legally be able to discuss anything with you due to FERPA. Why doesn't she join the forum and ask questions? Has she started any of the Sophia courses? That might be a good start for her right now because everything on Sophia is free until July 31st. Distance learning isn't for everyone. Some people excel at it and others struggle immensely.
