CUNY - Online Degree Completion ($4,575! Transfer up to 105 credits out of 120!)

[ss20ts]

Based on your experience, it sounds like they may be very picky about what courses they accept to meet degree requirements. WGU is similar... transfer problems are one of the biggest negatives against them and the #1 catalyst for rant threads about them on this forum. The Big 3 are much more generous in how they evaluate and apply transfer credits.

As long as people keep this in mind when considering CUNY, it could still be a good (and relatively inexpensive) option for people looking to complete a partially finished degree.

Something I've seen on these forums (and probably just in general) is that people get very set on one specific school, to the point that they don't - or even won't - consider other options. There's a lot of merit in sending your credits in to several schools, see how they evaluate them, and then going with whichever school makes the most sense for your time and your professional goals.
It might cost an extra $50 or $100 in transcripts, but it's potentially saving you $300 per credit and hours of time.

If I had a CUNY evaluation that forced me to retake one or two courses, I might accept that in exchange for a better ranked school. But if their evaluation came back as disregarding 50 of my earned credits, I might go with Excelsior or TESU.

Still a good thing that more and more schools are coming on board with degree completion and competency programmes. 5000 is a remarkably decent price for a bachelor's degree from a good US uni.

This is exactly what I did. I'm tired of the work involved at CSU Global. Writing a 3-5 page paper and cited discussions with headings every week for each class got REALLY old after 6 months. I'm still only half way through their requirements and I transferred in the maximum allowable credits. I started looking elsewhere so I would finish sooner and for less money and stress. I applied and accepted to EC, looked at NAU, looked at WGU, looked at TESU, looked at COSC, looked at Purdue Global, and applied and accepted at UMPI. I'm transferring to UMPI this month. I wanted to move to a competency based program so I can go at my own pace and not have to do these goofy cited discussions and responses anymore. No more weekly papers either. EC wasn't competency based but I have over 190 credits so I was hoping I would be really close to done...no such luck.
