Is there any college that will give letter grades for transferred study.com courses?

Why can't a standard for all credits be created so there is no more confusion.

Because there's no financial/business incentive to do so, and government-initiated action is an anathema to the American way.

In all seriousness, the current status quo benefits individual universities, as it allows them to retain most of the power and decision-making. The only way this would change is if universities unanimously agreed to relinquish that control to an external body, which I can't see happening.

It is a capitalistic market, all this only drives students and future job seekers to better options overseas.

European colleges are much cheaper even for international students.

I know of nobody who went to a European college because it was cheaper.

But, I know MANY people who to did other thing to cut costs - went to a CC first,; took DE in high school; took AP courses/exams; took CLEP and DSST exams; chose less expensive colleges; worked to get scholarships; worked and saved before going to college; got tuition reimbursement from their job; did not go to college at all.  Lots of options for people who can't afford a 4yr university straight out of high school.
