SUNY Empire State College is similar to the Big 3 in its acceptance of the maximum credits it allows in for transfer as well as alternative credits, such as via CLEP, ACE, etc, experiential credits, portfolio reviews, etc.
Plus being SUNY it has that additional recognition as well.
And, if a student qualifies for the instate free tuition grant/scholarship, they could save even more money by attending SUNY ESC!
Is SUNY different than CUNY in policy? CUNY is very limited in what they actually accept, as noted in this thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...out-of-120 Basically, yes, you can transfer in a bunch of credits but good luck actually finding inexpensive credits that they'll accept.
Sort of - CUNY is sort of equivalent to the community colleges for NYC - which are part of the SUNY system, but also partially managed by individual locality - Their [SUNY ESC] residency requirement for a bachelor degree is 31 credits which is in the ballpark with the other ones listed. You may want to check out the following link: https://catalog.esc.edu/undergraduate/ea...-standing/ Plus I just did a search and it appears that SUNY ESC notes the following for CLEP acceptance: http://www.esc.edu/degree-planning-acade...es-credit/ - and I know in the past they were accepting ACE courses too.
