EU requires some courses to be completed there and are more difficult to transfer ACE credit to now than in the past. COSC isn't even an option anymore. Just in the 3 years I've been on this forum, I've seem a TON of changes and none in favor of the student. So buckle up buttercup and get working on a degree before the methods on here are no longer an option or become more difficult, more expensive, and more time consuming.

TESU only requires 2 courses/6cr, Excelsior requires 3 courses/7cr.

Excelsior is not harder to transfer ACE credit to now, they just changed a couple of requirements for a couple degrees (like Business Writing instead of English Comp II for the Business degree, which to me is actually preferable).  They also accept NCCRS credit, including lots of UL from Coopersmith.  They have not changed their ACE/NCCRS credit policies at all as far as I know, and I've been on here for 13+ years - their degrees are actually as easy to get now than they used to be.  And their tuition actually went down a couple of years ago for those who are on the 113cr transfer plan.  And they are the only one of the Big 3 that has no RA requirement which is a huge bonus for anyone starting with zero credits, and who doesn't want to do a CBE program.  And their GE is still the easiest to meet out of any school I know of.

COSC is still an option if you already have 27cr of UL in the major, and they're still a lot cheaper than TESU or Excelsior (about $2,848 for 2 courses/6cr last I checked - you'd have to finish the cornerstone in the first half of a term and the capstone in the 2nd half).  You can't beat that with a stick, again, for anyone who has a lot of RA credits already, especially UL, and doesn't want to do a CBE program.
