This is an excellent point. I actually thought about this too. I agree that it's a big piece of the puzzle, and in defense of COSC, it was completely out of their control. If UExcel still existed, it would make many degree plans easier, at COSC and elsewhere.

I guess the closest fit when it comes to acceptable self-paced online courses is LSU's self paced courses, but I'd concede that they're very pricy.
Yes, it's true that these can help in limited scenarios. I'm also wondering if UoPeople could be a good source of transfer credit to COSC now that they're RA?

I actually suspect that 90 credits may be pretty good with the right plan. COSC's per-credit tuition is competitive with SNHU, so it could be somewhat compelling. I think what holds many students back is overall fewer alt credit courses that transfer, more fees, and far fewer options for majors. Still though, at some point I'd like to play around with some 90-credit COSC degree plans to see how they stack up against SNHU.
