I'm sure you're correct they want you to spend money on classes with them, but I wouldn't doubt they also want more control over the student's education.
That's why almost all schools limit what you can transfer in or in some classes completely prevent transfer of credit like Berkeley's MBA.
Special Circumstances, Full-Time MBA Program - Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
They want to ensure the students that are graduating from their school meet their standards.
I would lean more towards them wanting to make more money versus caring about their students. I do agree with you about them wanting control over their student's education...with that comes the ability to steer them towards their programs, courses, books etc and keeps the money in-house.
A course in history taken at this college, versus online, is still teaching the same history. Why do they insist that their student take their school's history course, prevent the transferring of the same history credits from another school and forbid to accept Clep credits? It's all about the greenback.
