Columbia Southern University recently increased their
maximum graduate transfer credit. "A minimum of 33%" of a master’s degree or postgraduate professional or doctoral program program "must be completed at CSU. Transfer credit for experiential learning may not exceed 25%" of a graduate degree program, and at the doctoral or postgraduate level can only apply to didactic courses.

So 67% of a masters or doctorate degree can be transferred in?!
Edit: yes, for masters and doctorates. Might be a good way to top-off a DBA.

I applied in the past , they are very strict on what they transfer , the course name and content must be exact to their course which includes the work required such as length of pages required for final etc.

Were you able to transfer anything? I just want to get a sense of how much of this transfer thing is just marketing.

I didn't see anyone mention Baker College's DBA-ABD program. You submit 32 credit hours of doctoral courses and you complete 28 hours of dissertation coursework. But the only thing right now is they are under governmental DOE investigation due to financial aid.

Columbia Southern having changed their maximum just recently, might have also changed how they assess each course.

out of over 100+ graduate credits, they took only nine credits. Don't be fooled by the number of credits they accept.

This seems typical of ABD programs. As the name says all but dissertation so you have completed all of the courses but you still have to complete your dissertation.
