Low residency requirements

[addision]

Ok, I have searched nearly every state for colleges and universities that have lower residency requirements. Now I only searched public institutions and private schools with well known B&M campuses (USC as an example).

As many of you posted the average in residency requirement is about 30 units. What I came to find out is that many states set these limits for state schools. Unless a school has an agreement with a community college system or another college, the 30 units is fairly standard.

Yes, there are some private institutions that will allow you more leeway, I was looking for a more traditional well known college for distance learning. However, Strayer looks a little better thanks to its history (thanks Jansroots).

So, unless you are looking to go the route of the Big 3, you should expect to have to complete 30-33 units at the school you want your degree from. This was a big bummer for me. I was hoping to at least find a few schools that would fall in the middle somewhere about 15-20 units. Yet the only schools where that could be found were those that had specific degree plan agreements with a community college or college system. So that would not work if you were out of state unless you wanted to commit to taking all your GE from one particular community college to qualify for the transfer agreement.
