Just for the record, there are tons of colleges of all kinds (public, private, online, brick & mortar, traditional, nontraditional) that accept 90 credits, requiring that the remaining credits be taken at the school. The Big 3 are unique in that you can transfer in 4 years of college work and only complete one or two classes at the school from which you intend to graduate. What Patten does have in common with the Big 3 is that it accepts credits approved through the NCCRS and ACE, CLEP, etc. And some other colleges and universities will allow those as well. I just haven't found a ton of colleges that accept so many credits from different types of sources. Although, as CM1999 points out, Patten doesn't allow students to deviate from their curriculum.
