I'm curious what you mean by efficient?  I'm currently trying to assess which school would be better for this type of degree: TESU or Excelsior.

Generally, Excelsior College does not tell me what courses to take for GEN ED.  TESU does.  30 years later I was able to get a second BS from 1980 credits from Excelsior College  Not so with TESU that keeps changing them.  I applied to both.  They are more flexible with GED ED which I personally hate.  I find UL DSST exam easier compared to LL.

TESU will take credits from 1980 just like EC or COSC will take.  It might be that the credits you've brought in were more conducive to a particular degree at EC - but that doesn't mean that TESU might not be a better choice for someone else.

When I brought in my credits, TESU happened to be the best choice for me - they fit perfectly into a BSBA in HR.  At EC, I would have had to go higher in math than I wanted (precalc for the BSBA there), and I didn't have enough UL credits for the degree (I already had all of my UL at TESU).  It just really depends on the degree, and the previous credits earned.  There is no single right choice for everyone.

And, BTW - when I first came to this forum, EC degrees were different than they were now.  They had more - they've gotten rid of a lot.  Added some, but gotten rid of more.  Some of their gen ed requirements changed (they added ethics I think).

All schools change their degrees periodically.  BUT, unlike COSC and EC, TESU lets you lock in a catalog and then take practically as long as you'd like to get your degree, for no added costs except a TECEP once a year (which is $75 and earns you credits towards your degree).  I took 3 1/2 years to get my degree at TESU after enrollment, locking in my 2014/15 catalog, which meant no changes to my degree from that point forward.  At EC/COSC, in order to stay locked in, I would have had to pay per-term fees every few months, and it would have cost me several thousand dollars just to do that at either of those schools.  At TESU, there are no per-term fees.
