Has the big three status been preserved? Barely. They are putting up ever-increasing and more ridiculous obstacles on the educational path of non-traditional students. At a certain point, the "generous" transfer policy will be littered with so many obstacles and caveats that the standard single school 30-credit requirement will look like a smaller and more straightforward challenge to tackle.

I'll bite: which of these do you consider to be a "ridiculous obstacle"?

1. Fulfill general education requirements, including their Cornerstone course

2. Fulfill the requirements for a concentration, including their Capstone course.

3. Earn 24 more credits from COSC itself, regionally accredited transfer credit, TECEP exams, NYU language exams, or UExcel exams.

4. Earn 90 more credits from (3) or from a very wide variety of ACE approved providers, including AP, CLEP, DSST. StraighterLine, Sophia, SDC, or other non-traditional sources.

5. At least 30 of those 120 credits must be upper division.

6. At least 60 of those 120 credits must be liberal arts.

Yeah I agree. The obstacle aren't that "ridiculous" so you need need to 24 RA credit. That's only 8 courses. There are so many options to do that for cheap and/or fast! In fact it might even be helpful if you choose a certain major or concentration that can't found all via ACE. Plus, a lot of people wanting to do COSC already have 24 RA credits from the past
