CUNY - Online Degree Completion ($4,575! Transfer up to 105 credits out of 120!)

WGU is similar... transfer problems are one of the biggest negatives against them and the #1 catalyst for rant threads about them on this forum. The Big 3 are much more generous in how they evaluate and apply transfer credits.

As long as people keep this in mind when considering CUNY, it could still be a good (and relatively inexpensive) option for people looking to complete a partially finished degree.
Something I've seen on these forums (and probably just in general) is that people get very set on one specific school, to the point that they don't - or even won't - consider other options. There's a lot of merit in sending your credits in to several schools, see how they evaluate them, and then going with whichever school makes the most sense for your time and your professional goals.
It might cost an extra $50 or $100 in transcripts, but it's potentially saving you $300 per credit and hours of time.

If I had a CUNY evaluation that forced me to retake one or two courses, I might accept that in exchange for a better ranked school. But if their evaluation came back as disregarding 50 of my earned credits, I might go with Excelsior or TESU.

Still a good thing that more and more schools are coming on board with degree completion and competency programmes. 5000 is a remarkably decent price for a bachelor's degree from a good US uni.
