I mean, I get it from their point of view. It does suck for them. They get ~$3500 at most for a lot of the members on this board. They actually got more from me, because I took several English courses with them. But if this model is hurting them so badly then they need to change their policies all at once.
It's like Pierpont. I have no idea why they allow the AAS BOG to be used by non-West Virginia residents with no residency requirements. Do not get me wrong, I'm glad they are, but we're actually costing them money. I'm so super surprised they have let it go on this way for so long.
It's silly that COSC is even complaining. They could add a residency waiver fee like TESU, and that would net them some extra cash. They could require 25% of the degree to be completed at COSC, or whatever. People aren't taking the courses with them because they cost too much. All they're going to do by taking away more sources of alternative credit is drive students to other schools. Even as recently as when I joined this board, the Big 3 were the only games in town. Now we have so many options, and that's a good thing. I know that most of the students that attend COSC take classes there beyond Cornerstone and Capstone by their own numbers, so how badly are the students on this board actually hurting the school? Their current model is set-up for degree completion, so either embrace it or change your model.
