COSC Accepting few SDC credits

[dfrecore]

I don't think that COSC belongs in the "Big Three" any longer. For example, with regards to SDC they are down to a total of 50 courses that they will even accept for credit, and it's pretty much a guaranty that all of those will be strategically "Lower Level."

The Big 3 will take 113/114 credits of transfer. This does NOT mean they'll take 113/114 credits of transfer of ACE, but that you only have to take 2(3) courses at that school.  It also does not mean that they won't be a pain in the butt, give wrong answers regularly, or anything else - it's JUST that they will take 94%/95% transfer. Oh yeah, and it doesn't mean that every degree they offer will be feasible - there are plenty that require specific courses that can't be found inexpensively, which may make the degree way too expensive to take there.

I like to refer to any school that will accept 75% transfer, and ACE credit, as a High Credit Transfer (HCT) school.  A category all it's own.  

UMPI will never be in that Big 3 category; neither will WGU, or any other school that requires at least 25%/30cr to be taken there.  That does not mean that they're not a good option, or that they won't become a popular option, just that they will never be in the Big 3 category because they're not the same.

There are reasons to choose one of the Big 3, and just as many reasons NOT to choose them.  It just depends on your situation.
