Is it possible to get a bachelor's degree in anything with mostly Sophia, etc?

Excelsior is not harder to transfer ACE credit to now, they just changed a couple of requirements for a couple degrees (like Business Writing instead of English Comp II for the Business degree, which to me is actually preferable).  They also accept NCCRS credit, including lots of UL from Coopersmith.  They have not changed their ACE/NCCRS credit policies at all as far as I know, and I've been on here for 13+ years - their degrees are actually as easy to get now than they used to be.  And their tuition actually went down a couple of years ago for those who are on the 113cr transfer plan.  And they are the only one of the Big 3 that has no RA requirement which is a huge bonus for anyone starting with zero credits, and who doesn't want to do a CBE program.  And their GE is still the easiest to meet out of any school I know of.

COSC is still an option if you already have 27cr of UL in the major, and they're still a lot cheaper than TESU or Excelsior (about $2,848 for 2 courses/6cr last I checked - you'd have to finish the cornerstone in the first half of a term and the capstone in the 2nd half).  You can't beat that with a stick, again, for anyone who has a lot of RA credits already, especially UL, and doesn't want to do a CBE program.

I thought TESU had a Cornerstone, Capstone, and the literacy course. EU was not super easy to transfer to in my experience. The advisors didn't know much about anything except their own courses. I had a ton of RA credit and much of it was useless there. They have time limits with their business degrees for transfer credit of any source. EU also now charges a few hundred bucks for every transcript evaluation after your first one. That can add up quickly. 

If one already has 27 UL RA credits, they should be really close to finishing their degree at their school so why transfer to COSC? I can't tell you the last time I saw anyone on here recommend COSC. TESU and UMPI seem to be the most popular right now.
