That can't be right though fondue,
If EC were all about bilking maximum profits out of us, they would not accept 120 credits in transfer. Rather, they would force us to take THEIR OWN courses and pay a premium for each one.
They are, of course, in it to make a profit just like any other business. However, if making the maximum profit out of each student truly was their goal, they are not doing a very good job of it.
If you were actually in a position to transfer in all 120 credits needed for an Excelsior degree, the total costs you would pay to Excelsior would only be approximately $1,490.
I can't think of many universities that would allow a student to graduate from their institution without first making sure they had paid many times that amount into the coffers.
It's all relative!
