A lot of specific majors at EC and TESC already require a capstone course, and COSC already requires a capstone for all their degrees, too. I sorta thought something like this would happen after COSC started a capstone requirement and TESC upped their upper-level requirement. Things are getting a bit less lenient overall.
I don't think it's all that bad, although no one will be able to 100% test out of a degree, we're only talking about one online or distance-learning class, which is still amazing. A 3-credit residency is still so much better than a 30 (or more) credit residency. You could still test out of and transfer 116 credits into a degree (subtracting info lit which barely qualifies as a course anyway). The Big Three will still be easier to work with alternative credit than 3000 other schools in the country.
