I am also interested in hearing feedback regarding COSC degree planning.
How many ALEKS courses will COSC take?
Will COSC take all ACE-approved Straighterline courses as during their initial partnership the 'second semester' courses were not being taken by COSC. Does anyone know if this has changed in light of the ACE review?
COSC has a policy regarding the order of exams taken. So, if someone takes a more advanced psychology course, then later takes intro to psychology to get extra credit, credit will not be awarded for the introductory course. This is a particular concern when trying to satisfy a depth and the first exam taken in that depth was of a level which bars the student from testing out the rest of the depth!
COSC has a 3cr communications requirement (public speaking, etc) and also, I think, an ethics requirement (fair enough).
There's more personal feedback and experience info for EC and TESC compared to COSC available. It would be interesting to hear from anyone who is able to add anything regarding their Associates or Bachelors from COSC.
Finally, COSC charges comparable fees to EC and both are favourable compared to TESC. Being able to afford an education is great but choice is even better
Thanks guys.
