Hey guys can you tell me if COSC requires upper level classes? do they accept NA credits ? (non ace approved) thanks!
Yes and No (never asked). They do require 15 credits (when I got my BS but I think it is 18 now) in upper division. I earned most through DANTES and, I think, ECE exams. I did not try to transfer NA credits.
400 plus They do not take NA Credits (as far as I know). When I finished my program they required 15 upper level classes, which according to COSC means 400+. I had a lot of 300 level classes which they considered lower level. For upper level it needs to be an upper level DANTES or an upper level CLEP or a class that is number 400 plus (454 Real Estate Finance - or something like that).
COSC requires 18 upper division credits as part of your "concentration". Some upper division credits from other schools may not translate into upper division credits at COSC if they are considered to be introductory courses in the subject (regardless of the course number series designated by the other school). To my knowledge, they do not accept NA credits. Danny
COSC Master List of Exams: http://www.charteroak.edu/Current/Academics/EarningCredits/exam/exams-master-list-2008.pdf COSC Upper Level Requirements: Baccalaureate Concentration Through the Concentration Plan of Study process, each candidate for the bachelor’s degree must establish and complete a faculty-approved concentration of 36 credits or more in a single subject area or combination of subject areas with which they demonstrate in-depth knowledge within one or more fields of study. At least 15 credits in the concentration (18 in Individualized Studies and Liberal Studies concentrations) must be at the upper (Junior/Senior) level. The remaining credits may be spread across the lower level (typically freshman and sophomore or 100/200) level. Acceptance of the concentration plan is dependent upon the faculty’s approval of the proposed courses and the rationale presented by the student. Since all colleges and universities do not follow the same course numbering system, Charter Oak will make the final determination of course level.
