    Default Residency requirement

    Does anyone know of any other colleges except the Big 3 that do not require a residency requirement? I am majoring in accounting and have the majority of my credits.

    Exclamation Residency

    Most colleges require at least 30 credits from that university to graduate. Excelsior, Charter Oak, and TESC are the only three I have ever stumbled upon and I've done a pretty thorough online search.

    Are you sure that you need to look any further for a better residency requirement?
