v Of particular interest were the colleges that REQUIRE three years (as you know many colleges require two, but in reality want three years of the same language.) Following is that list:
Temple University
Tufts University
SUNY at Albany
Thomas College
D’Youville University
Hartwick College
Elmira College
Bentley College
Keuka College
NONE of these colleges are on the UNM list as of yet, but they will be when Mr. Wilcox does the next list update.
In addition, the following colleges will also be added to the list at the next update. Approximately 2/3 of them require 2 years, and the other 1/3 require 1 year. There are a few that have no requirement but would regard it as “unique” and a good way to make a student “stand out” on his/her transcripts.
Plymouth State (NH)
Colorado State University
Unity College (MA)
Clark University (MA)
Babson College (MA)
Framingham State College (MA)
Merrimack College (MA)
Regis College (MA)
Simon’s Rock College of Bard (MA)
Western New England College (MA)
Worcester State College (MA)
Siena College (NY)
Guilford College (NC)
Bowling Green State University (OH)
Arcadia University (PA)
Messiah College (PA)
Seton Hill (PA)
Bryant University (RI)
Castleton State College (VT)
Green Mountain College (VT)
Southern Vermont College

Marymount University (VA)
Adding these to the Wilcox list makes a total of 186, and the number is increasing yearly.
