The State University of New York has taken one or two steps in this direction by mandating that, when a student transfers from one SUNY school to another, specific "path way" courses (i.e. those designated as lower division courses required in a particular major) must transfer anywhere within the state system. For example, if a student completes, say, principles of macroeconomics at a SUNY community college and the student transfers to, say, SUNY Bingamton and majors in economics, the macro principles course must be accepted at SUNY Binghamton.
Unfortunately, when the various SUNY economics departments were involved in defining these "path way" courses, the flagship schools (Bingamton, Buffalo, Albany) were keen to load them up with math requirements. I'm not sure that the definition of quality that comes from a flagship school is going to be the best definition.
