Charter Oak State College Reviews:

Value?
August 2, 2010
My issue would be the value of this degree. I have only taken one class and it was a fast short term eight week session. The class was ITE 101, I hardly did any work--logged in to take a quiz and a mid-term along with a final. I managed to get a 78.9% a C+. If I would have put an ouce of effort I am sure I would have received an A. Either this ...

Not good enougH

I took classes at COSC for two semesters. The professors had variable levels of interest in teaching an online course; I suspected some of them were in it to make a quick, hassle-free buck. Of course, this is encountered at a traditional school as well. The materials and assignments were also comparable to what one would find at a public college. There is potential for more student accountability at COSC because of the heavy use ...

The best way for a working adult to complete their degree. Charter Oak was founded as a degree completion state school and they deliver on that mission. The value is exceptional, the staff is incredibly supportive and the coursework is challenging and rewarding. This is not a fly-by-night operation. I would recommend this regionally accredited school to any working adult who has credit sitting about and wants to finish their degree.

There's really nothing negative to say

Without this college, getting my B/S would take forever! It only took me one year after all my transferred credits to graduate. I love Charter Oak and if I had to do it again, I would still choose Charter Oak State College!

Excellent school for working adults/parents
September 28, 2008
I can not say enough positive things about Charter Oak State College. I never would have completed my college degree without their flexible class and credit-earning options. First, the staff is wonderful. Everyone from financial aid counselors to academic advisors respond quickly and efficiently to all questions and inquiries. Typically, my advisor responded to my questions the same day. Second, the vast majority of the faculty is excellent. They are easy to get in touch ...

Excellent School
February 16, 2008
If it wasn't for Charter Oak, I never would have finished my college degree. As an adult working full-time (and then some) and raising my son, Charter Oak provided the only viable, affordable option for me to finish my degree. The support I received, both academic and administrative, was excellent. My entire educational experience with Charter Oak was top-notch. I highly recommend the school to all non-traditional learners.

Excellent value for the money! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. You develop a personal relationship over time with them over time.

I completed my BS in business in 1978. I had several jobs since then and the degree was never questioned. I retired as an Allstate Agent in Oct 2011. The knowledge and skills that I gained at COSC, and the degree, gave me the confidence that I needed to compete with the "boys" from better known schools and become very successful. COSC can get you in the door,,,it's up to you after that.  Chuck Smith BS 1978.

Definitely stay away from TESC. You only get answers about the programs after you pay $75.00. COSC or Excelsior would be the way to go. Here's a couple of examples my wife and I encountered, keep in mind, their person at the 800 number referred us to e-mail them, this is our reply:

At the undergrad level maybe the best DL school there is. The customer service is great and the school is reasonably priced.They offer a variety of ways to earn credit and have their own portfolio assessment.I liked the idea of a General Studies degree w/concentration. There is enough structure to it to more than adequately cover the subject.COSC was a great experience for me.

I took several classes at COSC, and they were all outstanding. Great instructors, materials and content.

This college, in my opinion is the most user friendly of the BIG THREE(TESC, EXCELSIOR and COSC).They make 110%  extra effort to ensure, students and potential students are happy and taken care of. They don't leave many questions unanswered. 

However, COSC is a bit pricy, and they also have several Fees for; matriculation, credit evaluation and portfolio assessment. IMHO this college is worth the extra money just for the great customer service alone.

My only issue with this college is the "General Studies major". COSC does not offer any traditional majors only concentrations. 

My personal preference is an outlined major, other than that, for me, this is a great place to attend!

Good luck
