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 of discussion boards in most classes. I say potentially because the biggest problem I had with COSC, and the reason I transferred to a traditional bricks-and-mortar university, were the other students. There are no admission requirements for COSC. Consequently, there were a lot of idiots who couldn't spell or write a coherent sentence, much less formulate an original thought. This made responding to discussion boards (a requirement in three of my classes) extremely painful. I felt like I was talking to kindergartners, and I knew I wasn't gaining anything of value from such discourse. I began to wonder if employers would respect a degree earned from COSC. I wondered if I would value and be proud of my college education if I remained there. I decided "no" on both counts, took the credits I had earned, and ran. That was two years ago. In five weeks I'll be graduating with my BA from a traditional state university, an accomplishment I'll be proud of for the rest of my life.

Excellent 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!

History Course (A people & A Nation) As a class taker at Charter Oak allow me to offer this review to any potential student thing about attending this fine college. The course was very interesting, the instructor was always in contact with the students, and the material was top notch. However, the quality of the VHS tapes was rather poor from usage. From the beginning to the end Charter Oak State College was number one in all aspects! The military department ar COSC is also top notch and they handle all military amd non-military issues with respect and speed. Overall a very nice experience..
