Review:

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

Review:

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 with via e-mail and/or phone. I had a math professor who offered weekly call-in hours for help. The content and structure of most classes is challenging and rewarding. You WILL get a quality education at Charter Oak. My concentration was psychology. I sat for the psychology GRE and did very well thanks to comprehensive/challenging classes I took through COSC. 

Third, in addition to taking online classes, you can also obtain credit through portfolio reviews and standardized tests, such as CLEP, DANTES, Excelsior, and the GRE. These options help students save a great deal of time and money (although class tuition is very reasonable).  

Finishing a degree at Charter Oak is really THE way for adults with work and family responsibilities to complete their education. I have a demanding, rotating work schedule, so I was not able to attend traditional college classes. 

I am proud to be an alumna of Charter Oak State College.   

Excellent School

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.

Review:

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..
