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. ...

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

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 ...

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.

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:

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
