Thomas Edison State College

I was a Firecontrolman First Class in the Navy and I earned my AAS from TESC in 2008 just before my discharge. The support from the on base representative was outstanding and the PACE rep was equally impressive. TESC gave me the maximum allowable transfer credits from other colleges and Navy schools that I attended and I only had to take 2 courses to complete the degree. I also earned a BSAST but that review is in that section and is a totally different story. If you want to get a quick degree and you have a lot of schools and military training under your belt then give TESC a look. It is difficult to find a place that is accredited and yet willing to accept this amount of credit and issue a degree this quick.

I've been with TESC since 2009 with no complaints or regrets. Several months ago I completed an AAS (Associate's in Applied Science)and currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Electrical Technology. As a parent and active duty service member college seemed impossible but Thomas Edison has given my wife and I the oportunity to excel and achieve our short term goals. TESC base counselors are dedicated to review your military transcript and help you all the way through the college journey. It is simple, convinient and most important your Tuition Assistance covers almost all expenses(except books, but there are other programs that cover the cost not provided by the TA). There is no reason to achieve a degree while on active duty. Semper Paratus!

There seems to be quite a few negative reviews by people going through the dissertation phase at this time. Having successfully completed my degree quite recently, I know the process is an arduous one. However, this is a doctorate program! I can assure many of the writers that at no reputable school do you "breeze through" your dissertation without numerous revisions to your work. It is common for researchers to be told they need to reevaluate their hypothesis, build stronger research questions, or make significant revisions. While form may seem rather unimportant to many, in academia it is paramount. Expect to be held to rigid standards. I had a very supportive committee and chair at Northcentral who worked with me constantly (and not always gently!). Every question/revision/concern was dealt with properly, professionally and quickly. Also, the Learners' Portal has a specific section where dissertation candidates may compare progress and problems. Although Northcentral was not inexpensive,I feel it provided me with a quality learning experience.

with my prior education in HVAC/R I ran into a dead end in my career.I started taking management courses to moveup and started another degree.Fortunatly through Thomas Edison State College I was able to utilize my prior industry knowledge, consolidate my prior accredited education, and complete my Associates of Applied Science.Now I am working toward my Bachelors.The Bachelors portion consist of General Ed, engineering, physics with all my prior Business courses filling out my electives. Thomas Edison State College gaveme an oppertunity of a life time and gave my career life again.I am now looking into starting a masters program at Thomas Edison after my Bachlors Degree. THANKS TESC ! If this school isn't for you go somewhere else theeres plenty of schools out there. Its not a degree mill nor is it Ivy League. But for heavely experienced knowledgable hard working professionals its the best online institution.
