Review:

I have been going to school at TESC for 2 1/2 years now and have been very pleased with the online format. It is accredited by the same regional body as the brick and mortar school that I attended before, so its legitimacy is valid. I had grown frustrated with having to go to classes and miss out on family time (I am married with small children), but now I can attend class even while on family vacations. You have to be a very self-sufficient student as most of what you do is without the direct guidance of instructors. The only complaints that I have is the lack of efficiency in the administrative offices and the lack of consistency in the quality of instructors (this is true of any school that I have attended). Overall, I feel very lucky that I found a way to work toward a degree on my own time without compromising the time I can spend with my family.
