#11
Of those schools with published admissions rates, none were particularly selective. Low admissions standards are more likely to provide debt for all than opportunity for all.

75 CLEP U.S. History II
63 CLEP College Algebra
70 CLEP Analyzing and Interpreting Literature
68 DSST Technical Writing
72 CLEP U.S. History I

I would guess TESU has a high dropout rate and a higher than normal rate of graduate underemployment and that this is especially true for those attending in a more traditional way than is advocated for here. The number of people transferring in disparate credits for a degree or pursuing the methods used on DegreeForum game the numbers to lower the average debt, but it's still hard out there for other grads of the school.

So DegreeForum member's generally higher graduation rate and lower debt rate helps TESU look better? Glad we could help! Big Grin

They are a state university.  Even non-profits need to make a profit.  It's good that TESU makes a profit.

That's assuming our graduation rate is actually higher. I'm fairly confident our average degree is lower, anyway.
