Importance of GPA on a Bachelors Degree?
#8
What do you want to major in for your master's degree? I don't see the incentive for attending CCU when you can get a cheap, RA degree that's self-paced from WGU or Patten University. Does CCU even require a minimum undergraduate GPA? I can't find anything on their website.

I graduated without a GPA from TESC, but I did have graded credits from other colleges, so it really hasn't been an issue for me. I've applied for a lot of federal government jobs, and it seems like GPA is important to them. As Prloko said, they don't care about NA vs. RA (although, I'm sure they have a bias toward more prestigious schools). Most private employers don't even know that there is such a thing as NA vs. RA, but a lot of local and state agencies do. I've found the local and state agencies in Texas to be generally not accepting of NA degrees. For business, very few companies will ask for AACSB accreditation. Of course, an NA for-profit won't have this. Programmatic accreditation is more important in mental health/healthcare and engineering.

TESC used to offer a 1-credit, Jane Austen course, but I think it's gone.

Edit: Sorry, the Jane Austen course still exists. I heard it's really easy.
