Hi Folks
Just got outta work and reading through the New York Times ( a perk of the job) section A8 runs a very favourable story about the big three particularly TESC entitled "Adults are Flocking to Colleg that paved the way for flexibility" by Tamar Lewin
good to see some good writing about what we are trying to do.

And it has been real, he said: “Nobody I contacted about graduate programs seemed to look down on the Edison degree, and I got into every grad school I applied to.”
I have noticed many people worry about this. Even if it is a news article, its still good hear.
Thanks for posting this.
