Switching from TESC to Excelsior or Charter Oak

I know a lot of folks get hung up on this. I understand your argument, but address this by simply stating I have a BS degree in Organizational Leadership and Health Care, I've been through a couple of background checks that involved moderate to high scrutiny and no one has questioned it.

It provides an effective way to blend subject areas, the greatest virtue is the flexibility inherent in the planning and execution. she asked how to study a subject yet keep costs down....this is how I would do it.

Why not say what's on the transcript? I don't call my BA in Social Science a BA in Psychology/Criminal Justice. I usually just explain in my cover letters what my courses covered. I also think I put a quick mention on my resume. I might have been unknowingly weeded out by HR software for many jobs, but I've also gotten several interviews that wanted a degree in psychology, criminal justice, or a similar degree. I kind of do wish I would have gotten my degree in one or the other, but I'm not going to be dishonest about it. Government agencies are more likely to closely look at transcripts, and they frown upon embellishing.

This might offend someone, but HR specialists aren't the brightest people. I would be wondering which school in this country offers a degree in Organizational Leadership and Health Care? But, the least you can do is be honest to the people you're giving advice to. Tell them you are referring to individualized studies, and that it is your personal choice to refer to your degree by an unofficial title. You're making it seem like students can just invent an official concentration/major, and it might confuse some.
