WGU best option for me?

[tlashurst]

The reason for no way to get transcripts is, I took IT classes with a community college partnership, had to drop out due to medical concerns. The company who I took the courses through, mistakenly did not cancel the remainder of the courses and said I owed. This was nearly 18 years ago, the company is now defunct and I am unable to contact them to resolve and have spend many years going back and forth with the Comm college and it is only for maybe 12 credit.....so the hassle was not even worth it, and I have since taken those same courses with Straighterline and completed. I do not have a financial obligation that would hold up anything. What would be the benefit of COSC over WGU?

Any of the Big 3 should be contenders, two of them, COSC and TESC, have the added benefit of being State schools. Excelsior has a long and solid past as well.

I'm concerned about your statement that there is no way to get transcripts from your old CC. This may cause you some trouble depending on why your locked out. If it's a debt issue you may have to settle that before other schools will want to take you on...just consider the implications in your plans.

I went the Organizational Behavior/Leadership route at COSC and I've been pleased with it. It prepared me well for the WGU MBA. I found Charter Oak very flexible in designing a course of studies that took advantage of existing credits and credit by exam. They also accept FEMA free of charge, those are a fast way to rack up credit at an unbeatable price. If you focused in on the Charter Oak Gen Eds and completed around 24 fema credits you would have an AS very quickly and could figure out your remaining credits for the Bachelors.
