Why Charter Oak State College is better than Thomas Edison State College

[KittenMittens]

Excelsior College is a non-profit college, and one of the oldest distance learning schools in the United States with over 40,000 students. The school is not even ran like a for profit, so for you to place Excelsior along with the likes of for-profit schools when Excelsior graduates can be found in more places than Charter Oak State College graduates, its just hilarious.

Whats your major, by the way?

I think you should re-read what I wrote more carefully. I didn't compare the education, or the credentials of Excelsior College to for-profit schools like Devry, Kaplan, or University of Phoenix, I specifically compared the NAME. Just like how a Hyundai or Kia don't have the brand name of a Honda or Toyota and the reputation, but they are now known for being extremely well built, reliable cars. I think you guys are reading too much into the name game – and not the more technical points several of which have been brought up by others. And I did my undergraduate degree in India in Economics and Political Science (though we followed the British System so our grading was different, and college there is only 2 years not 4 years). I had about 60 credits transferred in through WES –*and needed to finish another 60 credits through the States. I will be receiving my B.S. in Business Administration.
