"The Big 2....?"

[rebel100]

I didn't read every reply, so sorry if this is repetitive. Couple of things though...

Excelsior, all three actually, have specialties that the others do not. particularly EC has a transitional RN program unlike anything else in the whole country. Basically qualified folks like Paramedics and LPN's can transition to RN via testing out...it's one of the biggest programs in NY and unlike anything else you can find (in fact if you know of anything significantly like it please tell me).

Next...testing out of a degree is hard for some folks to fathom. It doesn't seem real to many so these capstone's and cornerstone's and such add to the legitimacy in the minds of some. COSC is good at this.

COSC does a terrific job of hand holding and guiding the more traditional student. I wish TESU was more like them in that way...heck, if TESC had an actual person answering their phone I would probably have graduated there.
