Choosing a School - need your help
#2
As a Charter Oak grad (as of next weekend!), naturally, I'm a bit biased. As you've seen, Charter Oak offers several DSST, CLEP, and TESC testing dates per month. Also, their tuition for in-state residents is great. The other public colleges (Southern, Eastern, UCONN, etc.) charge about twice as much per individual class. In my experience, the quality of Charter Oak's online classes is excellent. I believe there are a small number of classes (maybe two or three) that still require a written midterm and/or final, but that has largely been phased out.

I had a fantastic experience at Charter Oak and I recommend it highly. However, from what I have read here and in other forums, Excelsior and TESC offer great programs, too. I just don't have any personal experience with them.

Good luck with your decision! No matter which school you choose, you'll be glad you finished your degree.
