Calling all "Big 3" graduates...what Grad programs were you able to transfer to?

[burbuja0512]

For those who graduated from Excelsior, Charter Oak State College and/or Thomas Edison State College and went on to earn your Masters, what schools were you able to gain acceptance into and for what major, if you don't mind me asking? Did you run into any bumps in the road when you went on to apply to grad programs with more traditional schools, per se? I'm more than likely going for Business or something Health related (Bachelors of Science) for my undergrad degree at either COSC or TESC (still trying decide which one) and I plan on transferring somewhere else to finish my Masters, but I'm wondering if anyone had any issues transferring to more traditional schools or if you kind of slipped right in. I'm considering finishing up my Masters at a tri-state area state university or the likes (SUNY, Seton Hall, Harford, Rutgers, etc.) I don't know if I am being unrealistic or not. Would greatly appreciate as many details as possible. I really love this forum. People seem SO motivated, strong, mature and genuinely helpful. Can't believe I didn't find you guys sooner!

Well... hopefully I will have a grad school of my own to report in a few months However, I can tell you about my bro. He graduated from COSC years ago, before they had any Capstone/Cornerstone requirements and got ALL of his credits through CLEP/DSST. He completed his masters at Texas A&M and is now working on his doctorate. (the doctorate is not through Texas A&M)

I don't know if he had any issues with getting accepted to the masters program, but I don't think so or I would have probably heard about it.

I want to go to grad school at Regis and I have called them to see if they have any problem with CLEP/DSST credits. They told me that there shouldn't be any issues. I guess we'll see..

Overall I think that there are plenty of programs out there that don't care about the non-traditional way we're getting our undergrad. However, if you have a specific school in mind, you'll need to find out how they view testing. I remember seeing someone on here not too long ago that was accepted to law school. I just can't remember. Hopefully others can chime in and share their experiences as well.
