Hell, look at the list of colleges on their website which includes "Tunxis Community College". This college was 1/4 mile from where I use to live. The students who went there did so because they didn't get accepted ANYWHERE else.
Charter Oak may very well be a very good school. However saying that they are good because of the NEASC or the book they use doesn’t hold much water. The books they use are meaningless; it’s how well they are able to get the information across to the students. Based on Prinston Review, People who consider Charter Oak also usually consider Albertus Magnus College and Central Connecticut State University. So that’s probably about where Charter Oak ranks. In general however, the student determines far more about what they get from college then the school. Schools like Harvard and Yale do as well as they do not only because they have the best Professors, but because they are starting with the best students.

I did say, however, that Charter Oak is under the same accrediting and governing body as Harvard and Yale, and that speaks highly of an educational institution. The New England Association of Schools and Colleges doesn't just accept any Joe Shmoe who wants to start up a college. There are rigorous education and quality standards the school must meet. That isn't easy to do. Charter Oak has been around for some 33 years, and is highly successful. Why do you think I chose them? I want you to think about that for a minute. I also looked at the books for the classes at Charter Oak and compared them to other universities, and guess what... THEY ARE THE SAME BOOKS.
The professors are mostly PhD's, and a lot of MBA's too. The professors at Charter Oak are leaders in their industry, high-level executive managers, etc. and they bring a lot of knowledge to the table... just like at other universities. Charter Oak was designed for the working professional in mind... people who don't have time to commute to a brick-and-mortar campus after working all day. Yes, Charter Oakis a prestigious college/b] when you look at their curriculum, accreditation, and quality of their professors.
Distance learning expert Dr. Steve Levicoff earned his bachelor's degree at Thomas Edison State College. He amassed an astonishing ninety-eight college credits using portfolio assessment. Since the average college degree is about one hundred twenty units, this gives you some idea of the possibilities. He was able to prove knowledge in such diverse areas as "Folk Music in the United States," "Advanced Radio Production," and "Society & Sexual Variations."

Most major universities WILL give you phys ed credit if you've been in the military... other than that... ha.
If I were to ask my school if I could get credit for work experience I'd get laughed out of the program. Hense why I think the qualitiy of education of Charter Oak is suspect.

This is opposed to college, whereis as long as the checks clear, you're still in.
