Marshall,

For me, a huge factor in going with a different college was that Charter Oak doesn't offer specific majors. Instead, it only offers four different degrees: BA, BS, AA, AS, all of which are degrees in "General Studies".

For example, instead of a "BA in Psychology", you would earn a "BA in General Studies (with a concentration in Psychology)". Technically, you would not be able to say you had a "Degree in Psychology" (or whatever subject you have studied). Your degree would always be a "Bachelor's Degree in General Studies" (or an Associate's degree).

This is an important distinction for many people, and could be one reason why more people don't choose COSC.

Just my thoughts,
Snazzlefrag
