Bad news for my TESC degree

[EI2HCB]

I just got off the phone with the nursing program that I'm applying to. They had "a lot of questions" about my degree from TESC. Apparently the main issue was that I've never taken any classes from TESC--all my credit was transferred in. The commitee was like, "How is that possible?" They found it really suspect, and even my age became an issue. In the words of the program director, "We're wondering how at your age did you complete a four year degree. Wasn't there a residency requirement; how come you never took any classes there...." FTR I am younger than the norm. I did point out to them that TESC is regionally accredited. But that didn't matter; it was how I completed my degree through transfer credit and credit by exam. The university chose not to recognize my degree. At all. Period. They're treating this like some fishy business as if I somehow paid for my degree (as a matter of fact, I certainly did ) and that was it.

I don't know what to think. In the short run, I'm not qualified to enter the 2nd degree BSN accelerated track program. That's not the end of the world to me, but I'm feeling seriously discouraged about the worth of my unconventional degree(s). Am I going to encounter this problem over and over?

So Sorry to hear that, I guess they didn't read the article in the New York Times about TESC and Excelsior, What about the nursing program over at Excelsior is that something that would be of use, It's well known as a nursing school.
