Thomas Edison State and top tier Master programs...

[jjnelle]

Hi everyone,

I spoke with an admission counselor at TESC and was told that since I have 122 credits I should be able to just pay for enrollment and commencement to obtain my degree, if everything goes well with evaluations and transferring everything into a major. :hurray:

I haven't started that process yet because my past B&M is holding my official transcript hostage till I pay off a debt. :toetap:

My question to you all is...since I know I want to get my Masters at a top tier or at least have the option because I do plan to pursue a STEM degree. Basically get my Masters in a IT field like Computer Science or Human Computer Interaction Design.

Will me getting my Bachelors from TESC ruin my chances at being accepted into top tier Masters programs? I've been researching on LinkedIn what college programs and careers people go into after TESC. Plus I've read almost all of the Alumni stories they post in their magazines online.

I felt a bit confident about the transfer after reading about Alums but then I read this forum:
Online college (TESC) to top tier grad school? - College Confidential

and now I'm not sure what to think.:confused:

I figured it would be best to speak with you all. Since most of you are Alums and have pursued Masters. I would love to know if any of The Big 3 degrees have caused you to not get accepted at great well known Masters Programs.

(The reason I'm so concerned and worried is because I've been hitting so many walls when it comes to finishing my degree throughout my life and I wish to not hit anymore)banghead
