Is it possible to 'hide' a degree?

I think if they need to keep their accreditation, as well as get new accreditation (they just got ACBSP), they have to stay current with what's going on with other schools. And other schools all over the country are requiring capstones. It's just the way it is. They are not purposely trying to go out and NOT be progressive, but they also have other goals.

One of their goals is helping people get degrees than can lead to employment. Considering that New Jersey gives preferential treatment to AACSB and ACBSP accreditation when it comes to sitting for the CPA exam, then it only makes sense that TESU try to obtain one of those accreditations in order to help their students. It's the same reason why TESU and Excelsior have earned ABET and nursing accreditations. Excelsior has been making it more and more difficult to get into its nursing program because they have to if they want their program to continue to qualify for licensure. Many states are already on the fence and several have made additional requirements for Excelsior graduates.
