What exactly is a good school?

So this person could care less what their degree major is, basket weaving whatever, but it has to be a good school. lol

Well I said they are fine with liberal studies, general studies, professional studies, etc. Interdisciplinary studies if they could get it. No, they wouldn't want just anything like basket weaving. But they might have to compromise a little on major too.

You need to figure out what kind of degree you want, see what schools offer it, and if any of your current credits fit into it. The schools we talk about on here typically accept ACE credits which there are many easy ways to complete many of the LL gen ed courses through.

I didn't attend TESU but I wouldn't say it's not a good school. It's a state university. Just because someone has heard of a school doesn't mean it's a good school. I mean look at University of Phoenix. People on Mars have heard of it because they advertise like crazy. That doesn't make it a good school. It means it's marketed. Two totally different things.

Well, sure, but it seems like hardly anyone will have heard of TESU unless they attended or their friend attended. And UofP, yeah, people have heard of it but they would probably immediately think negative things.

I don't know exactly. A school where the professors regularly publish in top journals? A school with more research funding? A school that admits a lower percentage of applicants? Those kinds of things.

90 credits its gonna be a hard find. but 60 credits, there's MANY good schools that would take your friend. some examples below

Thanks, that is good to know about 60 credits.

Ok, so ASU may be one of their only options. I'm not sure ASU has a more general degree that 90 of their credits could fit into, but they could find out. They have so many degrees!

I think CUNY might be another option, and they have Liberal Studies.
