N.J. Governor Wants to Merge Thomas Edison Into Rutgers

[cookderosa]

Anyone know what the status is on this ?

I'm planning on getting my BA from TESC within the next year, but it would be nice to just say "Rutgers" when people ask where it's from.

You realize that if the merger happens, you may not have a degree? It's entirely possible that the merger could result in the closing of TESC.

Also, (and my apologies to margotsara this is a general comment- not directed to him/her) but I'm sick of everyone complaining about TESC's lack of prestige. It is what it is. Do your homework and know what you are buying. If you want a Rutger's degree, then you need to go about the business of getting it- not by some back door deception as the fall out of a merger.
No one is attending TESC for the "prestige" of it! They are attending for the test-out policy, lack of residency, cost, and or transfer policy- and in those categories, TESC IS SUPERIOR to other state colleges.

Lastly, if you are ashamed of where you are going to school, that's a personal problem- not a defect in the TESC educational model.
