Do you answer , "I earned it by distance learning". Or would one say, "I earned it 100% online". Last, one can say.."It was an assessment college, I transfered majority of my credits in and took cleps etc."
Also let's say an employer never heard of the big 3. Wouldn't an employer think that someone who graduated at COSC or TESC graduated at more of a traditional route because of the "state colleges" in the names?
Interviewer: "Tell me about your college." Yes, I attended Thomas Edison State College in Trenton, New Jersey where I graduated with a BS in Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. Interviewer: "I am not familiar with Thomas Edison." It is part of the state college system in New Jersey along with Rutgers.
