In terms of name, I would say that Charter Oak State College is preferable to Excelsior College. As far as degrees go, a B.S. in Criminal Justice appears better than a B.S. in General Education with a concentration in Criminal Justice.
But this is just speaking of nomenculture. Its not anything I wouldn't think you could easily work around at any interview. In your resume I assume you'd mention the concentration in Criminal Justice.
Another thing to consider, do you plan on getting a Master's degree in Criminal Justice? If so then it probably doesn't matter which one you have. Both will get you into a graduate school for Criminal Justice. In that case, a Master will override whatever kind of B.S. you have.
I've researched a little into Excelsior and Charter Oak, but I go to neither. I'm attending Saint Leo University and was just curious about the "Big 3." I'm sure others on the forum can more adequetely answer any questions you may have between the two, but hopefully this helped some.
