    Hello Everyone,

    I'm new to the forums and I was happy to find you because I almost got suckered into Kennedy -Western. Luckily, I found this forum before they got my money.

    I would like your opinion as to which college would be the best fit for somebody like me. A little background info. I’m 47 years old and have been working professionally for about 27 years. I don't have a lot of college credits, probably 25 or 30. Sixteen of those credits were recently earned at a community college where I received a CIS Certificate. The rest of the credits were earned 27 years ago and I can’t even remember what classes I took.

    I recently got outsourced after 20 years and my goal is to get a degree as quickly as possible. Of course I need to get a job sooner then the degree but I would like to get started. I have a lot of experience but no sheepskin and in today’s job market I feel inadequate without that degree.

    I would like to get my BA/BS degree in either business with an IT minor or just a straight BA degree. After reading through this forum, I like Charter Oak State College because of its portfolio assessment program (and low math requirement) but I am also intrigued by Western Governors University. Tuition is also a concern and is Matriculation necessary?

    I know that you get a lot of these questions from newbies and I value your patience. All opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
