Business degree from Regents,TESC and Charter Oak degrees

Can people with business degrees from Regents,TESC or Charter Oak degrees get into good graduate schools? Did someone enter MIT, Stanford or Harvard with such degrees? PhD also ok? Please share your experience.

Thanks!

 

Your degree from these schools will meet the requirement to apply and you will still need to meet the rest of their admission requirements. I do not have a complete listing but I know of Excelsior grads who have gone on to Harvard.

Every Ivy League graduate school I've looked into required, as a minimum, a regionally accredited Bachelor's degree (or its foreign equivalent). Regents, TESC, and COSC would all satisfy that requirement, but there are also other very stringent requirements such as GPA, GRE/GMAT scores, etc.

I think a fair statement would be that a degree from these schools wouldn't lock the door to an Ivy, but it wouldn't open it either.

Somebody know what GPA do Ivy League schools usually require?

Certainly people can get into "good" graduate schools. It is not necessary to attend a "top-tier" program in order to attend a good one. But let's assume that you are talking about the prestige schools.

As has been said, Regents, TESC and Charter Oak certainly meet the formal requirements. But since the prestige programs get far more applicants than they have openings for, and since everyone applying meets the formal requirements, you will need a tie-breaker.

If your only selling point is your undergraduate degree, it probably should be the most impressive degree possible. A DL degree might not cut it.

But if you come with a mix of a DL degree *and* some relevant and responsible experience, then you might actually have an edge over a 21 year old right out of college whose only experience was a summer job.

I guess the bottom line is that you apply as a whole package. Your bachelors degree is only part of it. They will also be looking at how you have been spending your time. A distance degree actually gives you additional opportunities in that regard, if you can find something valuable and significant to do in your field while you are earning the degree.

 

Hello, Bill!

I would like to ask you this question. What do you think would be the reaction of a graduate school commitee (sp?) to someone who is applying for a master's with 3 bachelor's degrees? I know a person who is finishing her third bachelor's, and she is considering applying for graduate school here in South Florida.

All the very best,

Appropriate sentence should read:

"...this question: what do you think...".
