Because I work for a government agency I can qualify for their reduced tuition of $250 per credit hour making this an attractive option for their BSCS degree. Thoughts on this school?
Stay away - they are having some significant issues with their accreditation right now. Until these issues are resolved, you would be taking a risk that you do not need to take. Given the number of good state schools out there with online programs for the same price or cheaper, you have much better options.
I agree with Truckie270 110%, I would stay away from this university like the plague, that is until all of their issues are resolved. For what is worth, this past Friday I was in the education office figuring out my Post-911 GI bill, and I heard one of the enrollment counselors there telling students to stay away from Trident/TUI, again until all of their issues are taken care of.
Agree with what has been said so far. What a mess was made out of the original Touro College/TUI. If I were a student or alumnus that got in when it was connected to Touro College I would have been ticked. Talk about being thrown under the bus. I suspect many initially became involved because of the connection to the respected Touro College (as I recall they even had a med school). Many other more secure options. PS Did Trident not offer business and education degrees. Considering the accreditation issues and whatever else happened that is a really interesting situation (physician heal thyself). Bad sign when they want to name the school after a pack of gum (kidding I am sure there was a connection to mythology.....but wait considering what is going on that is not to good either). I seriously hope for their students that they can pull themselves out of the spiral.
As well as a law school. I finished my MS from TOURO (the non-profit/ private school I enrolled in) in 2003. I am less then pleased right now.
