    Ok, which school has a better reputation? and Cheaper? Faster? Easier? or is there one with a better reputation?
    I went to Bucks County Community College for Business Administration and I have my AA. I've been working now for about 7 years and am now looking to go back to school for my BS in Accounting or Business Administration.
    Thanks

    Good Morning, My only area of knowledge is TESC. I believe that Excelsior would probably be faster with the Lawrie Miller method. If you decide to pursue TESC I would take the maximum credits allowed from a community college and take 18 FEMA to fill your elective area. This would leave around 21 credits that you probably could fill with TECEPS or other testing options. If you are still living in the Delaware Valley I would look into the CAmden County College testing options. If you can get a concrete plan I think you could complete your degree in under 6 months at TESC. If you are a confident with the tests go with the Lawrie Miller method. Have a good weekend.

    There are many...

    There are many thoughts and evaluations herein; have you used the search function to find them yet?

    Just type "Excelsior AND TESC".

    If you live in Jersey, TESC is very affordable. Otherwise, if one doesn't need the specialized degree offerings of TESC, I'd judge Excelsior as having the edge--but there are many varied opinions....

    You literally can't go wrong with either!

    My pick wouldf be

    TESC

    TESC has a better outlook on DL education, better customer service, more flexibility.

    John, your statement is not true, TESC offers a guided study program which you can earn college credit, the other does not.

    TESC is good in customer service, while the other gets low marks.

    BS Regents
    ASM/BSHS TESC:D ::D :D

    Actually I have heard more complaints about TESC than either EC or COSC.
