    Actually I agree with Manic. I don't think anyone is going to really care, all they really care about is that you got a degree the only way I think it would matter is if it was Harvard or something similar. You also have the other side of the coin where someone might see that you went to 3 different schools before settling and look at that like you have commitment issues and indecisiveness which an employer would frown upon. I'm not saying an employer would think this but anything is possible!

    I would list your degree granting institution only! Good luck to you!

    I list the schools where I studied abroad on my resume, but only because it demonstrates that I have some international experience. If it was a case of transferring from school to school working on the same degree I would only list the one that awarded me the diploma. I'd list them all out on a formal application though.

    No one would care.

    "Wow! He got accepted to LIU!"

    or

    "Wow! He washed out of LIU!"
     
  4. I agree, and that also can imply lack of maturity. Think about it from an employer's standpoint...

    Also, not to put C.W. Post down, but it's a Tier 4 school. John Jay is known for its criminal justice program (and its doctoral CJ program is very highly ranked) but the program in US News is ranked #121 for Regional Universities (North).

    My advice - if ESC can get it done quickest, great, get your degree under your belt. Once you have it, it's something that won't go away. If it's not from the "best" school imaginable, think of augmenting it with some masters-level work from a name school.
