I need some advise about enrolling in Grantham College of engineering

Hello everyone,

I need some advise about enrolling in Grantham College of engineering and starting BS in Information systems. I am an immigrant and I do not have a college degree; however, I do have 5 yrs of experience in Network Infrastructure support. Grantham transferred my life\ work experience, certifications and training courses I took in the past into 25 credit hours.

I am in dilemma and I need your help on deciding which route should I take to pursue a college degree. Grantham is NA. Should I, enroll in Grantham and start my BS based on my 25 credit hours or enroll in RA College and start from the very beginning.

Thank you for your help.

The exact answer is: It depends.

A Grantham degree is accredited, but not regionally accredited, which may hold you back at some point.

So the real question is: What do you want to do with your degree and does your current employer accept a nationally accredited degree?

Respond to those questions and alot of people can give you some advice.

Thank you for your reply

I would like to pursue master degree in Telecommunications from RA College after I get my Bachelor from Grantham.
The question I have in mind is, are there any RA colleges will accept credits from Grantham ?

Keep up the good research and keep asking questions. If you are intent on pursuing graduate studies, then contact the perspective grad school admissions and ask them directly if they will accept GC degree.
If not, then shop carefully.
