Thomas Edison State College was one of the first state college systems in the USA -- founded in the 1970s -- to specialize in adult learners. They specialize in helping military and older adult students document career certificates and older college and military service credits toward a degree. On the downside, they are known to be "slow" and not very "customer oriented." They are, after all, a state-funded entity, but they have a very solid rep with employers and are a great choice if you have old college credits, credits from a lot of different colleges that you'd like to consolidate or a lot of experience or professional licenses to document for college credit. I do recommend them for the older more experienced learners which is their specialty area. Younger learners may want a more traditional "teaching" college.

TESC's undergraduate program was more rigorous than traditional colleges and universities. The examinations were challenging; having done well on them has given me a strong sense of achievement As well, the coursework was equally challenging. Those who do well at TESC can be justly proud of their accomplishments.

TESC was an amazing school for my undergraduate work in psychology. I found it to be more rigorous and scholarly than other brick and mortar institutions I had attended. I have since achieved my MS in Psych. and now I'm in my Clinical PhD program and I'm grateful for the foundational studies that were provided to me at TESC. I'm proud of my work there!
