Thomas edison state college Reviews

I graduated with my BA from TESU in 2020. I had a great experience with this institution and would recconend it for any non-traditional student who is comfortable with online classes. I fit in relatively well as someone who had many varied credits from stints in college here and there but in a year I was able to piece all of the credits together and finally finish my undergraduate work. However, this school is for self starters. If you are someone who requires a lot of 1 on 1 attention with an educator this is not the best option for you. I have taken online courses at more traditional universities and actually found TESU to be more rigorous. (My theory is that since it's an online only school they put more into the online curriculum then a brick and morter school with online options) Bottom line: if you are motivated this is an affordable and great option to put a degree to your name.

Great staff members that always make me laugh. The college is also well organized and very helpful to military students. Iv'e jumped around to different colleges my entire military career and this hands down is the best experience Iv'e had. I applied for fasfa once my tuition assistance ran out and this was the only college that worked with me. The other colleges never answered my phone calls/kept saying I never applied for fasfa. Liars... If you want a college that actually gives you fasfa while your in the military then chose this college.

This is my second semester and so far I have had very good experiences. I m working on my BA degree and I like the flexibility or finishing faster compare to other universities. My professors have been very professional and very accesible which is always a plus.

I attended this college for a music degree. All of my professors were adjuncts from John J. Cali school of music at Montclair State University. I had the pleasure of working with Ting Ho, Ruth Rendleman, and several other fine professors. I knew someone that went to Seton Hall, paid Seton Hall prices, and ended up with the same professors I paid Thomas Edison for. I can only say that you have to be willing to do a lot of writing. My writing skills went through the roof because of Thomas Edison State College. The prior learning assessments were also a huge help to me. Because of them, in my last year, I was able to attain 56 credits while working full time. They are not easy, however. If you are an independent thinker, worker, and are good at keeping your goals in mind, And Are not really concerned about the social life of college, Thomas Edison maybe your best choice.. And, I did get my music degree. I am very happy to say I graduated with honors.

I will begin by saying your experience with this university directly reflects your participation. Let's start with the admission process; it was easy, and your ability to do everything online. Next, let's talk about financial aid; I didn't use it since I paid (an excellent value) as I went along. Moving along, we have the advisors. The advisor, Amy, gave me great advice and showed me how to get my degree quickly while learning so many new ideas. She pushed me outside my comfort zone and made this experience truly enriching. I started with 68 credits, and 11 months later, I had 125 credits and a bachelor's degree.
To do this, I had to use TECEPT's, testing out of classes. I came to the school with a great deal of knowledge I gained from life experiences. TESU was able to show me how to prove that knowledge was worth college credits. Was this easy? No, it was tough, but it was cost-effective and much faster than classes. I took several courses and had tons of homework and tests. I just kept up with the work. My professors were great. They all did most of the communication with emails, and that was wonderful for me. Once I completed my studies, I applied for a new position only available to someone with a college degree and got it. My life has changed 360 degrees, and it would not have been possible if not for Thomas Edison University.
I will say one last thing. You have to be focused and self-motivated to become a graduate. There is no free ride or a fake degree; you must complete the work and do it mostly on your own. If you want this, you will be successful.

I graduated from Thomas Edison State college before it was a University. Back then there were talks of combining with other universities like Rutgers or TCNJ.

My learning opportunities at Thomas Edison were in my own hands much of the time just like in a work situation where your company depends on you to get the job done. Higher education for adults with higher expectations is a perfect slogan for the school.

Since graduating from Thomas Edison State college I have gone on to study at Harvard, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University and more. I obtained an MBA in finance and many postgraduate certificates which have been helpful in owning and running multiple businesses.

Thomas Edison State college beautifully allowed me to accomplish my goals and did everything I expected of them as a learning institution.

After reading many goofy reviews below it surely seems the low ratings are from people who expected an easy ride such as University of Phoenix but I hate to tell you Thomas Edison State University is a challenging institution and it's not the path to an easy diploma. If you can't read or don't understand the terms of condition when you sign up to go to school and then cancel halfway through the semester hoping to get all your money back there's not much anyone can do for you. Luckily you are giving us your side of the story which is easy to see that you completely screwed up. Back when I went to school here I worked on campus for all of my exams and also with study groups in Trenton and Princeton New Jersey and always felt the personal interactions with the staff was A+.

Having since attended and excelled at many of the top schools in the country in comparing them to Thomas Edison State University I can honestly say TESU is right in line with many of them when it comes to excellence in education. Again, if you are thinking this is going to be a quick turnaround to a degree without putting in extreme amounts of hard work I can tell you you are barking up the wrong tree. This is not a place for you if you're looking for the easy road. Put in the hard work and you will be happy you did.

Huge waste of money. School's policy for reimbursement if a course is no longer needed is a joke. Appeal was denied as well, though my circumstances for dropping the course (mother's failing health) were valid and I provided documentation. Additionally, if you choose the path of least resistance in school, people reading your resume later in life will know you cut corners. Don't invest your finances or time here.
