John Palochko, BA, '00
Senior Programming Analyst

"Thanks COSC for the great opportunity to earn a degree. I particularly enjoyed the various ways of obtaining credit that helped keep the process interesting. I found the Individualized Studies concentration rewarding as it allowed me to take advantage of my experiences and tailor a degree accordingly. Although I am self-employed, a COSC degree gives me the added confidence to compete in the business world.

Advanced Academic Degrees
"I feel that the concerted administrative push from Charter Oak to assure I received my BA was instrumental in my acceptance into law school."
Brenda Page, BA, '05
Law Student
Green Cove Springs, FL
"As far as I was able to ascertain there was only one significant difference in the education that I received at Charter Oak from previous traditional colleges that I had attended. That difference was; if I had chosen the traditional college route I would still be dreaming about returning to school to work on a bachelor's degree instead of completing graduate school. Thank you for delivering on your promise of degrees without boundaries!"
John DeCarlo, BS, '04
