Testimonial: Charter Oak gave me the flexibility in time and course deliverability to pursue my educational goals, while still fulfilling my family and career responsibilities. I was able to achieve 33 college credits in one year, maintain a 3.9 GPA in that year, and work my full time position as a financial analyst, and as a single father, put my daughter through her first year of college. It allowed me to show my daughter and her cousins that I could walk-the-walk as well as talk-the-talk.
