Has anyone attended or has any info on this college? Im trying to go back to school and a friend told me about them, but im not sure yet i guess its a SUNY accredited school but you can take all your courses online. I want to know if this is worth it or would i be better off just going to E.C.C. to get reacclimated. I saw that they even offer master degrees but like i said i dont wanna just waste my time if it ends up being another one of those scam online/mail order degrees that arent really worth the paper ther are printed on. ---

Do more research it is a fucking SUNY school obv it is not some type of scam. I have a degree from there and it is not easy. I am going to be more then happy to go to regular classes at UB starting in January. That being said go there if you have to like if you work 40+ hours a week and or have to travel a bunch for your job. Also we have a few threads on the school already. ---

thanks ive been doing some research and figured id get some personal imput from people. I have heard its more difficult then ECC which i like, and being able to take classes online caught my attention i wasnt 100% on if it was a SUNY school and if credits would be fully transferable. ---

Yeah UB already confirmed that I will be able to transitions to an MBA program there next year. I went to in class school for two years then finished with Empire. I learned more doing online schooling to be honest due to the amount you had to be in the books to grasp the concepts. However when i was in reg school I was much less disciplined so who knows. I did enjoy Empires flexibility due to the fact I both travel for my job and work 50+hrs a week. ---

I mean with a book you have the info in the book to get you through the class but i just feel like if i had questions about something and i was online id find myself on google looking for more information, where if i was in a class id forget or be to lazy to look further into it later. ---

Well that is up to you. Maybe sign up take a few classes and see what you think. I am going back to regular school for a few reasons but when you start taking hard classes it gets really annoying trying to work through it all via e-mail and such. So for easier/undergrad classes I think it is great. But I want the resources that a larger in class school can offer me for the rest of my education. ---

I would say goto ECC to get back into things, but that’s just me
