Good Tuesday from Oklahoma all those with degrees from CSU.
I recently found as a CSU former AA degree graduate that one is not consider an Alumni at either Waldorf university or CSU regarding the 10% learning partner discount even if a person belongs to the Alumni association to say the least this Marine was disappointed but is moving on.
When I applied at Waldorf recently I found the partnership page listed CSU Alumni however like CSU this only counts if you received a bachelor degree from either for profit school this should be noted up front. I finally found an regionally accredited University that accepted my CSU credits earning a bachelors degree and am grateful, yet these universities are rare.
Be very wary when you choose or recommend CSU and ensure you will benefit from the courses via future job or personal growth. I experienced recently (DAV job fair in March) that some employers do ask about regionally accredited credentials.
The staff at both schools are always friendly and helpful which is why I inquired about a Masters at both schools and certificate programs. I was not able to use my GI Bill on master certificates at CSU which apparently are not recognized by the VA. I am however able to use the GI Bill for certificate programs at regionally accredited universities. Once more choose your university wisely and check out G.I. jobs Military friendly Schools list which may help, spending more on a school with a good reputation helps..
May all of you succeed and enjoy being part of the Blue Knights “Semper Fidelis”
