Charter Oak State College

Overview of Charter Oak State College

---

The college offers degrees to students seeking certificate programs lasting less than one year, certificates ranging to almost two years, associate degrees, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. If you have a major in mind, such as nursing, you’ll be able to take your program fully online if you choose, such as training as a nursing assistant or in criminal justice administration.

Even though every class is offered online, you still need to think of the student-to-faculty ratio. Luckily, this is 14 to 1, making it fairly easy to have virtual meetings with your professors and you can expect to get a relatively quick response if you need to email them because you are having trouble with a class.
