Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education

Take advantage of our convenience and flexibility.

With our online degree programs, there is no need to travel to a campus after work or on the weekends. We're accessible to you wherever, whenever. Plus, earn credit through alternate sources such as testing and exams, military training, lifelong learning through our portfolio program, credit evaluated by ACE or PONSI, and by transferring credit earned from other regionally accredited colleges and universities.

Saving money.

It's important to you and to us. As a result, our students find the cost per credit of our online courses one of the lowest around. Plus, we accept most credits for transfer, and award credit for your work and life experience through testing and portfolio assessment. Great value and low cost. Isn't that what you've been searching for? Learn about our tuition and fees.

We take our accreditation seriously.

And so should you. Charter Oak is regionally accredited by NEASC, the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Plus, we are a Connecticut state public college governed by the Connecticut Board of Regents. Founded in 1973, we have been awarding degrees for over 35 years!

Our counselors enjoy working with adult learners like you.

From admissions to advising, they understand you are juggling work life and home life in addition to pursuing your degree. At Charter Oak you have our support from "Hello" to "Congratulations, Graduate!"
