I earned my bachelors in business from Thomas Edison Stat University in the 90's! Great school with an impeccable accreditation! Cost me an arm and a leg at the time. Wish I had lived in Mountain View then!

Who does this? Who is Study.com? Shouldn't Google be doing this since they basically took over the Bay Area? Confused..but impressed.

What does that mean?

Because Google is a successful company, they should automatically do EVERYTHING? They have been doing alot. More than most successful companies...start Googling that and sing a different tune.

I am a student enrolled in the Study.com working scholars program. I'm really excited to be back on track to getting a degree! It's truly amazing to have the opportunity to be able to finally have the chance to get a degree from an accredited school(Thomas Edison University) all while still being able to work full time.
