Trinity Southern University is a non-traditional college, however, it is acceptible for most individuals seeking employment in the private sector. Q. How does this process work? A. Students fill out an assessment that list their prior work and education experience. The more information provided, the easier it is to grant a degree. We also encourage students to fax resumes, transcripts and other certificates to 208-474-1477. To determine acceptance we use a complex mathematical algorithm to award a numerical score to each application, with this score the registrars then manually review the information and evaluate it qualitatively. Essentially this process is used to help us determine if a student has the same functional knowledge in their field as someone with a college degree. Q. Will this degree be accepted by everyone? A. A Trinity Southern University degree works for 99% of its graduates, however, it is not appropriate for people in the public education field or those who wish to use the degree to attend a traditional graduate program. We do not recommend this degree for individuals either employed or seeking employment as a state employee in Oregon and New Jersey. Q. Can I get a degree in Law, Medicine, or Nursing? A. No. we do not issue degrees in these fields. Q. If I have a TSU degree how can I later obtain a Master's or PhD degree? A. Many of our students return to TSU to obtain an advanced degree after gaining additional experience and/or training in their field(s). http://www.trinitysouthernuniversity.org/faqs.html (1 of 2)10/8/2004 9:53:36 AM
