I did my BS in liberal studies and I was very impressed with the LA dept. The advisor I had was great. I have recently heard that EC has opened a "sales" office in GA and it seems the information coming from that dept is full of errors. I have a friend that is very upset with them right now and I'm trying to get things corrected. I would advise that you verify anything you are told with an actual academic advisor, not enrollment advisor! You probably won't get access to an academic advisor until you register, but after you do, contact them and get everything in writing. Good luck!

EC RULES. Good choice. It offered me the most flexibility in terms of pacing and payment. Make sure you take advantage of the partner program. Even if you don't use it the way it is designed, it still allows you to pay at a slower pace. Good luck and have fun!

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.
