I suppose I should have spent some time introducing myself, since I am clearly new to the forum. I'm interested in getting another Master's degree, but it's just for personal growth. I love to learn. I feel stagnant when I am not working toward some kind of educational or professional goal. My family thinks I'm crazy.
However, I've spent my fair share on education, despite getting some financial help along the way, and I would like to see how far I can get with a DIY degree. I'm interested in getting a Master's in Emergency Management or an MPA. These do not seem to be as easy to DIY as business, computer science, etc.
Currently, I hold the following degrees:
M.Ed. Instructional Design & Technology, American College of Education
Graduate Certificate: English, American College of Education
B.S. Public Administration, Northern Arizona University
A.A.S. Emergency Response and Operations
You generally can't DIY a master's degree. We do Associate and Bachelor's degrees here. We discuss different options for Master's degrees, but most schools don't allow you to bring credits (or not many) into a MA.
I wouldn't mind going for another Bachelor's degree. I'll check out my options with The Big 3. Thank you!
