Thanks.
In looking over his info it appears Valdosta is not totally asynchronous (multiple mandatory online timed and proctored exams). 
That would likely be a hard exclusion for me given my rotating schedule at work.

I can schedule a weeklong residency or two, but not necessarily multiple proctored and timed exams.

I haven't read that thread, but students can typically schedule their proctored exams for any time of day. Just so you know for the future, if you ask a school if their program is 100% asynchronous, they're going to tell you yes, even if they require proctored exams. Asynchronous just means that you don't have to attend class at a specific time.

That thread is 13 years old. Valdosta should be contacted for current information.

Information is not up to date, I would highly recommend following up with the institutions you're interested in, especially since that dozen or so years since the thread was opened, there would most likely be 'changes and updates' made to the program and requirements. Info is just that, for you to do your initial research, it's up to you to make sure everything falls in place properly and to review/seek out the most updated details or requirements.
