Grad School Feedback
#1
I wanted a second opinion of the two programs I have narrowed down for grad school.  


Plan A

MS in Human Environmental Sciences at The University of Alabama.  

http://bamabydistance.ua.edu/degrees/ms-...iculum.php


Pros:

$394 a credit and only ten courses needed to graduate
You create your own curriculum with the help of an advisor which gives it flexibility  
Possibly no research methods or capstone course
Can transfer in six credits
Financial planning courses

Cons:

Not sure if it is testing intensive or requires mainly written papers (I prefer papers)
Not sure what the degree can be used for

I am not sure if there is any utility in this degree if I choose to pursue a W2 career in the future, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Or

Plan B

Liberty University MA in Interdisciplinary Studies

https://www.liberty.edu/online/arts-and-...y-studies/

Pros

31 credits with 15 transferrable  
No capstone
Flexibility in two areas; I would choose Economics and Government
UCCS courses are transferable at $420 a course
Option to see course syllabus before choosing (testing/writing)

Cons

5 courses at about $1500 a course
A research methods course
Much harder to get an A (94%)


Thanks for your help with this matter,

Chris
