Graduate Level Course Work Senior Year

Depends..... how easy is MLA/Chicago/APA writing for you? Grad school is all writing.
I took 2 classes at a time but don't have to report to work outside the home, so I'm totally in control of my schedule. My hubby's MBA has been easy for him. He works full time and has taken just one class at a time- now he's doing the because his employer pays 75% and we are cash-flowing the 25%, so 1 at a time is the most affordable option for us. But, he's getting burnt out at the pace and wanted to double up next term. Well, no sooner did he say that then this current class is from h*ll and is taking an unimaginable amount of time. Seriously- it's crazy. If he had 2 like this, his grades would suffer at a minimum. I think it's ambitious to do 2 grad school classes and 1 undergrad when you're entering new territory- if you had a good feel for the program it might be an easier decision to make.

thanks for the feedback I've done lots of writing intensive courses over the last year. I guess I'll take one in the summer to get a feel for it and try the 2/1 schedule over the fall.

Marshall has a 30 credit MA in Leadership Studies (yawn) which is an online degree. So if I can knock out 12 of the 30 credits with my undergrad degree then 6 more courses would give me an MA. I think this sounds like a great deal.
