Thank you all for making this an incredibly special experience. I didn't think I would have classmates by going through the credit-by-exam process, but I really do. With many thanks to all of you, I have earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Liberal Arts with an Area of Focus in Biological/Life Science at Excelsior College!!! I am looking forward to going to the graduation ceremony in Albany in July.
My ultimate goal for college is to continue on to a Master's program in Biostatistics, which Texas A&M offers, that is entirely online. I would like to be involved in clinical research for chronic illnesses. Before I can apply to graduate school, I need to take the General GRE. I'll be sure to update with feedback for that exam.
I don't think I'll have time to participate on this forum anymore. It's hard to say good-bye, since I know I am going to miss you. I'm glad to see you have a really great group of veterans and newer enthusiastic members who are helpful in taking good care of the newbies.
Thank you for all of your support!!!

Just out of curiosity... I know A&M offer this MS Statistics, which is reputed to be an excellent programme. I considered taking it but the MAS at Penn State fit the bill better for me... and I dropped out of that because my MBA is more important. Do A&M have another distance stats degree that I'm not aware of?

Funny! You have made going to graduate school look a lot easier than I expect it to be for me.
