I am a graduate student!
#1
I am so siked about my program.

I will be doing the WCU Master of Entrepreneurship program beginning in a few weeks. Being a lifetime entrepreneurer, this program greatly excites me.

WCU launched the first ever DL purely entrepreneurship program in the country. They greatly encourage the learning method to be supported by DOING things that relate to my venture. So, there are no tests to study for or ridiculous papers to write for no reason. There will be papers but most of the program is centered around developing my next dream. The instructors encourage creativity by the cohort. They want people to think and act outside of the box. The instructors consider themselves coaches rather than taskmasters. It is proven that people learn so much more through doing rather than cramming. This might be the wrong place to discuss that topic though, lol.

Now I have to wait until 8/19 to do anything! Geez, gimme the work so I can start already!

I think most graduate programs (outside of maybe some STEM subjects) are writing intensive while not requiring many tests. Online graduate programs are even less likely to administer tests. Now, whether or not the papers you have to write are ridiculous, that depends on the school. One of my biggest pet peeves is busy work. Your entrepreneurship program reminds me of one I was looking at a couple of years ago.

The first 8 weeks looks pretty cool. I'm pumped about the prospect of doing first tasks.

I like the idea of all of these courses being project based and all relating to my venture.

No fluff and no BS.
