We’ll have a kindergartener in two years and I know once she starts school full time it will be a lot harder for me to prioritize time to study and finish my degree.
I think what felt most disappointing about my initial college experience was the lack of being able to do things at your own pace and a lot of it was stuff I had done in high school. IIRC MSU didn’t consider a passing AP test for credit and instead treated it like you tested out of the class. I wrote it all off because it seemed like such a waste of time and money and energy.
Your daughter will see you start and, if it's UMPI, have graduated or be close to graduating with your bachelor's before she starts kindergarten. She'll be excited to become a student like her mom!
And you were a strong student. Your first college wasn't the right fit for your strengths. Now you're going to work with better fits.
This really means a lot, I'm so glad I found this forum. Pursuing this feels so much more manageable and I feel a lot more excited instead of overwhelmed. Ahh thank you!!

Seems like a good program, interesting indeed... I like the option for individuals who don't already have a BSW take the MasterTrack Cert and then ladder to the MSW.

The MasterTrack seems like an amazing opportunity!
MDHHS just gave a ton of money to schools for BSWs going to MSW. I emailed the program director asking if they might expand it to BA psych students in the future.
