As of May 31, 2018, you're looking at the proud owner of a Bachelor of Arts degree from Charter Oak State College. 
The Capstone project that I was soooooooo worried about, sleepless nights, tummy aches, etc.......turned out to be........NO BIG DEAL. I went with a PowerPoint presentation rather than a traditional paper, and it was really not even a hiccup.
I'm so incredibly thankful I stumbled across this website and, in the process, had my world opened up to the (work smarter, not harder) DSST/UExcel programs - without which I would have possibly never been able to finish.
Thanks to all who encouraged me, supported me, answered questions, kept me grounded, let me know when I was wrong or off base, or helped in other ways.
With the help of this freshly minted BA, I started a new job last week which nearly doubled my salary, and kept me in the same retirement system. What a blessing!
So now, with a Bachelor's, 2 Associate's and a new job to learn, I'm going to take a break from school for a while. Is there a Master's in my future? Stay tuned........

Congratulations! I am curious and were unaware of the Powerpoint option as the Capstone project at COSC, but do not want to highjack this thread. Good luck with the new job!
