Doesn't it feel awesome to be finished?
It does.....but now all I can think about is that I need to make a decision on my Masters. I've changed my mind about which program at least a dozen times. It's a good problem to have though.

You don't have to decide anything right away. Just give yourself a few days/weeks to bask in the glow of being a graduate. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Sorry to bump such an old thread but I wanted to share that I finished my Masters back in September. It is an M.S. Emergency and Disaster Management from TUI University. It was an accelerated program that I finished in 15 months. I actually started it a few weeks before I officially graduated from Excelsior. I had finished all the requirements at Excelsior but had to wait for the next graduation date, so TUI let me start my Masters early with a letter from Excelsior saying I had met all the requirements for my B.S.
For those of you still working hard keep it up! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am currently taking a much needed break from school but am considering a second Masters. I haven't told my wife this yet, she is enjoying having her husband around.

Wow, you are already done your Masters? What an amazing story. Once that BA is done the sky is the limit. So tell us what will your next Masters be in?

Western New Mexico University as a MA in Interdisciplinary Studies where you can choose two topics to get 18 grad credits in each. I'm looking at doing Criminal Justice and Psychology. It is super cheap, you can do the whole thing for less than 6K.

Good luck at WNMU. Love the price! Now do you have to do final papers in both subject matters to graduate?

Congrats! You see, all that hard work paid off. Did it seem like it was taking forever? Now on to bigger and better things.
If possible would you be able to share your degree plan, how long it took you up until this point. Do you have any advise on what test can be taken together. I'm presently studying for the basic core exams.

There have been a couple of threads in the past on this. It depends on what type of test you want to take and the degree you are going for, e.g. Psychology, business, history.
