Good morning,
I couldn't be happier that I found this forum a little over a year ago. In the last year i've been able to take the 24 credits I had completed at my local community college along with almost every Sophia class they offer to complete an AAS at Pierpont C&TC and, as of this morning, I completed all coursework for a BAAS in Organizational Leadership from Texas A&M University - Commerce. I can't wait until that degree is conferred so I can put it on my resume and update my credentials at work!
It's been a lot of work, but it's achievable. I completed my final 39 credits in 3 7-week terms, all reimbursed by my employer.
Now, i'm trying to to figure out what I want to do next. I have 25 years of experience in IT and would like to move into a management role at my current employer. I'm trying to decide between an MBA in IT or a MS in IT Leadership from WGU, which I'm hoping to be able to grind at it and complete in one term. Alternatively, i'm also considering a MS in Biomedical Informatics from UT Health Houston. This would take a bit longer and wouldn't necessarily increase my management potential, but is a solid credential.
Either way, i'll be busy in June and July so i'm hoping to start the program in the fall.
