MA degree question - ffdpsoldier - 08-24-2011
I just got told that after I graduate in april I still have to take another semmester of ROTC in the fall so I'm going to go for my masters during that time. How hard are the classes compared to normal undergrad, I know its more in depth but are they going to require some insane amount of work.. and no one had to take harder gen ed classes did they. By my understanding its just 30 credits of your major and that's all. Also ho long did it take for you to get your masters.

There's no gen ed, but it's not unheard of to take a cross-listed course.
Difficulty can vary by the individual program, but in general, at the graduate level students do a lot more reading and writing than at the undergrad levels. It's a big step up. I'd suggest discussing this with an academic advisor or professor who knows you a bit.

Ditto.
At NCU, in the MBA program, it is a lot of reading, researching and writing, but there are no classes to go to and no tests to take. Well one course has some online tests but the majority of classes consist of writing assignments.
Check out Northcentral University | Online Degree Programs | Online Learning. 10 classes, 30 credits, $14k for an MBA and there are 13 specializations.

A full-time grad load is usually 9 semester credit hours, BTW. I would not advise taking that many grad courses if you have to drill.

rotc is 3 credits and it requires 1 pt credit, but after that i was wanting to take grad classes just enough to where it counts as a full time student so i can get my bah from the gi bill.
