Graduate School Anyone? - ShotoJuku - 09-29-2006

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Many, if not most of the IC members are currently working on, nearing completion or have recently completed their Bachelors Degree using the dynamic resources of InstantCert but just how many plan on or actually are going on to graduate level school?

I'll be 47 next month and just completed my Bachelors degree last month yet I feel strangely compelled to continue onward to the next level. At first I planned on sitting back, celebrating my accomplishment and "thinking" about pursuing a Masters degree in "several months." Since that time, just a few weeks ago, my perspective has changed significantly as I have boldly (perhaps foolishly) decided to enroll at California Coast University to tackle the Master of Science - Psychology degree.

Am I a glutton for punishment or what?

So I ask - just how many are planning on and willing to jump in the deep end too? I'll be the one madly treading water - Big Grin [/COLOR][/SIZE]

Brian,

I too will be enrolling in a Master's program as soon as I finish. It will probably be the MBA in Forensic Accounting at Florida Atlantic University. It too can be done online. I had even thought about attending UF or FSU for the Doctorate in Accounting. But, then I found out that they only accept THREE students a YEAR into the Doctorate program and it's FIVE years long. So, that thought didn't last long. Big Grin At 41, I'm a little old to start a five year program of full-time school.

I am already in the process of enrolling for a Masters Degree in Military History from Norwich University. It is expensive but my GI Bill and Tuition Assistance will cover the cost. My GPA (3.66) is high enough that I don't need to take the GRE there. Also, the courses are completely online and the tuition includes books and materials. I shouldn't pay a dime out of pocket. Going forward with my education can only help my personal and professional life. I am excited.

We seem to be predominantly in our mid-forties here - at least those of us willing to admit to our age Wink . I will be enrolling in a masters in social work as soon as I can, though that's one area that you have to study in a b&m school - probably OSU (go Bucks!) No one knows of a legitimate online social work masters program per chance?
