Penn state online...

[cookderosa]

Wanted to get some opinions. The field that I'm going into requires a masters degree and is pretty competitive.

Everyone that I've talked to at the places I want to work, have not only highly ranked masters for our field, but also their bachelors degrees are from at least top 50 schools.

The Penn State degree, you get the same degree as those who are on campus.

It would add another 2 years to my undergrad and then 2 years for my masters. I just turned 39. Do you think its worth it to get a degree from Penn State or should I just continue with my original plan and complete my masters in 2 years and just do a lot of internships?

Thanks for any opinions/advice in advance.

I agree with Ryoder. Finish your undergrad as cheaply as possible and use that money on a grad degree. Besides if you are just entering the field, even with a PSU degree you might have to do a few internships.
