Hi all!
I am so glad that I somehow found this forum. You are my people/kin/spirit animals. My family thinks I am nutty for how badly I want to continuously pursue higher education. I have been reading through the posts and kind of getting my bearings. I guess I'll give a little about me.
BA in Anthropology, 2013 (FAU) with lots of other credits outside of the degree
M.Ed in Bilingual Education, 2016 (ACE) with several credits outside of the degree
M.Ed in Teaching English Learners, 2020 (ACE)
M.Ed in Advanced Teaching, 2021 exp. (UofP; its an interesting experiment)
I recently discovered Sophia (as in yesterday) and have done a few classes there. I enrolled in Purdue University Global, Bachelors of Professional Studies (not sure what that's all about but we shall see). I have some Coursera classes that I have taken, some graduate history credits. I also clicked through Saylor.org and will be doing what I can on there.
Future goals: Turn the random credits into something. I am thinking that the TESU program would be a good fit, I think. More importantly would be an Ed.D; for that, I was looking at American College of Ed or Univ. of the Cumberlands. And do it while getting the best degrees possible for the least amount of out-of-pocket. And then I came across the Master of Arts in Economics and Entrepreneurship for Educators (MAEEE) from the University of Delaware and the Global Field Program from Miami University..... so adding those to the list
Maybe at some point, look into business programs. Again, I am doing this for personal fulfillment; I like to stay busy and this is far preferable to something like knitting or something.
