I promised that I would post my plan and final Eval -- 9/17 is the day that degrees show up on transcripts for September graduation -- Overall it looks like I received my undergrad business degree under $10k, which is great. Many will scoff at a degree that doesn't cost $100k, but I also know how hard I worked to get everything done, especially as a business owner and middle-aged adult. Plus I'm paying full tuition for a Master's program at a fairly prestigious school, Yeshiva Univ.
I think the only small regret I had was not taking the TESU Advanced Financial Management course instead of the Fundraising for Non-Profits. Non-Profits was a great class but going into my finance-oriented Master's in Real Estate, I could've used a little more practice with relevant topics. The danger of knocking out a degree is that some things might not stick due to lack of practice and comprehensive learning on topics. I'd say the more practice the better..especially with finance. I also had to make a choice back in April that in order to graduate in Sept, I needed to take the Non-Profit course because of its availability or I could wait for the AFM course and graduate in December. That would push my Grad school plans to Spring 2022..which was a long way off at that point.
Anyway, I hope my plan and notes help anyone on their journey. You'll see in my Eval, they kept my Criminal Investigation course at community college. That was the 1st college course I took after graduating high school in 1987.
See you in the Grad forum.
