First off, while I'm mostly a lurker, I wanted to let you all how wonderful this community is and how amazing everyone here is always trying to be welcoming and helpful. I've literally never met an internet group of people so devoted to helping others.
I never thought I'd get a BA degree in Graphic Design but I did! While I couldn't go through one of the big 3, I graduated within 12 months through SNHU. With only the use of Pell Grant, I was left with $7k in loans which is very, very affordable compared to my other designer friends who have $70k+ in debt.
A large majority of the posts here involve computer science, business administration, accounting, etc... but I want people to know that with enough research, you can find an affordable alternative for any major!
Ironically SNHU just changed their entire online graphic design program (going into action next week) so I'm not going to bother posting the excel sheet since its essentially useless lol. The changes they made are definitely for the better, but now have 13 classes that can't be transferred elsewhere instead of the previous 12. Still, if anyone is interested in getting a degree for Graphic Design (or Photography): SNHU is probably your best bet. Starting from scratch, Sophia covers almost everything, with Study.com and Saylor filling in some odd gaps and you'll graduate in 14 months now.
I'm still so excited!! Its surreal, I still can't wrap my mind around the fact I'm a graduate and I managed to do it before turning thirty. Its been a long and hard journey, but so worth it. You guys give so many people hope, thank you thank you thank you!! Keep spreading your knowledge and your love -- you change people's lives.
