[kidneysmasher]

@kidneysmasher, Awesome! Congrats on getting that degree completed and cheering on the wife...
How's Liberty U and the DBA program with Info Systems Management concentration going for you?

Thanks. I actually do not start until 24 October. I'm a little nervous about starting, but at this point excited as well.

I am a History buff and my dream is to do a History degree (already have a BAAS) - may I ask what was behind your decision to do the History degree? I have looked at this UMPI one as well. Did you enjoy the class content?

I am a History Buff as welll. I started my BA History when I was stationed in Japan, but changed it to BS Management half way through, as it looked better from a military stand-point. I chose it because it does not matter in one way or another if I completed it. I just wanted soemthing that would be enjoyable for me, as I supported my wife during her journey.

The courses were mainly a few paragraphs per topic and then a series of documentaries to watch. I ended up doing supplemental research in areas that I found interesting. Native American History and the French Revolution as examples. 

Most classes had 3-5 milestones that were 500 word essays. The finals were either 5-8 pages for Zarborney classes and PPTs for Dr. Sebold.

Feedback was decent and the instructors helpful when I emailed them.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to you and your wife!!

This post is JUST what I needed to see today! I’m starting on the 24th of next month and hve 20 classes to complete. I’m doing the same program as your wife. Any chance she’d be willing to list her classes and which were exams/papers/power points? I have read here that the classes change but it’ll help my anxiety some! Congrats again

If you send Jessica an e-mail she will send you the "GEC and competency for Business by Session" document and it will list the classes, description and what the final is. 

My wife took the multi-choice exam courses, expecting them to be easier, but said they had more modules and more intense milestones, plus the exam was very difficult. She much preferred the classes with essays/projects.
