Hi everyone! Long time listener, first time caller
Your Location: North Carolina, United States.
Your Age: 45
What kind of degree do you want?: Any, including post-grad certs. I'm open to an entry-level/non-BA master's program. I want to add additional credentials for accounting to move out of the human/social services world. I want to use my MPA in a less direct-interaction-with-the-public way . I have been advised by several people that accounting will open more doors in government. I would like to get credits that could be used for a MAcct. if I choose to get one later.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
Abilene Christian University, BSW, 2001
University of North Texas, MPA, 2003
I have taken classes at other universities before but I honestly don't remember what they were (10 yrs ago-ish). None of them were in an accounting or finance discipline though.
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits: None
Any certifications or military experience? Nope
Budget: I'd like to go the cheapest route possible, but will consider spending more for easy and fast.
Commitments: Honestly, just my pets. I currently work full time and can work on my studies part time or in the evenings/weekends.
Dedicated time to study: I can study as much as needed during the night or weekends. I have no social life to speak of. I estimate at least 3 hours every week night and on the weekends, maybe 6 hours, total would be roughly 15+12=27 hours or slightly more.
Timeline: Finishing the courses required for the degree as fast as possible would be ideal. I would like to finish in 6 mos-1 yr if possible because I am so burnt out from social services, but I'm not really on a fixed time table.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: None
Thank you for your help!
