Tonya... What did you have to do to get accepted into the Masters program?? Take any tests, etc. I know UW-Madison has on-line. UW-SP (near me) has Masters programs and do the remote classes too. My problem is that hubby has an associate degree in Computer Programming while I have my BS. So I decided that he can go back to school first because he doesn't have his bachelors but wants it. I think that is why on-line would be better for me now.
I really think online is great for working moms, I would never (or at least until my kids were grown) be able to physically go back to school if I had to attend classes. It is hard enough working full time and raising a family, plus school work and taking time out from my job to attend classes (not to mention the pay cut). In order to be accepted in the Master's program, I needed to have at least a 2.75 cum GPA for my BS, other than that, that is about it. I am not a full time student, probably only take 2 classes a semester (6 credits), and I need 38 credits to graduate, but I am not really in a hurry. It is $500 per credit for my online degree. I am applying for financial aid, but doubt I get any.
UW-SP is a good school, and would probably be cheaper than UWM. You should check into it. UWP has an online BS degree in Business Administration if your DH is interested. I believe it is $225 a credit. Here is the URL: http://www.uwplatt.edu/~disted/
Good luck,
I am excited to start back, it has been almost 9 years since I graduated from college, I hope I remember how to study!!!
I don't have a whole lot to say at the moment. I'm still not eating well, smoking again, getting a cold, not sleeping well, basically I'm a walking health mess. I keep telling everyone I'm going to have a nervous breakdown after this weekend, when I'm scheduled for a 12-hour day on Saturday, may have to come in a little on Sunday, and somehow have to find time to move in all that! I'm not sure how I'm going to do it. I just keep thinking Sept. 29 — that's when, if all goes well, b/f and I are going to the beach for a week's vacation. His job could always tell him at the last minute he can't go, so there's some worry. I'm going away. I need to get away!
Back to work and writing about disaster plans ... what fun.
Tonya, you didn't have to take the test for graduate school?? I forget what it is called, but a friend that applied to vet school had to take it... like an ACT/SAT test for graduates. If not, then I don't know what I am waiting for. I have been undecided because I thought I had to take a test. I graduated almost 8 years ago, so I am close to you!!
Nope, no test, just your GPA. Even if a person has below a 2.75 GPA, they can still take graduate credits, if they perform well after so many classes, then they are admitted. Online classes may function differently than on campus programs. You should definately check into it. Nothing to lose. I am glad I decided to go for it, I was really undecided a few months ago. But, I think I needed something in my life to strive for, a new goal. Plus, I don't want to be a computer trainer forever, and my boss is retiring next July, so I think in a couple years I would like to do something different on campus. Maybe teach or move up in management some how, that was the main reason I decided to go into PM. I would also consider teaching a PM online course eventually. Then, I can still "teach" because I really enjoy that, plus still stay in the computer field.
(Sorry everyone, didn't mean to go off on a tangent about school!!)
PHEW - who knew the United Way kick off event could be SO MUCH WORK?? I have worked my fool butt off for this event...and its not until Monday. I have a Richard Simmons look alike guy coming down to pump everyone up for the Run/Walk! It should be a BLAST!! (HOPE, HOPE)
Lori - you deliver babies? Taht's cool girl! Your DF sounds like a honey, what a cool surprise for you!!
Kim - good luck movin'!! Cheer up you walking health infraction!!
Well, I ate a Thai chic wrap with white meat and v. little sauce, and I don't know if Ishould count it as 10 or 15?? What do you guys think?
Jen and Tonya - I just finished my Masters degree in august. I went part-time for 2 years, taking 2 classes each semester. I went to classes on campus for a degree in Human Resource Management. I specifically wanted to finish school before we had kids. I think it would be very hard to do both, attending class and all. It is still hard to baland real life and school work. I admire your goals and wish you the best!
Kierie - yucky old(er) man!! how old are you? how much more do you have until you are done with your undergrad? Good luck!
Lori - your fiance sounds wonderful!! How great to get flowers so unexpectedly. I keep hoping but I haven't gotten flowers in almost 2 years Sorry your weekend was so hectic. I hope you have some downtime now though
Kim - Ugh, you have too much going on! I hope that you have some time to relax before the big move. Your vacation will be well deserved when it finally gets here. Take care of yourself!
I am so ready to go home now! Only another half hour. I took the mtero to work today b/c my car needed service. I am going to buy flowers after I get my car and then go to the gym. I hope I will still be motivated since I will be getting there so much later than normal. I would really like to go home and plant the mums and clean my kitchen floor. (I know you are all jealous!) Have a great night everyone. Don't know when I will be back on line this week.
Ok, since we weekend trip is cancelled, I am going to a Chili Cook-off on Saturday, with country music and all you can eat!, then a couple's shower that night and a Tex-Mex BBQ on Sunday. Tons of food this weekend. We'll see how I do!
I envy you Master's girls! When I finished undergrad in 1994, I took the GREs, telling myself it would get me in graduate school within 5 years, because that's how long the scores were good for. Haven't gone yet. Part of it is my field. I don't need to go for journalism, because working at a paper is the best experience for that, much better (I think) than a Columbia degree can give. So I've tried to think what else I could get a master's in. I've thought about criminal justice, because of my long-term fascination with the FBI (I've thought about applying), or teaching, to teach journalism at the high school level.
Who knows. I did a week-long seminar at the Univ. of Maryland in crime and punishment issues in the spring and I loved it.
Still can't stop eating. Ate another Twix bar. What's wrong with me???? I'm making myself go to Wi tomorrow. Gotta scare myself into stopping this eating binge. Doesn't help that I'm PMSing and wanting chocolate so badly!
how old are you? how much more do you have until you are done with your undergrad? Good luck!
