Once you get used to testing out you will think twice about doing a traditional grad program IMHO.
This is what happened to me and is what led me to ncu. I cannot be tied down to a class schedule. If I want to work for nine hours both weekend days on my class then I want to be able to do it and to be rewarded for it by progressing accordingly. I am taking a mix of classes and some of the computer classes at the graduate level are appropriate for a grad student just coming out of college but are way below the level of a professional with fifteen years of experience so I will be able to complete those courses without studying or reading any books. I can complete them literally in a week. If i attended a traditional school I would be as bored as I was in first grade when I could already read on a fourth grade level.
