Road to a Bachelors degree @ TESC (39-120 Credits) in 6 Months + My official IM DONE!
#11
Riley,

Great documentation of your journey. It managed to be specific, without drowning readers in detail It was a degree plan, fleshed out. It addressed issues (work/life/etc.) that we sometimes use as excuses not to succeed. (Okay, I hope I'm not just speaking about myself in that last sentence.) There were bumps in the road, and you were able to show how you were able to overcome them. It's a wonderful post, and I wish you all of the best. As to the September graduation date? It's Sept. 28.

Exactly! That is the best way to do it. However, since you are considering TESC you should be aware that they are changing their general education requirements effective 7/1 this year, so that may affect your decision this year in particular. This thread has the details.

That is the plan. Knock out the pre-reqs for a MBA and go for it. I start a new job Mid-May (courtesy of my degree) and would like to see how it goes. One of the benefits offered is tuition reimbursement. However, I have been reading reviews for the position I am taking, and I am a little nervous about "free" time to pursue it. We shall see!

Fingers crossed.
