Just Starting Out

[smf6824]

I saw TESC talked about around the forum . They currently don't offer a health management degree.

What's the third one? Are they each non profit?

After 6 months or more of taking tests and taking self paced classes I'm sure I'll pick a college that is right for me. I think right now I just want to start doing something towards my education and have a head start on school no matter which school it is.

Thanks

The Big Three consists of Thomas Edison State College, Charter Oak State College, and Excelsior State College. Though these schools are fantastic and decently priced don't limit yourself to just them, do a bit of research. It sounds to me that you really are not sure of what you want to do for a career. You state health care management, are you currently in health care? You can get into management in healthcare with a business degree too, so why specifically healthcare? If you are uncertain of your direction start out with CLEP and DSST exams that would fulfill your general study requirements at most schools. If you desire to go to the "Big 3" then start racking up ACE or NCCRS approved courses through programs such as ALEKS or Saylor. Take your time and realize this is an investment that takes dedication, focus, time, and finances. This is NOT an easy path, and will require a lot of effort. So until you figure out what you want focus on general studies. If you will never figure out what you want go for something broad such as business because it can open up several doors. Either way Good Luck.
