Graduate School Anyone?

[snazzlefrag]

I'm 24 and hoping to graduate in the next 9 months. Traditional classes drove me absolutely batty since the majority of people in the classes were my age and only there to party with their parents' money. Add in lackluster instructors, extra fees that don't give me anything, unreasonable class times, majors I didn't like, parking problems... hmm, I forgot- what was it that I was paying for?? I'm married and have a job and family in town, so I think testing out of the rest of my degree will suit me just fine.

I was thinking about an MA in Human Resource Management for later on, but I'm also starting to look seriously at flight school since my work schedule just became more flexible.

Hi Katterina,

Welcome to the board!

I notice in your signature that you are going for a BA Liberal Studies with an Area of Focus in Psychology, from Excelsior.

An Area of Focus requires 21 credits in the chosen subject. But are you aware that 30 credits will get you an actual BS in Psychology?

Since you have 52 credits to go, you could almost certainly work in the required exams to get a full major in Psychology, if that is something you would like to do.

I'm not saying that is what you should do, but just wanted to make sure you were aware of the option.

Excelsior is changing their policy for the Psych degree after Jan 1st, and it will no longer be possible to fulfill all the requirements by exam. But if you enroll in the degree before that date, it IS possible to test-out of the entire Psychology major.

Anyway, it might be something for you to consider.

It's good to have you with us,
