Do you think I could do this while working full time? Also, will I need to do alot of writing/research papers? I am trying to avoid the whole scholarly journal research/review stuff. Any advice?
I would like to complete my master's in less than a year, but have limited personal time outside of work to do it. Please advise.
Even though I do have a lot of time on my hands, you can complete this degree reasonably. I wasn't doing the assignments everyday all day long. Well, except whenever I waited to start an assignment on the day that it was due. The most of the courses I took, had about 5 or 6 assignments in each one. Most of the assignments were due every 2 weeks, allowing plenty of time to turn in an assignment.
I would suggest that you first take up to 12 credits worth of classes with VESi to transfer. Make sure you do them after the confirmation date of the bachelor degree. These classes are very cheap graduate courses, and can be completed and submitted within 2 weeks.
All of my courses required research papers. These have ranged from 10 to 20 pages. The good thing though was that they just so happen to be due on different weeks of each other, that really helped. Since I took 3 courses at a time, except for the last semester when I took 4 courses. Some of the courses also require writing about articles. They are not so bad though, they usually are just about 3 pages.
The really good thing about their courses that I really like is that you are able to review each courses syllabus, prior to enrolling into the class. It lets you know which ones to stay away from, and which aren't so bad. Allowing you to hopefully stay away from those 20 pages papers. Although the professor can and have changed what is in it. I had one who changed our 20 page paper to a 10 page paper, happy I was.
Going off of the courses I took, finishing within a year is very doable, especially while you're working full-time.
