The Jesus factor

What you can do (which was my plan) is use the summer sessions to meet your residency requirements. They cap your distance learning to 6/10 of your degree. So, you will need no fewer than 2 summer sessions. (they say 1 but it's 2 because of the proseminar and field study). A summer session is 7 weeks and you can stay on campus in the dorms...it'll cost you...but it's an option that is much easier than a 16 week semester.

Yes, easier than 4 months. But two separate 2 month sessions is rough.

I'm doing the Master's in Information Technology through them (already have the prereq/admission courses done, just need to finish this B.A. NatSci/Math to officially enroll) and there is no field study, so it is just one summer session.

I'm going to see if my employer will let me do some telecommuting when it comes time to do the summer session. If not, I'll do a long vacation and/or leave of absence.

Also, I like that they let you take whatever else you want, so I plan to take one IT class and one other class each semester (biology, economics, philosophy, political science, etc.)

Which program were you interested in, cook, that required field study? Biology? Environmental management?
