Did they provide a level of education similar to a classroom environment? Thank you in advance for your input!
I need some good ADVICE. I have been living overseas and have been doing a Masters in Education ONLINE at Seton Hall (so it is accredited, part of the brick and mortar school). I didnt want to waste time, and that is why I did it. I completed one year of the 2 year program. Bcs I knew I was coming back to live in the U.S., I decided to apply to a local University to complete the Masters in person at the University. They “assured” me I would be able to transfer ALL the credits and finish the Masters in one year. Because of this, I took a leave of absence from the other program.
NOW, I get back to the U.S. and spoke with my advisor at the University local, and she told me that there was a problem and that all my credits will NOT transfer, and that I have to begin the Masters from scratch and do everythign over again (I can only transfer 2 courses). Because I took a semester off at the other one (I didnt want to pay for classes that I would have to take again), if I go back to take ONLINE, I will not be able to start classes again (it is a cohort program, in which we take classes at the same pace) until August 2010, and finish in Spring 2012, the same as the local University.
So, basically my choices are to start the Masters from scratch at the local University adn start in January 2010 and finish in Spring 2012, or wait until the fall 2010, and continue online, but only have one year of classes to complete. (and not have to repeat all the classes again) I know it is “better” to do it in person, but for this degree, I dont feel it really matters in terms of connections, because I will be taking the internship here in the U.S.
I am so confused, what should I do?? Would you take the entire program over again just to do it in the classroom? or wait until the fall and finish online and only have one year left. Either way, I will finish both programs in Spring 2012….what do you think I should do??
MAinly for specializations in : Education and Technology or Educational technology, Distance learning…and any degree related to Ecucation and IT….
I am currently pursing a master’s degree at Capella University in Reading and Literacy. And so far I have had a great experience with my classes. One of my friend’s earned a master’s degree in counseling and now works as a school counselor. She enjoyed the program.
I am thinking about taking online courses. I wanted to know if there was a site that can show me a wide selections of online schools, online courses, online degrees and or online degree programs. I am mainly interested in online education only. I prefer to learn at home while I work on my career.
I’m looking for some new books to read. I pretty much only read books containing the following subjects:
1. African American (non-fiction)
2. Autobiographies (especially those about entrepreneurs and CEO’s)
3. Self-Help books (i.e. money saving, career advancement, business)
4. Career Related (I’m in advertising/marketing)
5.Entertainment Media (i.e television, film, radio)
I am a college student looking for a part-time job related to my Financial Management Major. What places would you recommend I go and apply at? I live in Birmingham, AL which is a huge city so there are a lot of options. If you have some tips and suggestions for certain companies to apply at please let me know. Thanks!
I’d love to hear from all you primary school teachers out there. What are the positives? And the downsides? And how is the workload and career advancement potential? Are you happy with the career choice you made?
