Giving it another try.
I decided to continue my education when my Son was around the tender age of 2, because I wanted to make sure I was giving him a good future. Little did I know that what was in store for me. Had I known about being able to continue my education online, I would of done that instead.
After our move, I am going to finish my education by getting an online degree. I had to make sure that whatever school I chose would have the requirements or courses I wanted. Since I was studying Business Information, I was so excited when I saw that Western Governors University offers those courses. They offer financial aid, which I was able to get before. I qualified for the Pell Grant which is a wonderful opportunity to those who are financially strapped and its all accredited by the US Dept of Education. Which is a major score!
And for those of you who are interested in getting their online teaching degree that too is also available. Another bonus to this, is how affordable the courses are. I mean, where else can you go and have your 6 month total basic tuition costs be $2,890 for most courses. Especially when you have the opportunity to finish your courses on your own time and even have the opportunity to finish your courses a lot sooner than regular courses at a local college.
On the flip side of this, WGU is a fully accredited online education institution and you will be able to transfer your credits over if you decide that attending a college in person is what you prefer. I enjoy the idea of doing all my courses in the comfort of my own home. I cannot wait til' we are moved where I can finally finish what I started 9 years ago.
