Researching academic programs feels joyous one moment, and like a perverse, sadistic kind of sentencing the next. Though I don't lend so much credence to the imagery that flashes in my mind, the last two are a tad disconcerting. In one, I'm in some furniture-less New Jersey suburban home I presumably own - weeping with a gun in my mouth. The open laptop filled with work for my online degree is the only light glowing in the otherwise empty space. In the next I'm at a joyous graduation from university, I turn to my mother and nearly scream: "Are you happy now?!"; the last words before going to live carefree under a bridge.
Some of the degrees look so exciting, though they same kind of excitement I&I gets from a ripe avocado. Rutgers has an online degree (BA) for Business Administration which my new job at Home Depot would definitely pay for in part. Score. There also is a Masters Degree offered online with a concentration of either: Public and Nonprofit Performance Management or Nonprofit Management; both of which I find agreeable and relevant.
I'm working backwards on this project, or at least a little bit askew, but I'm as excited as I could have ever hoped for. The job pays for school, life and a car. The car allows promotions and volunteering. The heightened 'quality of life' allows me to leave it all behind and pursue my mission - unabashed & most importantly, absolved.
Rutgers is (NOT) the top choice for the moment, this moment being nearly 30 minuets in. NYU has a B.S. (couldn't help but laugh) in Leadership and Management with a concentration in International Business and Global Management - also good for the aforementioned criteria. Not so sure you can get the NYU degree done completely online, will have to do more research.
William Patterson has a online Bachelors for Liberal Arts, I like the way it looks. They specifically state: "This program can also meet the needs of transfer students with a completed AA/AS/AFA degree from a regionally accredited college or university." The concentration options for the degree seem pretty sweet also...I just found out those are called minors. Spanish, Sociology, Political Science, Religious Studies - at least my focus could also fall on something cool.
Fairleigh Dickinson has a online Bachelors and is also on a list for most affordable online college degrees but still would cost 18 Grand. Sheesh!
I was thinking about combined 5 year degrees as Seton Hall had one intriguing program for their combined 5-Year B.S./M.A. in Diplomacy and International Relations. All of their online offerings are Graduate though.
Thomas Edison University has a extensive Bachelors and Masters online degree catalog - Criminal Justice jumped out at me, but only cause I like schooling cops. I think acceptance to either of these schools would work a little better + I wouldn't have to stress about tuition as much. (Edison wins with tuition coming in at $7,519 )
With Home Depot offering $1500 PT/ $3000 FT & $5000 Salaried tuition reimbursement
Thanks Lord! I'm grateful...for everything.
