Wow!
I just joined intracert- and with IC's help, got a 68 in Sociology.
 I am so inspired by everyone's determination to finish, and I am in awe at Brian Fey's speed at finishing two degrees!  1-But now what? If I finish my BA (I am taking core classes in Organizational Management at Ashford U- online, and clepping everything else) who takes an online BA? What are my options for a Masters? 2- What will be the reaction of people hiring when they see my degree? Does anyone know? How does this compare with b/m degrees in the real world? I am 37, married to a great guy who is also back in school while working; have six kids, hold three jobs, and am attempting to get my degree by December 07. Any advice? Thanks! Etta

Hello Etta - Welcome to the IC-Forums-Classroom and CONGRATS on passing your Sociology exam!! As to you degree/diploma concerns, there is no difference noted or listed indicating D/L or B&M. It isn't necessary and/or required to indicate how/where you obtained your degree on an application and more importantly D/L degrees are prevalent these days and considered an acceptable practice if not a standard one. Thanks for your compliments too and Good Luck!!

Ph.D Anyone?
OK, this may be perplexing to many, but of those of you that are considering going on to graduate school (or have completed their Masters), how many are seriously considering a terminal degree such as a Ph.D, Psy.D, D.BA, J.D. or any other Doctoral degree including an M.D.?

I am not considering a "terminal degree" at this point. I intend to finish my BS in May-June 2008. After that I might consider a Masters if I find the right program, but I have no intention of going beyond that.
I guess I'll ask now: is anyone familiar with an online MBA program with a "name" (like U Penn or Penn State or Florida State) that is nationally accredited, BUT allows for some flexibility about the time period? All of the big name MBA programs I looked at have set 1-year and 2-year programs with a large price tag. I am looking for one that I can take slowly enough to have my employer pay for most of it ($5250/year)  I know that a lot of people are going to ask "Why not CCU or Western Governor's" so I'll answer that ahead of time. To me, a 4-year degree from Excelsior College seems impressive enough for most jobs. If I am applying for a job that actually needs an MBA, I have a feeling that the name will matter. Please let me know why you disagree, though! P.s. It looks like I'm going to be in your graduating class, cinderly
