Online College Degrees



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping someone on here can help me. I am a junior in college, majoring in Entrepreneurship. I currently am only taking 9 hours because I just started my own business. I own a ladies shoe boutique. I am considering next semester maybe finishing my degree online. The university I'm at doesn't offer it. Have any of you gotten your degree online??

Sorry, I just saw this thread, so I hope it is still relevant! I am currently working towards my degree in psychology online. I did 1 year and a quarter of college on campus and for a few reasons, money, time, convenience, and surgery, I decided to switch to my college's online degree program. I felt comfortable because I am still taking the same courses I would have on-campus, same professors, and same requirements. My degree will not say "on-line" and will look just the same as on-campus graduates, I am also able to walk in graduation if that is something I am interested in. If you are able to find an online degree program similar to mine, then I suggest going for it! I am wary of certain programs, such as the ones seen in television commercials (collegeinyourpjs.com, etc) because I am not sure of the accreditation or how reputable they really are.

Anyway, I am now in my second quarter of online courses and so far am really enjoying them. My grades have increased, I am able to work more hours at work as well as have a more open availability. I am not constrained by having to be at a class at a certain time multiple times a week so I am able to complete my course work on my own time, whether that be during the day or 2am.

You didn't really ask any specific questions so I just gave a little overview of my experience thus far with online learning. Let me know if you have any other questions!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
