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!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
