What I wouldn't have given for the chance to take classes on my own schedule! When I was taking night classes, the internet as we know it didn't even exist. Now you can take classes online and complete your assignments when it's convenient. As a mom, I can definitely appreciate that flexible schedule, but I can see it being an advantage for other non-traditional students, as well.
American Public University (APU) offers courses that are 100% online. Accelerated programs and flexible courses are also available, so students can balance schoolwork with family, work, and other responsibilities.
I was impressed to read that American Public University has not increased undergraduate tuition fees in over ten years, and APU provides degree-seeking undergrads with their course materials at no cost through a Book Grant program.
This month APU is hosting several live online chats with moms who have returned to school. If you're at all interested, I encourage you to take the opportunity to learn about their experiences, challenges, and successes!
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of American Public University. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
One day I plan on going back and finishing up my degree. Who knows it may come in handy one day :)
ReplyDeleteI think about this a lot. I never went to college, had kids when I was 21. I don't regret it. It's what God wanted me to do...but someday I might want to go back to work or be involved in a ministry role and I think that it might help for me to go back to school. I have been thinking lately about helping others in the Christian mental health field...gotta get my bearings, but someday! I am a pretty good listener and encourager, but we'll see. Great info :)
