slipstreamsurfrI took another CLEP exam. No sense in letting this eye thing stop me from moving forward. I passed the Human Growth and Development exam today by a fair amount.
What does this mean? Well, it means I'm done!! Complete! Finished! I talked with Thomas Edison State yesterday and got them to approve a class they had marked as a duplicate, leaving me with a bare 7 credit hours needed. I have 6 hours going to them already from College Board from CLEPs I passed earlier this fall. Today's CLEP puts me at 9 hours, 2 over. Assuming there is no final hang-up with them on the credits, I am done! Degree to be granted either in March or June, depending on if I can get into the queue fast enough for the early one or not.
I will have a BA in Liberal Studies. This is their version of an interdisciplinary degree that allowed me to use all of the oddball credits I have in my rather long and twisted academic career. Soon I'll be able to check that box on a job application stating that I have a 4 year degree in something or the other!
Next up, I guess it's time to decide if I want to go to grad school, and if so, what in. I'll most likely lean to the business/IT side and do an MBA with an Information Systems focus and try to get in teaching at a college somewhere. That's what I ultimately want to do in the end. In this economy, having the MBA won't hurt in the future.
I think I'll take at least a little while before I start studying for the GMAT. At least few days! ;)
We'll see... that's for the future, for now, I'm just happy! Now to make sure all the paperwork goes through correctly!
