The University of Scranton
I’ve looked at quite a few online universities over the past few months. I’d like to continue my education, and my Mum actively starting to do so has inspired me further. However, it’s hard to narrow down a focus. I’d like to do something with technology and something that would actually improve our income situation rather than further cripple it.
Yesterday I came across The University of Scranton, who have a 100% online AACSB accredited MBA program. This is interesting to me given they were ranked in the Top 15 by The Princeton Review, however I’m not sure that an MBA is really what I would need, but then not only is it a degree but apparently it’s the best online MBA that you could get, particularly as the program is a 2 year program, whereas most other school programs take 3 years. I’m all about cutting down the time it takes to do something and still getting the reward. I searched when I was interested in hypnotherapy until I found a program that required two three-day weekends rather than six Saturdays, and meant I only had to travel two hours instead of six. You have to make school work for you, right?
I’m going to be digging around a bit more and see what this program could do for me. I maintain that keeping my options open is the best bet. At first glance something can seem to not be a good fit, but then I set my heart on PR and once I actually got into that program found out it was NOT what I want to do. Stands to reason that something I don’t think would work out might really be a good idea.
