Yesterday I finished my second class. It seems like I just started, yet I have already gotten 5% of my required credits (6 of 120).

The course I just finished was PSY202 Adult Development. It was the first time that I had read much about Freud, Erikson, Levinson, and the other modern giants of learning and emotional development theories.

I finished my first class this week. EXP105-Personal Dimensions of Education. It was dedicated to teaching adults how to fit school into their lives, and reintroduced us to the disciplines of school such as properly formatting a paper, and basics of punctuation and grammar.

3 credits done, 117 to go!

My current class is PSY202-Adult Development and Life Assessment....

The format is accelerated, with...

I begin courses on Nov 27th. I discovered that you cannot get a MBA without a BA or BS as a prerequisite. So I am going to get my BA first, and then continue through my MBA. This will take me several years. I will post here from time to time about my progress.

My own story is that I have a High School Diploma, and no college. I have 16 years of experience with my current company, and I am trying to find an MBA program that will honor my work experience to grant me admission into their program. I know they are out there, I just need to look.

I plan on taking my GMAT before the end of November and be enrolled in a program beginning in January. I don't know as I sit here if those date are realistic, but they are my targets. I am looking exclusively...
