>I have not heard of this society. I am scheduled to attend the January 2008 seminar. Can you offer me any insight into the external degree program. I have an associates degree, so I am pursuing my bachelors thru this program. A lot of the info I have gotten seems kind of vague. I am a stay at home mother of two, so I really need to do something on-line. I am hoping to finish my degree in about 1-1 1/2 yrs. Are there many classes to choose from? Was your experience with this program a good one?
Thanks!
Have any of you heard about the new External Degree
