    Well, I posted another thread

    http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10983

    and I've requested information from both USQ and UNISA, and I haven't received anything yet. I e-mailed Mr. Craparo as well (I read on this board that he is the US rep for UNISA), but no answer either. Perhaps someone here has his updated contact info, assuming he is still the American contact?

    In the above thread, Frankie suggested I look at TESC or COSC. I can't do a second degree at Excelsior since my first BA is from there.

    So....I've looked into the Ohio University courses as well as taking the GRE (COSC accepts 24 credits from the Math GRE). The only problem with these options is that I would still be missing what looks to be 6-15 credits at the upper level.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for upper level math courses?

    Perhaps I should just take the Ohio University courses and go to a brick and mortar for the rest? I see there are some Master's in Education degrees with mathematics concentration...but I can't seem to find the links now.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Remember that it's summer vacation in Southern hemisphere.

    For USQ, check that you used the right email address: [email protected]

    Oops! That's right, it is summer there. I went to the US rep for USQ...we even talked on the phone and he said he would send the forms...I will call him again.

    I found some schools mentioned for math education degrees:

    Texas A&M
    Univ. of Idaho

    Colorado State
    Rochester Inst. of Technology

    I will look into these programs as well to see what the prerequisites are. Maybe I don't need a BA in math...?

    For most of their offerings you definitely don't need a math BA. Usually just the normal calc sequence, ODE's, and maybe prob/stat.

    oxpecker: Thank you. I'm going to request info from Sturt.

    Texas A&M and Sturt are both looking very good.

    Tom57: I see you are correct. I'm keeping my options open, because some of these grad schools are rather expensive, and the likelihood that I will complete a grad math program is significantly lower!

    It makes sense to at least try for some kind of degree, even if it is only a second BA degree...although it doesn't make sense to do more than I need, I suppose.

    Upper level math courses available

    http://www.uidaho.edu/eo/newhtml/spring2004.htm#math

    Let's see...I think I'll need a minimum of 3 or 4 of these in order to top off the 7 math courses at Ohio University...

    Ohio U: Challenge by Exam, 7@$240 = $1680

    UofIdaho: Upper level, 3@$1250 = $3750

    I can't really tell what TESC or COSC requires for upper level credits...300-400 Level? or what? How many at the 300-400 level?
