Bachelor of Science in Management done!

Well, I am glad to say all of my coursework at California Coast University is done! I should be receiving the actual degree/diploma in two to three weeks. I will have the degree awarded in person, my wife and parents will be in attendance.

Aside from that, I applied and was accepted in to the Aspen MBA program. I should be starting that sometime in January of 2007. I told my wife I have been a DL student too long, and it would feel strange not do some kind of coursework. As crazy as it sounds, I guess I have come to enjoy the challenge!

I would like to thank everybody for always sharing their knowledge and wisdom! I wish you all the best.

Congratulations Abner!

Hey! That was going to be my next question.

 

Congratulations, Abner!

You have reaffirmed a previously held belief that education is addictive. With all the MBAs and PhD earners on this forum it indeed raises the bar for us all.

I am sure you will find Aspen University a good school. Did you qualify for the reduced tuition fee of approximately USD4200.00?

Now update your signature to "show off" your newly earned credential.

 

Thanks PhD2B and Sentinel. I did qualify for the $4,200.00 tuition rate. Maybe I will update my signature!

Congratulations Abner ! I'm starting at Aspen this January also.

 

Congratulations, I hope to be following your success shortly.

 

Congrats!

 

Abner,
Great job! I see you are going back for more of that beating! Good luck in your MBA program!

Congratulations!

 

Congrats! Be sure to keep us posted so I can welcome you to the MBA Club! Have you thought about which doc program you'll do after Aspen?

 

Nice Job Abner! You Should start a thread documenting your experience at Aspen.

 

Hey broheim! Thanks so much to you and everybody for the kind words. I will keep you posted on the MBA, and if I make it, I know you will make sure and induct me into your MBA club.

As far the PhD, I am not sure. S.A. PhD program might be a good fit for me. Plus the cost can't be beat! I am paying for everything out of my own pocket, with no reimbursment from my employer. The second consideration would be NCU because they offer a big discount for government workers. Since I am a union job steward, I have been advocating worker reimbursement for my department. Who knows, if I keep fighting for that, maybe I can succeed in having that added in (reimbursment). If I am successful in obtaining education reimbursment, then I would go with NCU.

Of course, pursuing the PhD would really be for personal satisfaction. I do not plan of teaching in academia, as most of you know. I have come to the conclusion I am merely addicted to education. I guess I better finish my MBA first (I hope).

Thanks Ted and everybody else,

your kind words give me encouragement!

Lajazz947,

I just have a question about one of your institutions. How do Californian look at Pepperdine University over University of California system or CalState?

Thanks...

 

Re: Congratulations

Hi Lajazz:

My brother also received his MBA from Pepperdine. Small world.


Thanks,


Abner

 

Congratulations Abner,

Boy, how time flies. Glad to see you have completed the BS at CCU. I am especially glad to see that you will be visiting the school to have your degree awarded.

Good luck with Aspen U.
