Degree completion for my niece at an RA school that is well regarded and

...not wildly expensive.

She began her undergrad degree at Hofstra University in NY. Because of family issues, she was unable to complete her studies.

Her average is a 3.2.

She now lives in South East FL.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

She is in Lake Worth. She has two years of college. Which of these are better? She will be a returning student and feels "old" at 26.

That is one reason why she in interested in an online program.

 

They are about the same.

The top state school is, of course, UF. They have some online programs and I know some remote locations you could consider. Is there any program in particular she is interested in? FIT is also a great school with a lot of online options.

 

Since she is considering online school, then I would recommend her
Public Universities
- University of Florida (1st)
- Florida State University (2nd)

Private Universities
- University of Miami (1st)
- Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) (2nd)
- Nova Southeastern University (3rd)

 

Florida has a number of degree completion programs available through a state initiative called Complete Florida.

I know! She's 26 and she feels old. I think it's even worse when you are closer in age to the other students.

 

I am currently 31, but 6 years ago I felt that I was an old man.

 

We've been trying not to use those kinds of words on this board.

:yikes:

ummmm, I mean . . . you're an inspiration to us all.:sly:

 

fftopic:

Sorry for dragging this thread even more off-topic. To the OP: Does she have a preference for the subject area of her degree. There are lots of degree completion programs. Some of them yield Liberal Arts or General Studies degrees. Some are more specialized, like Mathematics, etc.

 

Not really. Nothing too mathematical. Auntie, that would be me, is doing the pushing...um encouraging. She does not want to be "the oldest woman in the class" so DL appeals to her. She is a good writer. However, I don't know of any distance undergrad creative writing programs.

That is where her heart lies.

 

The University of Central Florida has an online BA in English-Creative Writing.

Thanks! I will pass them on to her!

 

The University of Illinois at Springfield has a program that sounds exactly like what you are looking for: degree completion, entirely online, English major:

UIS English Online Degree Completion

I'm currently enrolled in a similar degree completion program, Mathematics major, at UIS and will graduate in May. I can recommend their programs wholeheartedly.
