    Hello All,

    I joined this forum 8 years ago. At the time, I had my Bachelor of Arts from Western Illinois (done via distance learning) and a Master of Science - Management Information Systems from Nova Southeastern University (Institute Format). I worked full time and had a family. I needed something different.

    I found this forum and monitored the results. Touro University International caught my eye. I enrolled in late 2002. I did the coursework one class at time so I moved slowly through the process (3 1/2 years of coursework). I have spent the last 3 years working on my dissertation.

    That dissertation has been approved. I made it! My dream has come true!

    Thanks Dr. Bear! We talked on the phone one time and I bought your book "Campus Free College Degrees" where I found both Western Illinois and Nova Southeastern.

    Thanks all for helping find a wonderful university - TUI University.

    Thanks for the posters -- you have been inspiring.

    Let me add my name -- Dr. David Holcomb -- to the success list.

    Thanks all!

    Thanks everyone. I want to encourage everyone to post their successes. Nothing encourages others as much as hearing the success, sharing the pain, and seeing the congrats so freely given.

    I am honored by everyone taking a few minutes to respond.

    THANKS!

    Congrats!

    May I ask which doctoral program you completed with TUI Univ.? Also, what was the format of your courses? Was it all self-paced CD-ROM courses with no discussion board activity?


    Thanks,

    The process has been a bit of a stress on me so I am going to take a break. I don't see me ever retiring so I will eventually teach somewhere. Probably going to do some online teaching rather soon.
