    USC - PhD in Media and Arts Practice (I'm actually gonna try to get into this program after my MFA)
    University of London, Goldsmiths - PhD in Arts & Computational Technology (I'll try to get into this one as well)
    Gnomon School of Visual Effects - Certificate in Digital Production for Entertainment (although it's just a certificate, it takes 2 years and costs a shitload of money. So it's not really wothy to do it, but I'd love to)
    Harvard University - MBA (yeah, I know, it seems totally unrelated to the others:D)

    Good thread AU!

    So here are the programs I'd like to get in to someday and forgive me if these seem attainable:

    1. Master of Global Management - Thunderbird (will be a nice bookend to the MBA from UMass)
    2. Master of Extension Studies concentration in History - HES
    3. Master of Extension Studies concentration in Legal Studies - HES
    4. Ph.D History - GSAS - Harvard University.

    Catch is that educating myself is my hobby and I believe in having hobbies that provide a foundation for better quality of life and potentially income.

    Of course, I have to get over my apparent mental block in regards to Corporate Finance if this is going to happen :)

    Thanks, IT.
    You could theoretically knock two of your programs out in conjunction with one another. I know someone who attended the HES History program and managed to get into the PhD in History program. He attended a small state school down south and didn't do great there (3.0 gap), but performed well, got involved with some research that was eventually published and built relationships with some Harvard professors. I think he is one of the best HES success stories I've heard of, he also happens to be one of my best friends and really sold me on the merits of the extension school.

    Either to go back to Ole Miss and take both a BA and an MA in Southern Studies, or to get into HES for a Masters in either History or Government.

    The Southern Studies program at Ole Miss is amazing! My buddy mentioned in my previous comment in this thread who is doing his PhD in history at Harvard was actually rejected from Ole Miss's PhD in Southern Studies.

    It is an amazing program, isn't it? If I could only figure out a way to move to Oxford for a few years...

    Instead, I'll have to try and be content with a degree from Harvard one day! (First I have to figure out how I'm going to manage that residency issue--commuting from the deep South isn't going to be easy.)
