I'm aiming for a MSc in astronomy, but it's not a research program, rather a taught one. I don't want a PhD in astronomy; I don't want to be a...
Had good discussions in all my classes so far. The four astronomy classes I've taken from Swinburne (to complete my graduate certificate) all had...
Was a member for a few years before I finally got around to doing my DL graduate certificate of science (GradCertSc) in astronomy through...
An update... I got accepted to the GradCertSc program in late 2008. I took 2 classes a semester in 2009, from March-May and August-October. I...
Answers! The trick is that instead of going through a US school, where there's only Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate, I'm going through an...
And then I was silent for three years... ;) Sorry for being so quiet for so long. I didn't even realize it had been that long! Anyway, lots...
Wow, Tom! Pretty neat. I don't know whether I'll be pursuing grad school at this point, and I mostly deal with astrophysicists, who don't...
Thanks for the info, Jeff - very helpful. :) The IT aspect of my career (15+ years at this point) has been a lot broader than just...
GRE Thanks for the tips on the GRE, Bazonkers. I don't have college-level experience with physics, but I did okay in it as a high-school senior,...
I don't consider what I'm doing right now as procrastinating. From early November to mid-December, I'm going to log 40,000 kilometers of air...
Creeping along... Well, I'm back from the 2 weeks of conferences, but have been working far too many long nights, and I've got another 5 weeks of...
I have very few (under 10, to my knowledge) credits to transfer over, so I am looking at spending somewhere under $5000 total at Excelsior. (Have...
Nice tips, Tom, thanks! At this point I'm hoping to go the GRE route. It's certainly not as easy as just cobbling together a whole bunch of...
What I meant was... I looked at the sample exams for all the subject GREs, and determined that in every case, I would need to study for them to...
I've noticed that even within a single school, certain majors will often require a different number of credits. Excelsior, for example,...
Thanks, Tom and Steve, Oaskie and chemist. I realize that I could get a lot of natural science credit-hours if I also took the Bio and Chem...
Hmph! Who needs a challenge exam? If she's psychic, shouldn't she already know whether someone deserves a degree? ;)
Apply to Excelsior, or just enroll? Excelsior offers an application process, which is optional for most majors, costs $65, and includes an...
There's more to I.T. than networks. A lot more. So if networks aren't your strength (they're not mine, either) figure out what is your strength,...
Yeah, and Excelsior gives more credit for GREs, so they're looking like my most likely path at this point. But I'll probably contact all three...
