    Right now I'm taking a couple of basic courses at the local community college (cheaper than Potsdam or Franklin College) that will transfer towards my bachelor's in Computer Information Systems.

    The only way to get financial aid & student loans was to be matriculated into a degree program. I'm signed up for an Associates in Computer Information Systems, but I don't think I will do all the courses for the whole degree. I already have an Associates degree. I just want to be able to start at the 4yr level and not need any of the basic computer classes.

    This semester I'm taking:
    Accounting 101
    Micro Economics
    Intro to Computer Programming
    Meteorology (it was that or Chemistry NO THANK YOU) - my only online class

    Sound like fun ( well not the chemistry )
    my neice took chemistry in high school while she had to take it again in collage this last year ( said its sure not like high school )
    I knew Potsdam was expensive ( she was there on a schalorship(sp )

    I'm actually considering going to Franklin College instead. Reason being, Franklin College offers a program with my community college that transfers all my credits to the four year degree AND I can get my Bachelor's 100% online.

    Considering my schedule with the kids & having to work more hours, that appeals to me more than having to drive an hour north to Potsdam 3-5x/week.

    Yeah especially with your weather up there.
    My neice in North Carolina took her online corse through Phoenix AZ
    college.
    She is a nutritionalist. I would love to be that and counsel people with healthy eating. ( She works from home for some Drs down there)
    Going to see about something like that myself....
    Right now i'm so busy getting my business and the cancer benifit going that i don't have much time for other stuff.
    Best Of Luck To You
