I got an interesting note stuck to the online degree dorm room door last night.
It read ‘ “Can you tell us a little more about yourself, Ben?”
Hummm. well, I kinda like my privacy. Actually that’s one reason I’m here promoting the online degree programs. In my opinion, you can keep things a little more private with an online class than one in a traditional classroom.
You don’t have sit in a 200 seat lecture hall, and you don’t have to worry about how you look (not that I worry much about that anyway 
)
And you can keep a lower profile - if you want to. Just make sure that you are responsive in your online classes and discussions. You can’t hide in the back in an online class - the prof can see how much you’re contributing in the online chats and discussions that class is having. So make sure you speak out, and speak your mind. But you don’t have to tell them what shampoo you used last night, either.
But in the event that you really MUST know a little more about me. I’ll give you these juicy details:
1. I live in North Carolina (if you’ve been reading the posts you already know that)
2. I have a family. A wife and 3 daughters (I’m blessed!!!)
3. I’m re-living my college days through my daughters OK not true…well kinda true…
4. One daughter in college, another one starting next fall, and another the fall after that!
(OWE is me!!)
I’m pretty convinced that an online degree is NOT the right thing for them. But I will be talking to the oldest about attending a graduate school online. That’s where the biggest bang for the buck is right now. But who knows? In a couple of years my youngest could be sitting at home attending a online class…as long as she cleans her room first
Enough about me - let’s talk about YOU - and how YOU can get a degree online that’s right for you and your goals!

Check this out.
As of the fall of next year, the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences (FHCHS) will no longer have a RN-BSN degree program on campus.
Why? Because they’re moving the entire program online!
In fact, students already enrolled in on-campus courses will be transitioned into the RN-BSN degree online program and as of the Fall 2007 term, no on-campus BSN courses will be offered. All future enrollments will be only for the RN-BSN degree to their online program.
The online RN-BSN program began in 2004 with 26 students, and has grown to 369 students.
The program helps working professional Registered Nurses (RNs) attain the education necessary to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Students enrolled in the program live in communities as close as Orlando and as far away as Okinawa, Japan.
Dr. Nancy Haugen, Chair of the Department of Nursing had this to say about this change in their offering:
“The number of students who are choosing the online program really shows how valuable the flexibility of learning at home is to nurses trying to balance personal and professional obligations. With this in mind, we feel it is important to focus our attention on developing the online program.”
So, score one for the online degree program!

OK, this is probably off the beaten path, so to speak, but I thought it was very interesting way to get some college
credit - if you have the time (and money) to take the trip.
It’s called the “Scholar Ship” and it’s a new way to get an international education.
The Scholar Ship is a semester-long academic program aboard a dedicated passenger ship that will
travel around the world.
Scholar Ship is partnering with Royal Caribbean and the United Nations University and is backed by a
consortium of universities in Australia, China, Morocco, Mexico and Ghana.
The ship holds about 600-700 students, and the first trip starts in September 2007. It will begin
in Piraeus, Greece and take in five continents before ending in Kobe, Japan in December
Pretty cool, huh?
Oh, I forgot to mention - it costs $19,950 per sememster, which covers tuition,
living costs and voyage.
Bon Voyage!
