Good Luck and try to stay focused. I've been doing online finishing prerequisite classes for Nursing. It isn't as easy as I thought but take the time to get the work done on time. I have a tendency to drift and procrastinate, not good. If you're dedicated you'll do great!

It's definitely all up to keeping up with the work. Assignments are usually due sat or sun night, get them done before Thursday, that's what I did last semester. I had to take all online because my credit card expired and the classes weren't paid for, so they took all my classes and I had to take all online... But it's definitely advised to get everything done before the weekend. Good luck brother!

I have been going to the University of Phoenix Online for about 4 years now. I am working on my BA in Criminal Justice. It is not a bad way to do school in this modern time of ours. But, like others said, stay on top of it is an it is not hard. Read your assigned material early so that you have time to ask questions if you are unsure. I was out of school for 11 years when I started college and like anything else, once you get a routine down it is not too bad.

Congrats to you, I admire your decision. I gave up on my 4 year degree but still love to read and educate myself, I cannot understand those who do not quest for more knowledge continuously.

My wife is just finishing up her second degree, and she went almost entirely online. The thing that helped her the most was making connections with other students in her class. Become facebook/email friends and talk about the class as it is going on. It helps keep the class in the front of your mind when you have people to talk about it with and discuss homework.

Thanks everyone for the advise! I can't wait to start. I'm sure it will be chalenging, but its something I want to do and there are a lot of people in my "corner".
