<p>I know that it only offers a few majors and that the classes are obviously in the evening, but at the end of the day is getting an evening degree the same as a normal degree at UW?</p>
<p>For instance, are the transcripts and diploma normal UW-Seattle with no mention of 'evening program' or 'educational outreach'?</p>
<p>I was just looking into the program and wanted to know if I'll be getting the real deal diploma from UW-Seattle.</p>
<p>Im in the process of emailing them, but I'd like to get CC's take on it as well.</p>
<p>Thank you so much guys.</p>
<p>When I went to Transfer Thursday they had someone from the Evening Degree Program speak for a few minutes, and she said specifically that your degree would say University of Washington, just like any daytime student’s would. If they had more classes in the areas of anthropology/archaeology I want to study I’d absolutely go that route instead. Alas.</p>
<p>thank you for your response! that is interesting! so there aren’t any differences in diploma/transcript?</p>
<p>I am an OOS student. I am interested in majoring in communication, and if i do the evening degree, I am billed at a lower rate.</p>
<p>It seems too good to be true haha, thats why Im wondering what the drawbacks are besides having to take night classes lol.</p>
<p>again, thanks so much for responding :)</p>
<p>Not that it sounded like to me. If that would be a cheaper option it may be worth seriously looking into. UW is a highly ranked school, but if you did the evening degree program you’d be restricted on what classes were available since they’re not all taught and those that are aren’t taught as frequently. You would be able to take a limited amount of regular daytime courses with special permission though, so if your schedule allows for it I’d say give it a shot.</p>
<p>Do some research into how many actual professors teach the night classes vs. grad students.</p>
<p>I’m not saying it’s all of them or anything. I have no way of knowing that. But I do personally know alot of grad students teaching in the evening. If I’m going to spend that much for my education I want to be taught by the actual professors. Otherwise the grad students are less experienced then community college teachers</p>
<p>Also another neg about the night thing is that there are (obviously) way less choices in classes.</p>
<p>That said, if for whatever reason night school is a person’s only option…they’ll get a decent education anyways</p>
<p>Yeah Im looking into that! But I totally agree</p>
<p>Do you know if the diploma/transcript is the same as the day students?</p>
<p>thank you for your response!</p>
<p>I unfortunately don’t. However one quick call/email and i’m sure you’ll know:</p>
