Here is an interesting approach that I am taking that I thought I would share. I am taking all of my general studies/general education courses through Sophia; check out sophia.org, and once I have all of those done I am enrolling in a degree program to earn my degree and focus on my major (business administration). I don’t think I would want to have a degree in general studies I would rather just get these courses taken care of then focus on my major or area of interest.
If you haven’t been to Sophia yet, check it out I have taken 6 courses and they are great! They are $329 a piece for 3 or 4 semester credits and there are no textbooks!
