After taking a few weeks to gather the required documents for my application to Norwich, writing what I hoped was a great essay telling them why I wanted to be there, and submitting everything the day it was due (because I graduated from Kaplan that same day), I was in “waiting mode”.
I was told it would be about a week before I knew ...

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land
This is the ...

I submitted my application to Norwich University late last week. It was a pretty involved process. Items required included the following:
Application and $50.00 fee
Admissions essay
Current resume
Three letters of recommendation
My undergrad transcripts
As I stated in a previous post, the problem I was running in to was that the ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! - Yep, today I am 37 years old. But that's no excuse not to keep posting on eLearners.
Gotta love the fan mail! Right in the middle of final exams. Awww yeah! Keep ‘em coming. I do enjoy helping people out. This question comes from J Mercado and asks about Kaplan's Human ...

How cool is Kaplan? Let me tell you how cool.
In my four years at Kaplan, I’ve been extended some latitude in terms of deadlines and such due to work constraints family issues, etc.. The instructors that I’ve had have been very receptive to issues that arise that are out of my control. Granted there have not been ...

Kaplan University has been doing some expansion. They will offer three new master's degree options as well as several undergraduate degree programs in fields that are experiencing rapid job growth. Among the new programs are a Master of Science in Management, Master of Science in Higher Education, and a Masters of Science in ...

Just thought I’d throw out a random, mid-term update. Actually, I passed the mid-point in my final term at Kaplan a week or so ago. I’ve been busy with life, but I’m happy to report that I’ve maintained grades ranging from 93% – 99.5% in all three of my classes this term. I am really pushing so I can ...

As always, I am happy to answer any questions you might have in regards to online learning. Here is one of the latest pieces of fan mail (as I like to call it.) Paul brings up a great question in regards to either getting certifications or getting a college degree. I’ve applied some practical experience here in answering ...

Greetings one and all. I just past the half-way point in my final term at Kaplan. Things are gearing up for the big finish. A lot of things have been going on behind the scenes at work that have me scrambling around dealing with change. I am working about 10 hours a day, trying to keep up with school (I have an ...

I recently received some questions from a potential distance education student asking me about my Kaplan experience. I am pleased that my work here has raised some awareness about Kaplan and has caused people to write me with questions. If anyone has any questions about Kaplan that I haven’t covered here to your satisfaction, ...

“It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.” --Dalai Lama
As I had mentioned a while back in a previous post, I encouraged and convinced a friend of mine to sign up at Kaplan ...

“Ambition is an uncomfortable companion many times. He creates a discontent with present surroundings and achievements; he is never satisfied but always pressing forward to better things in the future. Restless, energetic, purposeful, it is ambition that makes of the creature a real man.” --Lyndon B. Johnson
As I had ...

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.” --Thomas Jefferson
I’ve done a lot of web projects in the ...

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.” --Dale Carnegie
Today marks the 6th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, so it is with mixed emotions that I post something that represents a happy time for me. As the end of the term gets closer by the day (50 days ...

“I don't care much about music. What I like is sounds.” --Dizzy Gillespie
I spend a lot of time writing about my experience at Kaplan University. My journey has been rewarding, and I am very happy that I took the initiative to go to school to earn two degrees. The other day, I was looking back at the way ...

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” --Dale Carnegie
Now that I’m a couple of weeks into my final term at Kaplan, I have not only found that I am more than eager to absorb the material and take it all in (as ...

"I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money." --Lord Acton
In my four years at Kaplan, I have been lucky in the sense that all of my materials are provided for me. That includes books, software, and everything else I needed. The only things I have ...

I would like to take the time to reveal a few of the characteristics of the Business/Management program at Kaplan. While I cannot speak for other schools that I have not attended, I wanted to take this occasion to point out my thoughts on the final two years of my undergraduate degree.
This probably isn’t the same curriculum ...

I had a weird feeling today. I am not sure what came over me. My classes started yesterday, but I was unable to participate in the message boards and introductions due to other obligations (i.e. sick kid, etc…) In addition, I have accumulated about 4 hours sleep in the last two days, so my mood is not as chipper as I would like ...

I am glad that I chose the career that I did. I haven’t often thought of trying a colossal career change. I’ve been fortunate to get experience in engineering, support and management over my 17 year career, and if I were to try what some people might think of a career change, it would only be an extension of what I have ...

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I look at it as a milestone of sorts. It’s the start of my final term at Kaplan. I have a mere 69 days left in my undergraduate career. When things like this happen, the entire time I’ve spent doing this begins to come into perspective.
Four years ago I started this journey, but it ...

I do a lot of writing about Kaplan University. Most of it is about my experiences that have happened on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis. A lot of people who contribute to eLearners do a great job of providing advice to others about how going back to school is such a great thing (if you are prepared to accept the challenge). But I ...

Today is a good day. I spent the better part of the last two days getting my final exams done. They are complete and turned in. And one of them is already graded. For anyone who might have the idea in their head that distance learning is not rigorous, I can just show them the final project from my IT Management class. ...

Posting here on eLearners.com has paid off. I finally got my first piece of “fan mail”. I am always eager to help people out, so I thought I would post the interaction here for everyone to enjoy.
I am about to enroll in Kaplan University to study law (Associates of Applied Science -- Paralegal). I have read some of ...

I took a big leap this week. I took the next step in my educational “career”. I started my application to Arizona State’s online MBA program.
The application isn’t hard. It was not as complex as I thought it might be. I filled out what I could, and then saved the application for later ...
