[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1362402, member: 7488"] My fathers girlfriend went back to school and completed her bachelors at Oklahoma Wesleyan here in Tulsa (she was in her late 40s early 50s). They have evening block scheduling and it worked well for her: 1 class at a time, in the evening hours. It may be worth looking into, though being private it is more expensive than the state schools. It also is nearly all adults, or as they say, "Non-traditional Students," in the courses. Her degree is in accounting. It required a couple a math courses. I think they have other more general programs though (i.e. Management or general business). Though depending on what you are wanting to do, I am not sure adding a degree to your resume will help your job aspirations (as you work for yourself, right? If you continue doing that it may not be that beneficial). If you want to do it for the sake of getting the degree, I say go for it! You should not have to take the ACT or other test to re-enter, and they may well count some of your other coursework as elective credit towards a degree. OU offers courses (look up their Outreach programs) for non-traditional students. I completed my entire Master's degree in 15 months going on Friday evenings, Saturday days, and Sunday mornings. Two weekends with some pre- and post-class assignments earns a 3 hours course of credit. LSU has very inexpensive online courses ( [url]http://is.lsu.edu/home.asp?level=CO&online=0&nid=101[/url] ) but it is self-paced in my opinion that can be more difficult and less enriching than attending an actual class.
