I am finally getting serious about furthering my education (and more confident in taking on the debt, which has been my biggest reason to not continue my education). Unfortunately, the degree I want is not offered in my area. USC offers the exact program I was thinking about but I am on the other side of the country and would need to take all online courses. I am not sure how I feel about this. I love social interaction. I love the classroom setting. On the other hand, I know I can be dedicated and get the work done on my own. I just really like the idea of physically attending classes, sharing dialogue with others, etc...

Has anyone here completed their masters online? What was your experience like?

I am going to call around to the local universities to ask them if there is a way I can take their similar program but tweak the specialization. I don't know how much success I will have with that but I think it is worth a try. Especially because I could pick up work teaching classes at the school and have my tuition significantly reduced.
