I have 2 courses left to complete and thought that it was time for an update.  In balancing work, family and school, I opted for Colorado State’s 4 year, 1 course at a time program.  I’ve enjoyed the DVD lectures that arrive at my door about 4 – 5 days after the evening class in Fort Collins and I’ve benefitted hugely from working on team projects with both onsite and distance students.  My only misgiving with the 4 year program is that I soon lost a number of classmates to graduation whom I’d enjoyed working with.
