Today marks the beginning of my pursuit of a Master of Science in Computer Information Systems degree from Bellevue University. The cost per credit hour is $405 per hour at Bellevue University versus $555 per credit hour at the University of Phoenix (my alma mater.) Bellevue is a much smaller school and has a good reputation.
I’m looking forward to increasing my student debt. OK, that last sentence was a lie. I am looking forward to improving my knowledge of my chosen field. Maybe I’ll become marketable enough to move up in the career ladder and pay back the student loans eventually.
While I felt that my bachelor’s education at the University of Phoenix was of great personal benefit, I was not excited about the idea of pursuing a second degree there – too many of my classes were host to students who had below college level written communication skills.
