We know you are busy and juggling many priorities, and that you want to fit returning to higher education into your busy life.  We offer you a variety of ways to do this.  Why don’t you take a class or two to ‘try out’ a new field or build on your current knowledge base?  You can take up to 6 classes in a degree program before applying and committing to a major.
