Degree Progress

I learned about the Master of Science degree in Technical Communications in October of 2003, in a department meeting at work, where as a new department, each person shared their "history." Two people in the room had earned this master's degree. I had no idea there was such a degree program. I had been wanting to get an advanced degree for a few years now, inspired by my sister and the attainment of her doctorate degree, but didn't want to get it in computer science or mathematics. This degree progam sounded perfect.

I submited my application in November of 2003, with the support of recommendation letters from three special people in my life: my sister, my friend Steve, and my friend Irene, and I was accepted into the program in December of 2003.

My first class was on January 12, 2004. The program consists of 33 credit hours, and at 6 hours per semester without attending summer sessions, I anticipate completing my degree in the Fall of 2006. I generally take two classes (6 hours) per semester, after work during the week, and take the summers off. I plan my classes around my Wednesday night dancing.

Classes taken so far and/or scheduled to date:
