How I did it: I just completed my masters in Public Health Practice in the UK. I am Canadian, so the system took quite a bit to get used to. I quickly learned that when translated, the term "self-directed study" actually means "you are doin it all on your own, buddy". I am not sure how different my course was to others, but we had very little teaching time and you were expected to find out everything out and had one paper to pass the course… Read how I did it…

I was going to take a year off of this goal….did not get into the grad school i desperately wanted to go to. I was waitlisted, and then they told me that they weren’t taken any more people from the waitlist. buuuuuuuuuuut a week ago i got an invitation to join the class in the fall. couldn’t be happier.
A couple of months ago, i was officially conferred the degree of Master of Arts in Literary Studies. I was over the moon. I also got an unexpected pay rise. :) My graduation ceremony will take place in slightly over a month and I will have to collect my Academic dress soon. Needless to say, I am ecstatic, and my days of being broke seem to have paid off. :) If you can’t tell by now, I’m immensely happy. -1st June 09
God knows what I need it for. It’s actually M.Phil, the theme of which would scare my potential employers off.. Just kidding. Hope it won’t.
ktyson08 isn't even able to comprehend what this year could hold
School Picked: Liberty University (so grateful for distance learning!)
Program Picked: Master of Arts in Human Services; Communication Studies Specialization
Monday: Applied to the school….and did the FAFSA.
I graduate in May. Last year’s research project/moving to a new area stuff was probably the most stressful of all my educational years, but this final semester is wearing me out….i’m at the point now where i want to be done and over with college….I have an extreme case of senioritis. I want to be done now. I’m glad i’m almost done. I will be on the other side shortly. And then the celebration begins. :-)
Krishanu De needs that silver lining now!
I have got confirmation from one of the universities and still waiting for other threes to respond.
In the mean time, I am am planning to apply for Swedish Universities too.
Good luck to me.
No one told me the application process would be almost as arduous as actually working on the degree! I’m applying to 6 schools; 2 of them in Texas, and 4 all over the place. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I’ll probably end up going with the one that offers the most money though!
