I have had hopes and dreams of pursuing a PhD since I was small. I found myself at the point where I was ready to tackle the quest for a terminal degree, but given my geographic location, my options were very limited. The online option had started to emerge and several online schools had emerged to the forefront. Intrigued with the possibility of fulfilling my educational goals in a new, technologically based format, I investigated several different online schools including Argosy, Walden, Northcentral, University of Phoenix, and Capella.
All of these schools appeared to offer high quality, online learning opportunities. After fully investigating the components and requirements associated with each, Northcentral rose to the top as the school that would best meet my needs. Unlike the others, Northcentral did not have a "residency requirement" - in other words, I really did NOT need to leave the comforts of my own home and laptop to complete my degree. There was no traveling to various locations around the state for a week at a time, on my dime. Because I travel extensively for work, this looked perfect.
I held my breath and submitted my application to Northcentral University in April 2007.
