When you graduate, are you able to attend commencement ceremony in person, if you did the program on line?

[@hello3angel]

Yes, you are! This year, they have a list of locations you can choose to attend for graduation. I will be going to Orlando in February.

What about doing a dual major? It didn't give an option to when I was doing the application the other night. Congratulations on finishing up!!

[@hello3angel]

I am not sure how graduation works for dual majors. Perhaps they have different times for different departments or schools? In general, I am sure you could do a dual major if you wanted to. I don't see why not. Good question to ask them when they get in touch with you! Which areas are you wanting to major in?

[@samanthajorden1131]

Ba in healthcare management (I have an associates in medical office administration) and I wanted to get a BA in human resources.

Do another video? Based on homework

[@hello3angel]

Hi! I just did an update (5), and hopefully it answers at least some of your questions about homework. If you have any other questions about homework that I did not address, feel free to ask! I'll answer the best I can.

Ok. I'm confused. You mentioned that you were able to finish a course in a month or less. Are we talking a course that would traditionally take as much time/effort as a normal 15 week undergrad/grad course? I think that's where I'm hung up. It seems almost impossible to finish something like that in a month, particularly if you work full-time. Are you up 24 hours a day working on course work or am thinking about this all wrong?

[@hello3angel]

Azzurri82 Thanks for the question! So I am a teacher and only worked some of the time during the summer. I used most of my time in the summer to get through most of my courses. Also, I have a great deal of experience in the field as well as in research. Let me know if you have any other specific questions!
