On your first day of school, someone probably told you to pay attention, do well in school, and get good grades. For me, this message came from my parents, and it was loud and clear. Although unknown, the fear of what might happen if I didn’t get good grades seemed to be the right amount of motivation I needed to stay in line. At least until I took a class called Integral Calculus, where I earned my very first C. I remember that day like it was the end of the world. I felt ashamed and disappointed, but most of all I was afraid. How would this affect my GPA? Does this mean I won’t graduate?

Which Degree Should You Consider?

If you’ve read our Forward Thinking blog, you may have come across the article “Getting Work Experience vs. Getting a Master’s Degree.” Perhaps you’ve even determined a master’s degree is the right choice for you. Now it’s time to decide which degree you should pursue. The University of Arizona Global Campus now offers 20 master’s degrees, and deciding which degree you should get can be just as difficult as deciding to pursue your graduate education.
