Belle - -There are many Adult Education Classes you can take, which probably cost a lot less than mine and take less time, too! My Daughter's Friend from Elementary School lives in Alabama, and she is taking online classes from Harvard University; I think they are "Free" or "Low Cost," and cover many areas of study. She has taken one class on "The Civil War" & another one on "Women's History!"I will get details for you!.......I probably should have followed that path, because my Tuition is astronomical and my courses require about 100-200 pages of reading per week, a quiz online each Friday, a written "Discussion" each week online, a Term Paper for each upper-level class (300-400-level), and a Final Exam with many Essay Questions! All this is crammed into 6-7 weeks! If I was able to, I would be better off taking classes on campus, where I would have 15 weeks to master the material, but all courses are online now! I study about 30 hours per week for each course I take, and the University requires a minimum of 20 hours per week! If you are still interested, I will give you more details on the Message Board. I don't want to scare you, but I pay my Tuition with my Social Security Checks, because there is no other "action" for me in Arizona, especially this year with the Corona Virus. (I don't shop or go out much, so my only other expense is my monthly Grocery Bill.) The books are also pretty expensive! The Professors are very demanding, too! I've only earned 3 A's & 4 B's out of 9 courses so far, and that was because I had been exposed to those subjects earlier in my life. You can check it out at myasu. edu or www.asu. edu. It's been "A Long Haul" for me. I'm not sure it's for everyone! There are 15 courses required for the Degree, and I was lucky to transfer in most of my Undergrad Credits, but only 5 of my Art Courses as "Requirenents" or "Electives." They limited those and said "No more transfers," so I lost about 20 hours of Art Studio Courses. It's "A Grueling Course" that only a person who has a lot of time on their hands would take. And when there is "A Family Event," there are "No Excuses" for "Lost Time!"
