I am currently taking coursework from Glendale - a community college that is online and offers everything from associates to master degrees. They are similar to Phoenix University.

I mainly decided to try an online school, because of the convenience factor, however online discussions lack sound most of the time, and you do not get to 'hear' a persons perspective in their voice or mannerisms. Other than that, I would highly recommend it for the individual that is self-motivated, as I am.

I also read trade journals, trade emails, tutorials and various articles to keep my knowledge up to date in the latest designing of print and web media.

2008 Glendale (MS: Graphic Arts)

• Working towards a Master of Science in Graphic Arts, should be finished in Summer or Fall of 2008.

• Orientation of Nontraditional Occupations for Women - Vocational Diploma
  • The ONOW Program is designed to assist socio-economically disadvantaged women to explore and successfully enter high-wage careers in nontraditional fields in which they have been underrepresented. Participants attend an 8-week training session in which they receive hands-on experience using applied math and science and working with hand and power tools. The program addresses concerns of physical fitness, employability skills, and self-esteem.

• Web Design Specialist Certification; Updated my skills with JavaScript, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash

• Design layout refresher

• PageMaker vs Quark
• Photoshop 6.0

• A.A. Humanities
• B.A. English (some coursework completed)

I do have a bachelor's degree but the school is currently fighting bankruptcy and is therefore no longer accredited! So I do not have it listed.
