I friend of mine said she would like to finish her MBA and was checking out online programs for that. This spurred me into looking at options for myself.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I had been investigation some of the internet ads for online degrees. Most of those places are on the other side of the country which shouldn&#8217;t matter since it is all online but I thought I would check some close by options. this led to spending more than a little time on the web site of my alma mater, Humboldt State University(HSU).<\/p>\n<p>HSU offers an MBA, <a href=\"https:\/\/business.humboldt.edu\/content\/master-business-administration\">https:\/\/business.humboldt.edu\/content\/master-business-administration<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>It has a focus of Strategic sustainability. This means it is a green MBA. I doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look lite-weight though. It is a one year program that includes a fulltime summer. It is full of financial management and strategic analysis courses so you will come away knowing something<\/p>\n<p>The next thing I looked at was their Master of Arts in Anthropology. <a href=\"https:\/\/anthropology.humboldt.edu\/anth-welcome\">https:\/\/anthropology.humboldt.edu\/anth-welcome<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is also a one year program with a summer program at a dig site in either Poland or Belize. Looks very cool. They have three emphasizes: cultural, archeological or biological. There last being for those who want to dig up freshly dead bodies rather than ancient ones.&#160;&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I noticed that all these degrees had prereqs, so I looked into how to meet those without going back and taking a bunch of undergrad classes. Here is a list of tests available to meet those prereqs. <a href=\"https:\/\/registrar.humboldt.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/pdf\/catalog\/general-sections\/exams.pdf\">https:\/\/registrar.humboldt.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/pdf\/catalog\/general-sections\/exams.pdf<\/a>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>I then looked at ways of prepping for those tests and found several options. A particularly good way is online classes. This place <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/subject\/business-management\">https:\/\/www.edx.org\/course\/subject\/business-management<\/a> does a great job for that. you can audit online college level classes for free or pay a small fee and get a certificate of completion. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve done classes through Edx and they are for real. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I spent some time investigating higher education.
