Aubrey getting her M.A.?!



Well...it is possible...likely, even. I have been looking into M.A. programs (for myself), and after much searching, I think I have finally found one that is 1) enjoyable/right up my alley 2) easily done from Israel through an "external degree" program, 3) cheap, and 4) a quality program according to individuals whom I respect and trust in my field of study. Where is it? Maybe I should make you guess :) I am currently looking into the HUX program at CSU Dominguez Hills. A good friend of mine (you know who you are) is currenly finishing this program and recommended it to me. I have added a link on the top of my link list so that you can check it out for yourselves. The basic overview is as follows: I would be working on my Master of Arts in Humanties Degree. This program requires you to complete 30 units: 9 classes and a thesis paper. Classes cost only $198 per unit!! This means that I could complete the program for less than $6,000. In addition, all the work is done via postal service and Internet, meaning that I wouldn't have to show up on campus (no residency required). All of that said, I am very excited about this possibility, and Mark reallys wants me to do it too. I could presumably finish the degree by the time that Mark finishes his (or sooner). At the same time, I plan to continue doing ulpan (Modern Hebrew language school) for the two years that I am here and will probably look to tutor/edit papers in English. (Don't edit what I am writing now!) One of my Hebrew teachers has already told me that she would pay me to edit the papers that she is working on in English.

Sounds like a plan and I'm sure you could pull it off. It would be a lot of work doing correspondence courses and keeping up with Ulpan, but I know you're not afraid of hard work. So what did the teacher say she'd pay for editing?!
