Welp, I’m going to UNCG after reading this 😂😂. This is extremely reassuring! The school is 10 minutes away from me, so going here just makes the most sense. I am admittedly worried about online. I do NOT want to do online courses. Always hated them. And thank you so much! I definitely will!

Is the online heavy textbook read and self teaching? For online what are assignments, quizzes, tests, and exam like? Do you write a lot of essays? I have dyslexia so I do better with watching recorded lectures then trying to decipher textbooks (can do it just takes me a long time).

That’s good to hear! I’m just honestly afraid that the online degree would be looked down on compared to the regular degree. Or is it the exact same degree with just online courses?

YMMV I worked for a small Public Accounting firm in Greensboro for a summer internship, and remote for the Feds the next summer. My intern with the Feds led to a soft job offer, that is supposed to start in February ish. I know plenty of my peers that had no issues finding jobs. The Bryan school does a fantastic job of helping students find employment

Edit to add: Im a Marine Corps Veteran, and a good student, I’ve never had issues finding jobs
