full time grad school vs full time work and online classes?
I am accepted to non-local grad school for fall.
The school provides distance learning and traditional study.
If I want to paticipate in the class, then I need to leave my job and move to the other city, but this will allow me graduate in one yr.
My other option is to work full time and take online classes. My employer does provide tuition reimbursement for full time employees, but it doesn’t pay until two yrs after I complete the class. If I choose this option, I will need to spend 2 yrs or more to graduate.
I wonder which option is better? Did anyone complete their grad school online while employed full time? How does that like? I hear it is not easy. Is that true? Also, do I really miss a lot if I am not sitting in the classroom?

Its all according to your circumstances. Do what feels right for you. I know a girl who did online classes and worked full time and she said it was easy and she has no debts from it. However I went to the other way and took traditional classes. I feel you gain a lot of people skills and can enjoy having professors there to help whenever you want. Its awesome to communicate with other students who are as smart as you and who are going through the same things as you. It enriches your life for sure. So either way is good its up to your circumstances and what you believe is the better choice for you.

I have completed an on ground Masters as well as an online Masters while working full time. Both were challenging but I personally learned more and found greater enjoyment in the online Masters. I enjoyed it so much I am now pursuing my PhD online. As long as you are self motivated, you should have no problems. Both programs I graduated from were accelerated and I completed both in 1 1/2 yrs. each. The pace should really be determined by how much pressure you want to place on yourself. Good luck!

if you can afford not to have a job for a year and have enough money for all your education and living expenses, then do the 1 year program. if you don’t, then do the 2-year online thing.
