After receiving my AA degree from Colorado Mountain College, I faced the dilemma of which college to attend for my BA. I did not look forward to driving to classes several times each week and moving was not an option. When I learned about CSU's online Social Sciences [now Liberal Arts] degree program, I was thrilled. I can access class information and complete assignments at my convenience and still travel, ski, and watch the elk migrate past my home. While the online degree program may not be compatible with students who need socialization and personal interaction with instructors, it has been perfect for me.
