I had a great meeting last Thursday with my academic adviser regarding my educational progress and goals over the next couple years. We went over the remaining requirements for the Meeting and Event Management Certificate (Bucket List Item #6) that I am working towards right now (2 courses left!) and my plans to eventually obtain my Bachelors degree in the same field.
We concluded the meeting by submitting an application for the AAS in Meeting and Event Management - a 60 credit degree that takes into account my previous Gen Eds from Madison and the certification that I will have completed by this fall. All that's left to do is forward over my Madisonian transcripts and await the confirmation of admission. Going for an AAS would extend my education only an additional semester from what I had originally planned - not too shabby.
Once the AAS is completed, there will be an additional year at the University to obtain my Bachelors. So... when all's said and done, I will have a Certification, 2 AA degrees (1 Liberal Studies, 1 Arts and Sciences) and 1 Bachelors degree. I'm excited for the next couple years and for my educational and industry experience that I have to look forward to.
To my Friends and Family: Please except this advance apology if I occasionally fall off the face of the planet. I've got a very full but exciting couple of years ahead of me. :)
