Thinkin' about the online MSW program at USC right now...Hmmm...It costs the same as onsite without having to go to classes and they work with agencies within my community...Don't know if I can afford it, but they are a top ten for social work school in the country...Don't know if I'm disciplined enough to handle an online education though the idea that we won't have to move anywhere for my education is a big plus, not to mention that I'll be doing all those field placement hours on top of school, so maybe eliminating travel time to a campus is a plus too...I'd like to stay in SF for awhile.
I'm gonna apply and if it works out, then school starts in March of 2011, and if it doesn't then I will continue on with my first choice and apply next year since the deadline for scholarships is only a few days away now and life has been too stressful for me this year as is, Washington University's George Warren Brown School for a MSW in Mental Health.
