Welcome and Hello

So, I have decided to go back to school and finish my degree path in History. I began this journey back in 2001 at Lansing Community College as an undergraduate student in Humanities. In 2004, I transferred to Michigan State University and continued in Interdisciplinary Humanities focusing on Middle East Studies. I graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and moved to Florida.  In 2007, I decided it was time for graduate school and began a Master's program with Union Institute and University out of Cincinnati. This was a completely online program. What sold me was the fact that it is accredited through the same institution as MSU. What a lucky break! I knew my degree would be good!!

That would be a "No"

Well, a couple of days after my last post I received the notice I was anticipating. I was not accepted into the Doctoral program at USF. I am good with their decision. It wasn't a "no, go away" decision. They gave me the link to their graduate programs and suggested I look at other areas, lol. I don't want to pursue other areas. I want my degree in History. Next steps: Look into joining some of the scholarly organizations for Historians Look into getting articles published to make myself more competitive Look at other schools, maybe online programs My dream will not die just because of one rejection. Oh, and I will resubmit to them as well. I am a determined person and will one day be Dr. Julie Ann Hayes.
