What I Love About Granite State College

I had attended three different colleges during my teen-and-twenty years based on my interests at the time; and after starting a family and being an at-home mom for close to 10 years, decided it was very important for me to finish something I had started many years ago. I applied to GSC, began with one class that would have been a requirement for any degree, and it took close to a year for me to put together all the documentation. My GSC adviser helped define my previous credits, determine best and most economic line to a bachelor's degree, and apply for those transcripts from a decade before. My adviser was patient and we worked through what credits were transferable, and which would not be.

It has taken me almost 8 years since I began with GSC, while raising three children and working full-time, to complete my bachelor's degree.... but at the end of this winter semester, I will have completed a B.S. in Management with a Finance minor. I am proud of myself and my family for their patience, and I have appreciated the hybrid, week-long intensives, on-sight and mostly the flexibility and challenge of the on-line courses over these years. Thank you GSC for giving me the chance to finish what I started and to set an excellent example for my children.
