is 38 to old to pursue your BS at the university, not online?

Question

please answer if you have achieved this.

Answer 1

never too late to further your education. I know of a women who graduated with her BS the same time as her granddaughter.

Answer 2

It is not too old.

However, if you have more than 5 years work experience in a particular field, such as management - you may qualify to study directly for a Masters' degree.

If you still want to do a BS, being a mature student certain entry requirements may not apply to you as they do to students fresh out of highschool or college.

You should check with each institution's policy on mature students. In most cases have that few extra years of experience is to your benefit when pursuing a higher education.

There may be some trouble fitting in or being accepted by younger peers at first, but keeping a smile on usually wins people over - try it.

Good luck to you!
