Amer. in Bkk, Thailand seeking inexpensive means of getting a Master's degree in Am. or Eng. literature or rel

Question

I would deeply appreciate any knowledge that can be supplied to me. I quit my Master's degree program when a book of my poetry was accepted for publication through a university press. The book had been my early creative writing thesis. I would like to find a means of rectifying my errors and returning to my studies. Although American I don't think I can get student loans but if there are scholarships, grants, or rather cheap online classes for an internationally recognized degree this information would mean a lot to me.

Answer 1

+ It seem that the online degrees are the fastest and least expensive. I was one of the founders of ACETI years ago.
Phoenix seems to be the largest.
Good Luck

Answer 3

YES. Don't knock what you don't have. The masters is required if you ever want to be in a management position. Now dig this: In the Army National Guard all you need to get your commision is 12 college credits; a B.A. to make Major; and a Masters Degree to become a colonel. No Masters - no colonel. It is the same way in civilian jobs. Upward mobility demands a sheep skin.
