I started looking into grad school a few months ago, then let the idea slip for a few months as other priorities sprung up. Now I'm back to thinking about it again.

When I started thinking about graduate programs a few months ago, I was really into the Nonprofit Management Master's program at Milano The New School for Urban Policy and Management in NYC. In looking over the materials for that program again today, I find I'm far less enthused about it. I did notice in the Milano "give us all your money and we'll let you try to earn a degree" book that they offer some of their courses online.

Moving is a harrowing thought right now, though I would like to get out of Tucson and Arizona (despite the voters just rejecting that odious benefit ban). But with online courses, I could live just about anywhere, continue working and earning money to be able to afford to move, and make progress toward my graduate degree at a pace that is more comfortable.

So I went to The New School "Online Campus" website and they do actually offer one Master's Degree program both entirely online and on-campus.

The program is the
MA in Media Studies. Media studies is always something that has interested me. My undergrad degree is in Drama (no, seriously, that's completely without irony). Before I entered the Theatre Department, I was a Cinema and Photography major.

I guess this comes down to the age old question of what I want to be when I grow up.

So tell me, what do you think I should be? I welcome your thoughts, including all you lurkers who read but never comment and all you readers who I've never met but who somehow find your way here.

The bonus to all of this is now I have more to meditate on. Sweet.
