Re: Walden University
Posted by Original Poster on 1/15/08

    Thanks for the feedback!
    Actually, I'm looking at Framingham State as well.

    I've been torn between their elementary ed and reading
    programs. It's my understanding that it's possible to take
    all of the courses in elementary ed online, but not in the
    reading program.

    I guess I need to follow through with the DOE to even see if
    it's an approved program. Thing is, I believe I have to go
    through the process of having it reviewed, which takes at
    least 6 - 8 weeks, and I really wanted to get started on my
    coursework this semester.

    Thanks again for responding. What program are you in?
