Registering for Fall Term
in 30 minutes, that is. For some reason online registration isn't available until after 1pm on Sunday...
However, that has given me some time to look around at the course schedule, and get a feel not only for what I want to do this quarter, but what I want to do overall.
It looks like, even with transfer credits from WSU, I'll be in school for about 7 years if I pursue the following schedule:
2005-2007: Associate of Science Oregon Transfer-Business Degree (ASOT-Business) program at PCC
2007-2009: International Business Studies Certificate (ISBC) program at PSU
2009-2012/13: Business and Law (JD/MBA) Program at U of Oregon
The ASOT program may only take a year and a half, as there are about 24-30 credits of the top of my head that should transfer, and it is a 90 credit program. I am not sure if I will be able to take the paralegal certificate program as originally planned, since it requires an AAS (which doesn't transfer) and has very little transferrability from the courses I would take for the ASOT.
However, the ASOT will get me into PSU as a junior in their Business school. The ISBC program has other requirements in addition to a regular BS in Business Admin, but once I finish it, I should have laid most of the foundation for ensuring my success in Japan, when that day comes.
The JD/MBA program seems to be exactly what I was envisioning as the crown of my education. Between it and the ISBC, it is almost a perfect match for my vision of becoming an international business law consultant.
I think I'm off to a good start. In a couple weeks, I'll finish the Principles of Accounting class with a 3.8. This is a little shy of the mark, but it has been pointed out to me by a couple of people that this should be expected, as I was job-hunting and acclimating to re-entering the workforce after 18 months of unemployment.
Anyway, next quarter I will take 6 credits, and if I make at least a 3.5, I'll schedule 9-12 credits for the following quarter, depending on what I can handle.
Update: Registration is complete. I am scheduled to take BA212 and BA205. I wanted to take BA226 or BA242, but wasn't sure which. However, since both classes are full, the dilemma was resolved with no participation required on my part. I'll be quicker to the punch next quarter and probably take both, along with BA213.
