Continuing Education Can be Done at Home!

Being a stay at home mom and continuing your education can be trying, but...it can be done!

Ever thought about going back to school or getting your college degree? Well for many parents, it's hard to go to a traditional college/university without knowing how you will pay for college.

Online schooling is a great way to get back to school, while not having to pay a baby sitter or daycare, because you are already at home! Attending the University of Phoenix (online) has been a great way for me to earn a college degree while being able to still take care of my son, cook dinners for my husband, and spend time with my family.

But ... it takes discipline, because you don't have a teacher looking over your shoulder, and your schedule for school time depends all on you. The University of Phoenix is an accredited school, both online and traditionally, and they offer many degree programs as well as certificates.

There are several campuses in Michigan which include: Detroit Campus, Livonia Learning Center, Macomb Learning Center, and a Southfield Learning Center. I am a Phoenix, and am proud of myself for being determined enough to go back to school and earn my degree, all from the comforts of my home, (well, not to comfortable when I have my son screaming in my ear, but, you know what I mean)! Try the University of Phoenix at http://www.phoenix.edu/ or call 1-866-766-0766!
