Hello,

I'm currently awaiting news to hear about my fall '15 applications and am pretty anxious about it.  To ease my anxieties I'm trying to think about a 'plan B' if I don't get in anywhere.

If I don't get in this year I'm thinking about looking at online programs and pursuing this path online so I can work at the same time.  Can anyone share info about online part-time programs?

The ones I know about are Nova and University of Wisconsin Eau Claire - are there any others?

I'm in New York State, would I be able to get NYS licensure if I got my degree out of state?

 

Also, in terms of getting relevant work experience, should I be pursuing a position at a special needs school?

I think my main obstacle to getting in this year will be my lack of hands on work experience - I'm a career changer (former broadcast new producer) and am a parent to a special needs child, but I don't have any true 'work experience' in the field.

Thanks for any advice!

Look at this if you've not already. :)
