RE: Charles Sturn University

I need an IT degree.

B.Sc and certification isn't cutting interviews anymore.

I'm looking at doing the CSU B. Business / B. IT combined degree.

I heard good things about CSU. They got good course layouts and structures
and don't hang you out to dry having you trying to figure out all the messy
confusing course work like UTS & Sydney Uni.

I got a couple of friends at work who are doing their degrees by
correspondence.

One guy is completing his remaining UWS units via CSU's cross-institutional
study.

Sounds like the thing for me. As far as I can remember I hate rocking up to
campus for lectures etc. Travel sucks. Hard to get part-time jobs centered
around uni, so center the uni around full-time work instead.

You can do (expensive) subjects (eg. B.InfoTech cores) as an Associate
Student (almost) at any time, which will count towards exemptions if you
choose to pursue the whole course later.

I'm going to get more advice from team leaders, friends, account/service
delivery managers etc.

Downloaded my admission *.pdf's today.

Trying get my Database Management Systems subject application in before 15th
June ...
