I endorse Southern CT State University. It prepared me well for life in the school library (and beyond if I so chose). I could've taken courses completely online; however, I love being on a campus. I did about a 50/50 split. Back when I was getting my degree, I did at least one course that was 3 credits in 3 weekends. We would be on campus Friday night and all day Saturday, then we would do our coursework in between those three weekends. Not sure if that option is still offered, but it was fantastic. Dr. Jane McGinn led it. I still remember her name! I also took an intense summer course (two weeks every day on campus) on Storytelling. At the time, I didn't think I'd ever use the material, as a high school teacher. Years later in 2010 I found myself at a K - 9th grade library (where I still am though now we have pre-K). I still use info learned in that storytelling class regularly!

Feel free to have your friend reach out if she would like more information.

Best,

~Val
