These days, you can't get very far in most professions without an undergraduate degree. Whether you take the traditional four-year path living at a college, attend night school, or take distance learning classes, there are things you can do to help yourself succeed in your pursuit of a degree.

  1. Find the right school. To get an undergraduate education--a bachelor's degree--you'll of course have to attend some sort of college or university or take college courses online. Don't buy the myth that there's a "perfect" school for you out thereand no other will do. Many schools can provide you with the things you're looking for. And every school has its positives and negatives. So figure out what you want--what you want to study (major, minor, other interests), where you want to live (city, suburbs, home, dorm, off-campus), what other opportunities you want to have access to (clubs, sports, internships). Then research like crazy in books, on the Internet, at the colleges themselves, and find a good school (good faculty, good curriculum) that's also a good fit. Or find several schools that are good fits for you. As you narrow down the list, talk to the admissions departments at these colleges and compile all the things you need to apply: Application, test scores, transcripts, letters of reference. Look into financial aid, as needed. And apply. You're on your way!

  2. Meet with your advisor. Meet with your advisor about your required courses and work out a strategy for taking all the classes you need when you need them. Your advisor is the professor or other academic professional assigned by the college to help you do what you need to do to graduate. Usually, your advisor is a professor within your major's department. He not only knows the course requirements of the college, but also those for your specific field. He can help you navigate electives and minors. Meetings with an advisor are often mandatory around course scheduling time, but don't hesitate to reach out to your advisor at other points to make sure you're on the right track and to talk in general about your concerns. Double check when you register that you've taken what you need to take; the last thing you'd want is to delay graduation because you missed a required course.
