7. MCC or ASU?

   JRdaMacman replied to JRdaMacman's topic in Arizona

   Thanks for the advice! I will look into the accelerated program; that sounds like a MUCH better solution to what I'm starting to see as a "never-ending college career." :) I think you're referring to NAU, but not sure... So I'll just Google it. I gu...
