    One of the lowest credit hour cost in the state. A whole semester and with books can cost as much as one credit hour at the major university down the road. FYI some of the teachers who teach there also teach on the side here.

    I am 51 years old and returned to school last year. I left home when I was 15 and spent my entire life working way too many hours. It was time I did something for ME...so I am pursuing my love of writing, and I WILL be a published author!
