In summary, the speaker is a Project Manager who has been successful due to their love of logic but is now looking to switch to something they are passionate about. They are specifically interested in finding a good online Bachelor program for Mathematics that is "grownup" friendly. They have looked at Mercy and Illinois so far and are seeking insight from the online community. They also mention that they are aware of the limitations of online programs. Other potential programs that are mentioned include Indiana University East, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Chadron State University, and Ottawa University.

Hi All,

After floating around here for a few hours reading some extremely good content, it seems this is a great place to ask my question :) I'm currently a Project Manager and have had great success in the past six years, mostly due to my love of logic; however, I absolutely hate what I do for a living (its the politics... gagh!) and am finally ready to abandon ship in favor of something I love (this is not a whim, it's something I've been looking at for the last year).

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a *good online Bachelor program for Mathematics. I would take Applied Mathematics at my alma (WIT), but they are not really "grownup" friendly with their schedule (I'll need to continue working throughout the transition). I've looked at Mercy, and Illinois so far.

Any insight from the online community? I do see that this has been discussed previously, but did not find anything recent, so wanted to repost the concept for discussion.

*the fact that online is not ideal is fully understood

Thx!
