so my current situation:
Currently a Psychology major at a traditional university and on track for graduation by end of 2011-2012 school year.
While I definitely plan to go through medical school in the future, unfortunately I would still have some unsatisfied course requirements post graduation.

My current plan is to apply to a online Masters program.
Possibly the CACREP-accredited MS in Mental Health Counseling offered by Walden University. Completion of this program would supposedly (yet to confirm specifically with advisers) set me in the direction towards LPC licensure if I so opt to.

I feel that an online degree would afford me the time to gain valuable work experience. I can also finish up my medical school requirements in the process without feeling like I am at a “stand still.”



I am looking for opinions and suggestions, given my situation, if there are more appealing or worthwhile alternatives that I am unaware of or may have overlooked.

Alternative suggestions for online university/programs are also welcomed, as well as comments and thoughts regarding the “help” or “harm” an online degree would potentially have on my application to medical schools in the future.

Thank you for your time.
