In lieu of getting a post-graduate degree, I am embarking on a journey of self-study. I’ll write a blog post about why I am choosing this route later.
My interests in self study may seem broad at first glance. It will become more apparent as I share more of my journey and vision. I will be researching topics in marketing, business law, non-profit, social services and psychology.
I’m taking this one semester at a time, rather than planning the full thing out in advance. I’ll continue to update these pages as my self-study journey progresses. You can click on each of the course titles to see my approach to study for that particular class.

Strategy for Curriculum Selection:
- Research degree programs from some of the top schools & identify courses that I should be taking based on my long-term goals.
- Determine if there are courses available online that I can leverage from sources such as MITOpenCourseware or edX.org.
- If so, explore those courses and determine if it’s the right fit based on content available.
- If not, research any online syllabi posted related to those identified courses. I look for reading lists, assigments, topics, exams, etc.
- Supplement these sources with the following: interviews with current thought leaders and experienced professionals in the area of study, watch interviews/speeches on the topic of interest and seek out hands-on experience in the subject when appropriate through mini-internships.
