The particular tools I used were from University College and its student/self designed degree programs. This program allowed me the flexibility to study course from three colleges at the same time without having to "major" from any one of them.

Actually, I didn't really see much of that, though toward the end I was an online student, primarily. I already had a job with a career path in a major corporation, so I didn't really think about it much either.

University of Memphis is more of a 'commuter' school, so the culture may be more diverse and fractured than at some schools. In recent years I have the feeling that has improved though - they seem to be trying hard.
