Hi Folks,

I'd like to go back to College to work towards a Bachelor's Degree in History or Literature. I recently tried some mathematics courses at OSU-OKC with an eye towards advancing to some Engineering courses (which might, one day, be good for my career) but I found that I just don't have an interest in math, at least not at this point. I've been out of the game for a long time: learning to be disciplined and study properly, particularly a subject that doesn't really interest me, has been difficult. Perhaps if I began learning about things that genuinely interest me, and I develop good study habits, I can turn towards math/science/software. For now I find that History and Literature hold the most attraction for me.

I'm a middle-aged adult, with no obligations/encumbrances, a good income, free evenings and weekends, and my traveling days are, for the most part, over, at least for the foreseeable future, so my lifestyle is well-suited to my goal. I'd rather do on-line work, if I can. I'm close to OSU-OKC, OCCC, and I live about 15 minutes from Norman, and I'd like to choose from one of those three institutions (I do enough driving as it is: back and forth to work is 40 miles a day). I really don't have any college credits to speak of (although I spent a couple of years in training while in the military, and I understand that much of that can be concerted, which is something I need to explore).

I wouldn't even mind something like the University of Phoenix, although I'm told that it's not cost effective to take general courses at UoP. Cursory explorations of Online Universities suggests that their programs are created for career development, science, business, etc, rather than the arts.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
