Research and apply to area universities, online colleges and local community colleges that offer your desired program. Once you have found your desired course of study, it is important to remember not to settle on only one school. Apply to several schools that fit your needs to increase your chances of acceptance.
Contact counselors at the schools. He can help with financial aid as well as with choosing classes.
Attend your classes as scheduled, avoiding unnecessary absences. This will let your professor's know you are genuinely interested in the subject matter. Keep grades high by setting goals for yourself. Do not let your grades slip too low or you will be disqualified from your course of study due to lack of academic performance.
Intern with a company through your university. Most universities have job centers or career centers that help you gain additional education through hands-on training. The internship will count towards your required college credits and can be used on your resume.
Study nightly to ensure that you are more than familiar with your materials. You will be tested frequently when working towards your bachelor's degree. The testing may count for a larger percentage of your grade than daily classwork and participation, so be prepared.
