I&#8217;ve researched this, but am having some trouble finding the info I need, so I&#8217;m hoping you can help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the mid-90s, I dropped out of college with a little more than 60 credits earned in order to take a once-in-a-lifetime job. It turned out to be the right decision, as that started me on a path to professional success. Twenty years later, I&#8217;m lucky to have an extremely strong resume and unquestionably strong experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A few life changes have led me to want to go back to school to get a Masters in Counseling or a similar field.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard that there are some schools that will admit you to a program without undergrad if you have tremendous experience, and IMHO, I qualify.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is this true, and if so, can someone point me in the right direction on specific schools to speak with? I&#8217;m open to online, but would prefer something in or near to Chicago.
