Higher Education (University +) - November 2007

Hello all,
I am considering pursuing my B.A in Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. Does anyone have a degree in this field? What is its value? I think it would be great to land a job with the Department of Defense, but what are the odds even with this degree? If that plan doesn't work out, what could one use this degree for? Can anyone shed some light?

I went to college years ago, and received a 2.47 GPA. I know this is low and does not reflect my abilities or intelligence. My life path has brought me to a point in life where I want to be a classroom teacher. In NH you need an undergraduate GPA of 2.5. If I take college courses at this point (and get A's) will that raise my GPA? I know it cannot alter my official GPA from my university,...but unofficially it should raise the overall gpa, shouldn't it?

Well, horses are my entire life and Olds college has been a dream since i was about 8. Anyways i realize now that maybe it's time to look into it. I understand it all except this "

"􀂄 All majors require a minimum of 160 hours of substantiated work experience in a
related horse operation other than one owned by the applicant’s family. However, for the
Horsemanship major, 80 of the 160 hours must be substantiated riding related work
experience. The work experience evaluation form must be completed by the employer/
employers and returned to Olds College prior to March 1st for Fall entry. (Forms will be
supplied by the Registrar’s offi ce after application to Olds College.)"

So, that's what i read. That means the only work experience i need is at a horse-related place?
If so, seriously what if in my tiny little town there isn't a place that would let me do experience there
Is it a must? Like even if I have everything else needed?
Yikes, i hope this makes sense and bear with me . I know my question is not so smart

For wildlife biology, conservation studies, animal science, etc.

I was thinking UCSD because on of it's colleges specialize in internships, and that would work well for me, maybe interning at the zoo or wild animal park. I want a career with CRES(Conservation and Reseach for Endangered Species) which would be at the Animal Park. So I was thinking definitely UCSD, but....

On the other hand, UCD has the exact major I was looking forward too, Wildlife Biology and Consevration Studies. When I looked at UCSD' majors, I didnt see that.

Which, statistically, is a better college? Which is the best for me and my plans and would have more opportunities for my career.

My teacher told me to write a 5 to 6 pages essay about Affluenza/ Consumption topic. Here is what she wrote:

You must begin by selecting a topical area within, or related to, the broader subject of affluenza/consumption.

Then, you must pose a “research question” appropriate to the topic.

Your assignment, however, is not to answer the question, but to conduct and write a literature review such as you would write if you were actually conducting the research and writing a journal article on your findings.

I dont get it~ what does she mean? Can any one give me an example?
I was thinking about the topic : how cosmetic affect human boday and enviroment. Is this one suit with the topci about affluenza/ consumption?

What step I need to do to write a literature review?? ~ I dont get it.

10 points for best answer. Dont write anything like " ask your professior"

Are the two career paths interchangeable at all?

I mean, theoretically, could a publicist eventually go into HR without earning a degree specifically in HR?

I am 37 right now and by the time I am done with my bachelors in legal studies I will be 3. I want to go to law school when I am done. I was an accountant, now I am a stay at home mom, but when my kids are older I would like to do asomething fulfilling and accounting is NOT it. I love law, family law specifically. I worry that I am too old to start. If I went for law back when I was younger I would have 10 years + experience in the fiel;d under my belt. Now I will start after 40 by the time I take the Bar and I am worried that I will be too old. What do you think?

Hey guys, here's my problem.

Should I stay in Texas for 2 years and attend a community college, then transferring to a university in Minnesota to finish up the final two years of college, or should I go straight to a Minnesota university when I graduate high school next year. It doesn't look like my parents will be able to help me pay tuition, so a community college would save me money.

Eventually, I definitely want to graduate from a university in Minnesota, it's just a matter of when. If I transfer after two years of school at a community college, I will have to spend a year in Minnesota before I enroll for a university so that I will not have to pay out of state tuition- which, needless to say, is crazy expensive.

If I go to Minnesota once I graduate, I would take the year off before I started college, taking time to get settled and gaining residency.

Which do you guys think is a better option? Saving money the first two years, or not interrupting college half way through?

I am currently a high school and I am exploring my options for college and I was thinking the other day that I love to fly. I am currently working on my Engineering Degree and Business Degree. I would love to do both but still undecided yet. But I was thinking that it would be great to fly and see other places while doing business or engineering. If anyone can please tell what field i would need to go in to and what company's i need to be looking for.
Thanks so much.

I wanted to know how great is the graduate school, University of Manoa, Hawaii in terms of academics. I will most likely do the chemistry or physics graduate path. I want to go to a good graduate school but nothing like the IVY leagues. I know you will succeed anywhere if you put on the highest effort and work. Students from that university please respond anyone else is welcome too if they know about it.

I am pretty sure I did everything for signing up for school through phoenix university. However now I am enrolled in Axia college of university of phoenix. I just assumed it was just a division of the school because it was so large. Then while browsing online, I came across some chats making me think that I am getting a degree from Axia and not UOP. What the heck. If I wanted to go to a college not a university I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices. Let me know ANYTHING please

Overall GPA 3.6

My GPA isn't stellar, not a perfect 4.0, but what are my chances? I know Harvard and Chicago b-schools would be a stretch (for anyone!), but what about Indiana, Minnesota, Yale,...?
