Higher Education (University +) - December 2007

Even if your program doesn't specifically call it an "Executive" MBA?

Also, do you think there is a huge benefit in adding an emphasis or focus to an MBA?

My parents are divorced and I'm estranged from my dad, so I don't know so much about him. My mom said she attended college but dropped out before earning her degree. Does that make me a first generation student? I know that some of the colleges I'm applying to takes this into consideration during their application process, but I don't want to say something without knowing what it means for sure and end up jeopardizing my chances and be considered "dishonest." Please help. And please tell me how sure you are of the answer.

Im having a problem in college now and I really want to do better in my 2nd semester so I was wondering what are some of things other people do to make the subjects they study more interesting, because school isnt hard by any means its just so damn boring that its hard to get motivated to do anything.

Nowadays you can get your doctrate online! My brother took online classes and when you take a test all you have to do is google the question and get an answer...I just don't think online degrees should be considered as good as in class degrees. Agree?

Hi, I just complete 4 year college (Liberal Arts and Sciences). I have received my Bachelors Degree. But.. my parents didn't think it was necessary to get me a Social Security # when we came to US.

Are there any jobs i can get with my college degree and no Social Security # or should i go back to my country and work there

I submit this petition to kindly consider my request to withdraw from the above courses taken for the following reasons:

This is the first semester for me in the United States and I had undergone a lot of suffering both in terms of cultural shock as well as severe home-sickness since I had never before been out of my home for such a long period. In addition, the sudden death of my grandmother and my helplessness to visit during her last days made me emotionally weak and this was the time when I had to appear for my class exams in which I performed low. I suffered a lot emotionally and was under severe depression because I am very attached to my grandmother with whom I grew until my high school. My deep depression during the semester made me lose my on campus job.
Initially it took me few weeks to adjust with the food, climate and my surroundings. As I was sick during my initial days of stay I could not have proper food and it took me time to understand the kind of living here. It was only in mid September that I found a good room for my living. Until then I had a temporary accommodation and hence it took me a long time to get accustomed to the situation. I had to take decisions by myself which was kind of perplexing for me.
My under graduation was in Electrical Department and I had been offered a CIS course in the Business School. In spite of my good efforts to score better in CIS, my academic performance was not satisfactory owing to the change in the subject. Initially, I visited Electrical department and requested Professor Fuqin Xiong for admission into Electrical Department but I was unable to secure an admission.

In a nutshell, a sudden academic, cultural and emotional shock have led to my poor performance and left with no other option than withdrawing from the courses I have taken.

In view of the above facts, I request you kindly allow me to withdraw from the current courses so that I can equip myself for the forthcoming semester.

I'm currently enrolled in a 2 year school to get my associate of arts... I'm aware of the fact that 2 year schools offer a degree to become an LPN, but I feel as though it's too late to go back and start the program seeing as though I'm almost finished with my general education degree. I was wondering if I would be able to transfer to a 4 year college and be accepted into their nursing program without a nursing background?

I want to go college for something in the medical field, but I'm not sure what exactly in the medical field. I always dreamed of becoming an R.N, but i am not really emotionally stable. I am looking for a job less tense than a RN, preferably free in the weekend. My friend suggested me lab work, and i do like Chemistry. I appreciate any suggestions. What kind of branches are there in lab work? Thanks in advance.

PS. I would also prefer for not such a long term of studying (max 4 years), since an international student tuition is way high.

I really have two questions I want answered, both of them related by the above question.

My first question:
Is a second master’s degree becoming co-requisite for a Master of Library Science? If yes, does anyone have (or could generate) a list of strong second degree options to compliment the MLS? I understand degrees in Law, History, Music, Business, and so on are strong options, but surely the list is longer? What about Literature?

My second question is, with a GPA near 3.5, a strong resume including regular volunteer/social work, internships, and so forth, and three ideal letters of reference (college dean, librarian, prof of world lit); what are my chances of getting into a good MLS program like the University of Illinois, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, or the University of Iowa? I am graduating with a BA in English Literature from Western Illinois University, a public school. I have around three years of work experiance as a Library Assistant.

I know a Law Degree is good for Fortune 500 companies, and you have to do Med School to be a doctor, and MBAs get you into wall street. Other than that, in factoring time, cost and experience, for what fields is a Masters Degree mandatory? I'm in Politics/International Affairs, and it is something I am working on right now.

So I am going to apply to a community college for a four year degree in Phonotics Engineering. I meet all of the admission requirements except for having taken Grade 12 math. The college offers a course to take this prerequisite for the program if I apply so I have no trouble applying even though I am good at math and know Calculus. The problem is that there will be a lot of people applying for the program and I'm afraid of getting in since I didn't take Grade 12 math back in high school. Any advice?
