What are the accreditation for Bible colleges seminary?
There are two accrediting agencies for Bible colleges that are recognized as legitimate by the U.S. government: The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) and The Transnational Association for Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS). A Bible college will primarily have one of these two accreditations, but may even be accredited by a regional association such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). At any rate, any accrediting agency should be recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, 16 hours of class contact time is equivalent to one credit for the semester. Thus, a three credit course is required to have 48 hours of class contact time for the semester. I am only going one semester
1 class a semester equals credit hours?
The number of credit hours per semester depends on the courses taken that semester. For a college or university that operates on a two semester academic year, 12 credits (semester or credit hours) is considered a minimum full time load. The average full-time load is 15 credits.
Each course in assigned credits based on the amount of classroom time per week. Most courses are three credit hours per semester, some are four, while others may be more. For a three credit course, it means the course meets for three hours of classroom time per week. For a four credit course it would meet four classroom hours per week, etc. For example, You can have a general psychology course that is three credits. It can meet 1 hr three times a week, 1 1/2 hrs twice a week, or 3 hrs and meet once a week. Thus, the credit hours determine the length of time the course meets per week.
Here is one possibility of a minimum full-time schedule for one semester:
English Composition - 3 credits
General Psychology - 3 credits
U.S. History I - 3 credits
General Biology - 4 credits
Total credit hours equals 13 for that semester. Typically, a semester is approximately 16 weeks.
For an associate degree (two year program of study), the number of credits required to graduate are approximately 60 - 64 depending on the state mandate and the particular program of study. For a bachelors degree (four year program of study), approximately 124 - 128 credits.

What degrees are offered at a community college?
Some CC's have now opened up 4yr programs. The norm was 2 years, for which you would receive an Associate's degree. Now, if the school offers a 4yr program, you may go on to earn your Bachelor's.
Associate degrees fall into three main areas.
- Associates of Arts (AA)
- Associates of Science (AS)
- Associates of Applied Science (AAS)
Each of the above degrees is designed to be completed after two years of study as a full-time student and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college. In addition, most every community college requires that every incoming student be placement tested before they register for their first semester (unless they fall into an exemption category). This test is not an admissions test and has no bearing on a student's acceptance to the college. In fact, most students have already been accepted to the school before they take the test. It is not a test that is passed or failed, but simply to determine whether an individual needs to take some refresher courses before entering college level coursework. This is to ensure the student has the appropriate basic skills to succeed at the college level.
The test is broken down into four parts; two parts English and two parts mathematics. The English includes grammar (sentence sense), and reading comprehension. The math includes computation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, fractions, square roots, and percentages), and the equivalent of a high school algebra I. If the student scores low in any these areas, then they will be required to enroll in the indicated remedial course/s starting with their first semester.Thus, the two year degree plan may turn into a two and a half year, or possibly a three year plan depending on how much remedial work is needed. To limit this time, students have the option to enroll in summer session courses.
Now let us look at the inherent differences between the degrees:
Associates of Arts (AA)
The Associates of arts is really designed as a fully transferable degree to a four year college or university for those pursing a Bachelors degree. It serves to complete most of the four year institutions general education cluster area, which amounts to the first two years of a four year program. It also serves to complete any perquisite courses needed for the four year institutions curriculum major and minor requirements. Students are admitted to Junior level status provided they have completed the matching associate's level degree. In other words, Business AA to Business BA, Engineering AS, to Engineering AS etc. Thus, within this degree students will be required to have a well rounded educational foundation to include, English literature, history, social science, laboratory science, humanities, math, communications, etc. These courses are in addition to the student's major field of study.
Associates of Science (AS)
Within the AS degrees a student will notice there are less general education requirements, and more career oriented course work. You will find this in curriculums to include, Nursing, Engineering, some Computer Science and Allied Heath fields. Still, these programs should be fully transferable to four year institutions provided the degree matches that of the four year college or university's program of study, as mentioned above under AA degrees.
Associates in Applied Science (AAS)
The AAS degrees are very career oriented and designed to give the student all the expertise needed for entry level positions upon completion of the degree. Therefore, the student will notice most of the AAS degree is made up of professional phase courses particular to a specific field, and a very limited number of general education courses. This has promoted the myth, that all AAS degrees are not transferable to four year colleges and universities. I will admit, as the degree was originally designed; transferability was not the original intent of this type of degree. Therefore many AAS degree fields of study did not transfer to four year institutions very well. In fact, in some categories it was almost like starting over. Today this is not so. Community Colleges today have what is known as Joint Admissions or Dual Admissions articulations with four year institutions, where if the student completes the agreed upon program of study successfully, the four year institution will take the degree full faith in credit and grant the student Junior level status. This includes AAS degrees. However, it is strongly recommended that a student who is seeking to transfer to a four year institution at a later date, make an appointment with a Transfer Counselor at the Community College for the pros and cons of AAS transfer as well as more detailed information.

Can you be navy reserves while a full time student?
Yes! And you have Navy pay for your college as you go to school. It's a beautiful set up. :) Check the links below also!
FROM navy.com:
There's no better way to accelerate your education than earning college credits while in the Navy. The Navy has a generous reimbursement program for Sailors who attend college during their free time, and the Navy brings instructors aboard ships while underway to help deployed Sailors keep up on their studies. In addition, the training the Navy gives you to do your job usually counts for college credits.
This means that if you decide to leave the Navy, you'll have part of your college requirements already out of the way - and if you've signed up for Navy scholarship programs and the G.I. Bill, you'll have money waiting to help you pay for the rest.
On the other hand, you can stay in the Navy and use the reimbursement programs to fund your graduate or postgraduate degree while still enlisted. And once you have your degree, you may be eligible for Officer Candidate School to continue your career as a commissioned officer.
The Navy College Program: Allows Sailors to earn credits for the training they receive in the Navy. There are many components to this program; visit the Navy College Program Web site for more details.
Tuition Assistance: Pays for up to 100 percent of the tuition for courses taken by Sailors on their own time (off-duty) at accredited institutions.
Naval Academy: Select sailors can obtain a full four-year scholarship to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Candidates must receive a nomination to attend the Academy from a senator or congressman and must undergo a demanding approval process. Competition is stiff, but those awarded this prestigious scholarship will have all expenses paid and will earn a bachelor's degree and a commission in the United States Navy upon graduation.
Officer Candidate School: If you're a college graduate, you may be eligible to attend Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island.

What is the average amount of time that it takes a full time student to earn a bachelor degree?
I work full time and it feels like it is taking forever to earn a degree. you can earn it fast at a for profit school like National American University or Rasmussen but you will paying almost three time more for school and the degree will not be a credible as a community college or state university.
I can only do on-line classes part time while I work full time. I wish I was fortunate enough to go to college right out of high school and attend full time. I do feel that going as an adult make my feel like I'm getting sharper in my every day life and I already have work experience so I will be ready for that promotion when I'm done with school. Bachelors degree could take up to 6 years to complete as a part time student but you cant even skip a single semester. I'm glad I don't have kids yet ! Good luck, it is worth it and dont expect you children to good to college if you didnt!
How many credits do you need to get advanced diploma?
It depends on the school. If you have the typical 64 credits (approximately) for the diploma and it takes about 130 credits for the bachelor degree then you are about half of the way there (another 2 years or so of study).
What classes are needed for associate's degree in arts and science?
An associates in science degree (AS) is a general degree type from which many specific programs of study (majors) fall. For example, an associates in science degree in engineering, nursing, occupational therapy, computer science, etc. Each major will have requirements particular to themselves.
What bachelor's degree do you need to become a doctor?
The bachelor's degree is a little less critical. I knew a doctor whose BA was in music.
AnswerI am going to assume by doctor, you are referring to a Medical Doctor. If this is so, then the bachelors degree can be in a number of areas and not specific to the exact sciences as the first contributer pointed out by the example of an MD whose Bachelors was in music. Medical schools also love candidates who are well grounded in the liberal arts area. Nonetheless, it would be advantageous to also make sure you are well grounded in the sciences. You can include these in many types of Bachelors degrees within the elective area. Some courses you should consider are as follows:
- Cell Biology
- Biology of the Organism
- Human Anatomy and Physiology I
- Human Anatomy and Physiology II
- Microbiology
- Inorganic, Organic and Biochemistry.
In addition, I would not automatically exclude a Bachelors degree in Biology. There are options within the Biology Majors that are designed to prepare students for Medical school. They are usually referred to as Pre-Med programs of study. I would also speak to Medical Doctors and ask what they did while pursing their career goals. I would not speak to just one, but at least three. If you have a family Doctor, this would be a good place to start. Sometimes you can pick up very good information that could be critical to your success. Lastly, contact some colleges or universities and speak to advisers whose areas of expertise lie within the Medical field. Make sure whatever college or university you decide on is fully accredited by the regional accreditation agency responsible for that particular geographical area.
If any person wants to make his/her future in teaching he/she can go for M.Tech. PTU affiliated colleges providing quality education in this region. You can put your query at http://www.admissionsnotices.com

What jobs can you get with an Associates Degree in Computer Science Technology?
You can write software. Or you can get a job at Initech going through thousands of lines of code changing 99 to 2000 in the dates. AAS in Computer Science Technology? The two-year MCSE? Quite a few people with that degree work in companies that sell, install and provide tech support for business computers--which means you get to drive to customer sites a lot. I think it beats sitting in a cubicle all day every day. The Initech guys had BSCS degrees.
How much does a person make with an MBA?
Salary is based on whatever someone is willing to pay you, and that is usually based on their perception of what you can accomplish for them. Salary, earning potential, and marketability are not only determined by the type of field you are in and the degree you possess. It depends on your position within that field, the institution you work for, your experience, expertise, personal abilities, critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, dedication and commitment toward ones work, and more. Thus, salary is not so much dependent on the type of degree as much as it is dependent on the person who holds the degree. Still, if you have a specific occupational title, you can then retrieve the estimated mean annual wage particular to that occupation.
Average length time to get your masters doing it part time?
A master's degree is usually about 2 years, so if you do it part-time it should take around 4 years.
What are the steps for a bachelor's degree?
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

How long does it take to get transferable college credits from a community college?
There is -generally speaking- no required amount of credits needed in order to apply to a four year college or university. However, the rule of thumb indicates thata four year college or university usually wants to see a good solid two semesters (30 collegecredits)of good work at a GPA particular to their school or program of study within their school. They - once again in general - do not want to see students who are still in the process of taking remedial courses that are requiredas a result ofBasic Skillstesting.I would recommend that you speak with the Transfer Counselor at the community college you are interested in, for more detailed information. I personally feel the community college is a great place to start. I started there, my family doctor started their, the president of our bank started there, as well as many successful individuals throughout all fields and occupations. So, do not be in too much of a hurry to leave the community college. You are much better offcompleting a transferable program of study at the two year school. A completed degree goes a long way when thinking about a four year school. It shows commitment, determination, perseverance, anda willingness and ability to succeed, etc. etc. - in other words a proven track record. Colleges and universities look for these indicators. Just remember to check with the Transfer Counselor at the two year school to ensure the program you a taking is indeed good for transfer. Also, ask the Counselorwhat specificarticulations the college has - including Joint Admissions programs, and Dual Admissions programs -with the four year institutions you are interested in.
