Associates Degrees

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.

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.

A master's degree is usually about 2 years, so if you do it part-time it should take around 4 years.

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.

No.

An AS (Associates of Science) or AA (Associates of Arts) are both two year college degrees, usually only offered by community colleges.

A GED is an approximate equivelent for a graduation from a high school.

(This answer is for United States education systems.)

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.

Pretty much all(or most) of them, the only ones that are the least writing intensive are the natural sciences as well as engineering. Computer science is also writing intensive in a sense that you have to write and edit code over and over again.

You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links below which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

Many colleges (especially community colleges) indicate 18 years of age or older, or has completed a high school education. The latter does not have an age requirement but simply completion of high school.

There are many options. Which is the better one for you depends on your specific career goals and objectives. So many individuals today take degrees without a specific goal in mind; a specific goal that is based on a passion for what they want to do. Then they wind up miserable in the studies, and miserable in their work because it just did not bring them to a place that satisfied their needs, wants, and desires in life. Acquire a vision for yourself; A clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. Once you acquire that vision your goal will be realized and your path will become clear.

In general, you study as long as it takes! If you have homework, that will count as studying, so do your work every day. If you don't have homework, use your notebook to go back over what the teacher gave you that day -- take as much time as you need to be sure that you really understand it, and you'll be done for the day.

If you do a bit of studying every day, your test scores will be better because you'll understand the material better and not have to try to "cram" right before a test.

It doesn't work that way. Your income will depend on the job you accept, the starting "pay band" (if applicable) and the region or country you're working in. Whether you have a degree or not, your wages will be significantly different depending on if you take a job at a hospital or as a clerk in a department store. ~ T

A bachelor's is not a requirement for a registered nurse (RN). Many individuals start with an associates degree. I would strongly suggest you stay away from a hospital diploma program. That being said, the higher the degree, the more opportunities that will be open to you.

For colleges and universities that operate on a regular two semester academic year, the minimum load for a full-time student is 12 credits (usually four courses). The average load is 15 credits (five course). Some students take 18 or 19 credits (six courses). This is an approximation because some courses can be four or five credits. Still, if it is the students first time in college, I always recommend a student takes the minimum full-time credit load for the first semester. After the student makes the adjustment into higher education, understands what is expected, the study involved (based on the intensity of the program), assimilation into peer groups, etc., then they can build up from there the next semester. It is better the start slow, and build up, rather than to overload ones self and wind up of either stopping out, or failing out. I can tell you this, the programs at MIT are going to be intensive, and you should be cautious and give yourself every advantage to succeed. Start slower (if the program allows), and build up from there.

No ... actually, there are 18 weeks - 3 six week periods.

To become an oncology nurse, you must have an RN license, meet specific eligibility criteria for nursing experience and specialty practice, and be able to pass a multiple-choice test and you must have at least four years of college and the right training.
