What is the difference between an Associates degree versus applied science?
The main difference between an associate in applied science degree and an associate in science degree is that an AAS degrees is intended for someone that plans to find a job as soon as they finish school in a specialized area of skill (e.g. welding, automotive, ndt, dental hygenist etc.) whereareas an AS degree in science is intended for those looking to go on to a four year university. What it boils down to is that with an AAS degree MOST of the technical or vocational courses will not transfer over to a four year degree but you will be able to find an entry level job in your area of concentration. Compare that to that an associate degree in science and it would be recommended to go to a four year university because most employers wont accept an AS degreee as a qualification. With an AAS degree some of the classes will transfer over to a four year university if you earn the degree at a community college instead of a vocational or private school. Its a myth that most AAS degree courses wont transfer because at most junior colleges a student still has to take a math, English, science, computer, and elective courses as a part of their respective program. Do your research and if you intend on getting an AAS degree I would recommend getting it at a junior college instead of those technical or vocational schools if your area of concentration is offered, and normally you will see a junior college is cheaper, provides 100% finanical aid if you qualify and at most technical or vocational schools the most you can get is a certificate whereas with an AAS degree will help you out in the long run.

What is the proper abbreviation for an associate's degree in social work?
Answer 1: Associates degrees come in three flavors: An Associate of Arts (AA), and an Associate of Science (AS), and an Associate of Applied Science (AAS). Stay away from the AAS degrees, though, because they typically contain much less "Lower Division General Education" (LDGE) than AA or AS degrees, and so are usually not as easily transferred into four-year bachelors degree programs. Always stick with the AA or AS degree!
In any case, a "Human Services" degree might be considered an "arts" degree at one school, but a "sciences" degree at another; so there's no predicting whether the "Human Services" degree would be an AA or AS... it would just depend on the school.
However, "Human Services" is quite often abbreviated as the obvious "HS." And so the likely abbreviations would be...
Associate of Arts in Human Services (AAHS)
...or...
Associate of Science in Human Services (ASHS)
...or at least something like that. But, seriously, it really does depend on how any given school does things. It's very difficult to declare, for certain, what the abbreviation would be for all schools. You would just have to contact the school, or look on its website, or in its catalog to see how it abbreviates an associates degree in human services.

What kind of job can you get with a BSIT degree?
You mean a BS in Information Technology? (It's usually not very artistic ;) My BS degree in Computer Information Systems included a lot of IT stuff. IT is very generalized. Most IT people I know wear many hats: setting up new computers; installing software; occasionally, some programming; administrative ("admin") tasks, like assigning and maintaining user permissions; coordinating system functions, such as EDI communications with the business systems. It can be very stressful, but, if you like holding a company's heart in your hand, it can be very rewarding.

The scope of both the programmes are the same. BTech was the designation of some three- and four-year programmes at some British universities in the 1960s and 1970s, but it is no longer used (via http://www.cs.york.ac.UK/admit/Differences.php ). Some Indian universities offer BTech programmes, but as such there is no difference between the scope of study in the BE or BTech programme. In Singapore, some universities offer part-time engineering programmes as BTech and the regular course as a BE programme.

BE. stands for Bachelor Of Engineering.
In some countries like Pakistan engineering coucels of country not accept BTECH engineers as Engineer,
AnswerIn late 70s and early 80s institutes offering Engineering with other degrees, called their engineering degree BE and institute offered only Engineering degrees called their degree as B.Tech. But in present scenario there is no difference.There is very little difference today,B Tech is said to be more skill and practical oriented study of Engineering and BE is knowledge and Theory based ,but since Industry Application skill is present in both currently it is just a choice BTech or BE,there is no major difference than approach to the study.Both have same value ,the importance is more on which University you complete the degree and percentage of passing.

Education Certification and License requirements of a psycologist?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the certification and licensure required for psychologists.
Licensure. Psychologists in a solo or group practice or those who offer any type of patient care-including clinical, counseling, and school psychologists-must meet certification or licensing requirements in all States and the District of Columbia. Licensing laws vary by State and by type of position and require licensed or certified psychologists to limit their practice to areas in which they have developed professional competence through training and experience. Clinical and counseling psychologists usually need a doctorate in psychology, an approved internship, and 1 to 2 years of professional experience. In addition, all States require that applicants pass an examination. Most State licensing boards administer a standardized test, and many supplement that with additional oral or essay questions. Some States require continuing education for renewal of the license.
The National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) awards the Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) designation, which recognizes professional competency in school psychology at a national, rather than State, level. Currently, 31 States recognize the NCSP and allow those with the certification to transfer credentials from one State to another without taking a new certification exam. In States that recognize the NCSP, the requirements for certification or licensure and those for the NCSP often are the same or similar. Requirements for the NCSP include the completion of 60 graduate semester hours in school psychology; a 1,200-hour internship, 600 hours of which must be completed in a school setting; and a passing score on the National School Psychology Examination.

How many years does it take to get done with your bachelor's degree for being a photographer?
A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 124 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 design to be a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study in the prescribed manner. The minimum full-time student registers for a credit load of 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 with the Masters and Doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
