What is the least amount of credits you can take for one semester and stay enrolled?
If financial aid is not a concern, or there is not an issue that requires you to be full-time or taking a certain amount of credits or courses, then taking just one credit would do it.
The associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college, and provided the student does not require prerequisite coursework as a result of basic skills testing. There are some programs of study that may take a bit longer depending on the number of credits required. Usually these are programs within the health related fields. In addition, for students who require developmental course work as a result of basic skills testing, it would take longer. How much longer would depend on the extent of the developmental courses they are required to take. Evidently, those individuals who attend college on a part-time based would also extend their time in school. How much longer would depend on the credit load carried each semester. Typically, an associates degree takes between 60 and 64 credits to complete depending on the specific school, program of study, and state mandates.
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 do you go back to school while still supporting a family?
The great thing about college today is that no one has to go without it. Yes, it does take some sacrifice but the long term awards make it very worth while.
Most working adults maintain their current employment while going to school on a part-time basis. Some employers will even help with the cost of the tuition. If not there is always Financial Aid assistance in one form or another. For example, if you do not qualify for financial aid on a federal or state level, you can still apply for a guaranteed student loan. This kind of loan is usually at a lower interest rate, and you do not have to start paying it back until you have been out of school for six months. In addition, there may be some scholarships available to you. First apply for financial aid, then apply for a scholarship. Because of the many types of scholarships - even ones that are particular to the school you are applying to or registered at - you state on the application that you are applying for any scholarship you may be eligible for. The support staff within the Financial Aid Office will then match your qualifications to available scholarships. Also remember this; never assume you do not qualify for financial aid. Let them tell you do not qualify. Many individuals do not apply because they themselves feel they do not qualify, which could be off target. Also, make sure you apply early, and do it online, not through snail mail. Doing it online will give you much faster results. Ask the Financial Aid Office for information on how to apply online. Lastly, remember this also; in regards to scholarships, colleges will always run out of money before they run out of eligible candidates. So once again, apply early!
If your work limits or interferes with your required time on campus, most colleges and universities today offer online courses, and degrees you can work on from home. So, if you really wish to further your education, there is nothing to prevent you from doing so. I did it while supporting a family, so can you! Your biggest obstacle today is going to be putting it off until tomorrow. Procrastination is one of the biggest stealer of dreams. Do not let anything steal your own and your families dreams for a better life.

Common drawbacks in classical and neo classical theories of management?
1) Both theories were based on certain assumptions and in both cases assumptions were found unrealistic and not applicable to the organizations at a later date
2) Both theories had limited applicability and were not universal in their approach. With the changing times several other sectors had cropped up and dynamics and working conditions were changing, whereas both the theories were based primarily on manufacturing sector.
3) Though both the theories were based on human aspect and laid emphasis on it they failed to take into account all the aspects of the human behavior
4) Both the theories took a rigid and static view of the organization, whereas an organization is not static but dynamic
Many management Gurus believe that neo classical theory is just a slight extension of the classical theory with slight modifications and its bankrupt, because it suggests nothing new
Colleges and universities within the United States today, seldom equate overseas degrees to U.S. degrees as well as the credits taken there in. Most leave that decision making to official evaluation agencies. For example, the most widely used agency on the eastern coast is World Education Services located in New York.

What is the difference between a baccalaureate and a degree?
A baccalaureate is a more formal name for a "Bachelor's Degree." A baccalaureate degree is awarded after completing at least 120 credit hours of college coursework, usually done in four years. The first 60 hours being lower-division or general education courses and the last 60 or so consisting of upper-division classes that are generally more focused. An Associate degree is usually awarded by a community college and is essentially the first two years, or 60 hours of college. The intent is different for different people. If that is as far as you want to go in college, then this degree can be used for vocational type training, but will also open the door to attend a four-year school at some point as well. In order to go to graduate school though, a BA or BS is necessary.
