I have 51 credit hours how do i get 60 to get an associate's degree?
I have been working in higher education for 26 years and have never been aware of associate degrees where the state mandate was 90 credits to complete. The oldest two year institution in New Jersey was founded in 1933, and has always been 60 credits (at that time) to complete. There are colleges at present that require 60 credits, some states 62, and I know in New Jersey it is now 64. Now there are some programs of study at the associates level that require more than the state mandate, but they are usually in the allied health area, such as Nursing, Respiratory Care, Dental Hygiene, etc. Having to complete 90 credits would - in part - defeat the purpose of a two year institution.
What do you have to do to get your graduate degree?
Whether to pursue a masters degree or not is up to you. However, you might want to consider the following.
The MBA is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. It is a degree designed to give you the ability to develop your career to its fullest potential, at an accelerated pace. What will you get out of an MBA? Aside from a powerful life experience, the MBA degree should supply three main value propositions: Skills, Networks, and Brand. Skills These include the "hard skills" of economics, finance, marketing, operations, management, and accounting, as well as the "soft skills " of leadership, teamwork, ethics, and communication that are so critical for effective management. MBA students acquire these skills inside and outside the classroom. Since MBA programs attract people from very diverse industries and cultures, a program should be able to leverage these differences and translate them into learning opportunities. Networks An MBA degree program offers access to a network of MBA students, alumni, faculty, and business and community leaders. This network can be very useful when beginning a job search, developing a career path, building business relationships in your current career, or pursuing expertise outside your current field. For example, entrepreneurs need access to capital, business partners, vendors, and clients. Arts-related businesses need access to funding and strategic management in order to position themselves to be relevant in the marketplace. Global businesses need access to local business cultures as they expand their enterprises to new territories. Brand The MBA degree is a recognized brand that signifies management and leadership training. The particular school and type of MBA program you attend also have brand associations that can help open doors based on the school's reputation. The strength of a school's brand is based on the program's history, its ability to provide students with technical skills and opportunities for personal growth, and the reach of its alumni and industry network. A powerful brand can give you the flexibility to make changes throughout your career. Source: http://www.wharton.upenn.edu/mba/admissions/decision/why.cfm
How many credit hours is 6 semester hours?
There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions.

What is the cost to complete the education for a firefighter?
The cost for training to become a firefighter will depend on what type of fire department you will work for. If it is a volunteer department, training is always free. Otherwise if you will be a salaried firefighter, training can cost several thousand dollars.
Is it possible to receive a Master's in Sociology if my Bachelor's is in Communication?
Yes, however typically you will have to go for a bachelors degree first. But there are a few known exceptions to the traditional education paths. It really depends on the schools acceptance of the associates degree to pursue the masters.
How a teachers define education?
Education is the methodical transference of civilizational values to someone who hasn't yet knew them or properly has comprehended and understood these values. Teaching is a process of passing explained information on given subjects or disciplines that are worldwide accepted as valid and not contested. In the first case, the values transferred to the pupil belong to a given culture, a particular civilization, despite education should include notions on other different cultures or countries other than the pupil's. So, it may receive several sorts of education, such as moral and civic education, religious education, historical education, art education, craftsmanship education, ethics, urban education, sociology and social behavior, and so forth. In the later case, all the information taught belongs to the universe of giving pupils the chance of developing skills for life in society and for professional activities. Therefore, in this case, are the languages, the sciences (mathematics, geography, biology, etc.), and professionalizing instruction. Despite education and teaching should be considered different notions, they are, indeed, complementary. The traditional thought is that education should be given to children at home, by their parents. However, there are plenty of families with children whose parents are not enough educated to meet the task. So, as a matter of fact, when a new child - most precisely, a new pupil - arrives school, this so-called "teaching establishment" should have a panel of specialists (a doctor, a psychologist, a teacher, etc.) available to go to this newcomer's dwelling and have interviews with its parents, in order to evaluate if that new pupil would need to attend an Education Course (and at which levels it would be done) or only to attend normal Teaching Course, and this should include, in fact, if possible, its poorly edducated parents, as well. In many countries, governments - especially tyranies - treat both terms - education and teaching - as if they were the same thing, synonyms, as they're actually not interested for their people's better education. There are grave consequences from this behavior. The worst of them is that it makes feasible to these tyrants promoting a sort of 'brain wash' or 'biased education' mixed up with normal or instructional teaching. Both courses, educational and instructional, must be attended concomitantly, in the sake of an optimized citizenship formation. Please, keep me abreast of eventual objections of your to these thoughts. Thanks.
If you took physics in high school do you have to take it in college also to become a chiropractor?
Yes you will have to take all prescribed courses at the college level, even though you have taken those areas at the high school level. The college coursework will be at a more advanced level. As far as the training and education needed to become a chiropractor, read the following carefully and follow through on the link provided. It will give you valuable information about the field.
Chiropractors must be licensed, which requires 2 to 4 years of undergraduate education, the completion of a 4-year chiropractic college course, and passing scores on national and State examinations.
Education and training. In 2007, 16 chiropractic programs and 2 chiropractic institutions in the United States were accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education. Applicants must have at least 90 semester hours of undergraduate study leading toward a bachelor's degree, including courses in English, the social sciences or humanities, organic and inorganic chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology. Many applicants have a bachelor's degree, which may eventually become the minimum entry requirement. Several chiropractic colleges offer prechiropractic study, as well as a bachelor's degree program. Recognition of prechiropractic education offered by chiropractic colleges varies among the States.
Chiropractic programs require a minimum of 4,200 hours of combined classroom, laboratory, and clinical experience. During the first 2 years, most chiropractic programs emphasize classroom and laboratory work in sciences such as anatomy, physiology, public health, microbiology, pathology, and biochemistry. The last 2 years focus on courses in manipulation and spinal adjustment and provide clinical experience in physical and laboratory diagnosis, neurology, orthopedics, geriatrics, physiotherapy, and nutrition. Chiropractic programs and institutions grant the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic.
Chiropractic colleges also offer postdoctoral training in orthopedics, neurology, sports injuries, nutrition, rehabilitation, radiology, industrial consulting, family practice, pediatrics, and applied chiropractic sciences. Once such training is complete, chiropractors may take specialty exams leading to "diplomate" status in a given specialty. Exams are administered by specialty chiropractic associations.
Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia regulate the practice of chiropractic and grant licenses to chiropractors who meet the educational and examination requirements established by the State. Chiropractors can practice only in States where they are licensed. Some States have agreements permitting chiropractors licensed in one State to obtain a license in another without further examination, provided that their educational, examination, and practice credentials meet State specifications.
Most State licensing boards require at least 2 years of undergraduate education, but an increasing number are requiring a 4-year bachelor's degree. All boards require the completion of a 4-year program at an accredited chiropractic college leading to the Doctor of Chiropractic degree.
For licensure, most State boards recognize either all or part of the four-part test administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. State examinations may supplement the National Board tests, depending on State requirements. All States except New Jersey require the completion of a specified number of hours of continuing education each year in order to maintain licensure. Chiropractic associations and accredited chiropractic programs and institutions offer continuing education programs.
Other qualifications. Chiropractic requires keen observation to detect physical abnormalities. It also takes considerable manual dexterity, but not unusual strength or endurance, to perform adjustments. Chiropractors should be able to work independently and handle responsibility. As in other health-related occupations, empathy, understanding, and the desire to help others are good qualities for dealing effectively with patients.
Advancement. Newly licensed chiropractors can set up a new practice, purchase an established one, or enter into partnership with an established practitioner. They also may take a salaried position with an established chiropractor, a group practice, or a health care facility

What is the highest degree you can get in veterinary?
The highest degree a veterinarian can get is a doctorate which is required to be a veterinarian. Read the below according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Veterinarians must obtain a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and a State license. Admission to veterinary school is competitive.
Education and training. Prospective veterinarians must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. There are 28 colleges in 26 States that meet accreditation standards set by the Council on Education of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
The prerequisites for admission to veterinary programs vary. Many programs do not require a bachelor's degree for entrance, but all require a significant number of credit hours-ranging from 45 to 90 semester hours-at the undergraduate level. However, most of the students admitted have completed an undergraduate program and earned a bachelor's degree. Applicants without a degree face a difficult task in gaining admittance.
Preveterinary courses should emphasize the sciences. Veterinary medical colleges typically require applicants to have taken classes in organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, biochemistry, general biology, animal biology, animal nutrition, genetics, vertebrate embryology, cellular biology, microbiology, zoology, and systemic physiology. Some programs require calculus; some require only statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, or pre-calculus. Most veterinary medical colleges also require some courses in English or literature, other humanities, and the social sciences. Increasingly, courses in general business management and career development have become a standard part of the curriculum to teach new graduates how to effectively run a practice.
In addition to satisfying preveterinary course requirements, applicants must submit test scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), the Veterinary College Admission Test (VCAT), or the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), depending on the preference of the college to which they are applying. Currently, 22 schools require the GRE, 4 require the VCAT, and 2 accept the MCAT.
Admission to veterinary school is competitive. The number of accredited veterinary colleges has remained largely the same since 1983, but the number of applicants has risen significantly. Only about 1 in 3 applicants was accepted in 2007.

How long does it take to earn a masters degree in fire science?
It depends on the program of study, whether the individual is full-time or part-time, the credit load carried per semester, the sequential order of courses and the students alignment to them, etc. Typically, a masters can take between, two and three years to complete. Still, there are some programs of study at this level that can take a bit longer.
How many years of college to become a veterinarian's assistant?
Veterinary assisting is an entry-level position and there is no general requirement for certification or education. There are voluntary education programs for veterinary assistants that range from a few weeks to a year, but the value of these is variable and most veterinary employers train their assistants on the job.
What colleges will accept a high school diploma from PennFord High School?
Answer 1: Penn-Foster High School is "regionally" accredited. Therefore, any and all colleges and universities in the US will happily accept its high school diploma, just exactly the same as if you had obtained the diploma from your local regionally-accredited neighborhood high school.
"Regional" accreditation, by an agency approved by the US Department of Education (USDE) (which is the kind of accreditation which both Penn-Foster High School, and your local neighborhood high school, have) ensures that alll colleges will view both high school diplomas exactly the same... and will accept either, equally.
What college courses are needed to become a stock broker?
You do not always need a degree to become a stock broker. As a matter of fact, some high school dropouts have become stock brokers. That said, most brokerages will look for certain classes on resumes. These may include but are not limited to financing, business major, or math.
Some people happen to have a knack for math, financing, and stocks. However this is not recommended to be something you rely on.
These courses look good on applications and may prepare you for a career in the financial sector.
Good luck and best wishes,
Jake.
It depends on the type of associates degree and the specific program of study. There are degrees at the associate level that are referred to as transfer programs and will be accepted full faith in credit at four year colleges and universities. Many individuals take advantage of the community college system for a variety of reasons. Still, there are some programs of study that are typically terminal degrees, that are very career oriented and designed to give a student all the expertise necessary to enter the workforce immediately after completion of the degree. Always meet with the transfer counselor at the school you attend for detailed information. Read the following for the differences in associate degrees. This should help.
What is the difference between Associates of Arts, Associates of Science, and Associates of Applied Science?
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.
Do you need a master degree to get a PhD in Accounting?
It depends on the subject and degree programs offered by each university. Some programs allow one to move directly from a bachlors degree into a doctorate program while others require a masters degree first.
What college degrees offer credit for work experience?
Credit for life experience is given by some institutions, however there are not many that are willing to do the evaluation themselves. You would have to check with individual colleges and universities of interest.
I can give you one lead. Thomas A. Edison College in Trenton New Jersey evaluates life experience and awards credit for that experience. After it appears on their transcript, you can then transfer those credits to other institutions if the institutions accept them, or finish the degree through Thomas A. Edison. It is a distance-education college, so no on-campus work is necessary. This means you can be anywhere in the country and finish the degree through them. It's up to you. The college has regional accreditation, which means the coursework and degree may be recognized by other colleges and universities as well as employers. (Decisions on transfer of credits are always made by the accepting institution, which may or may not consider accreditation.)
Three other institutions that, at no cost, will evaluate your work experience for course-equivalent credit, are Globe University, Minnesota School of Business and Broadview University. They are nationally accredited by ACICS, an organization approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and also offer online degree programs as well as traditional.
I must warn you though, evaluation of life experience may run into some money, and there is a lot of documentation with authoritative validation that is going to be required from the appropriate sources. Meaning it's not going to be easy, nor cheap. The number of credits a college will apply to your degree will also depend on what your life experience is in, and the specific program of study you intend to pursue. Whichever college or university you choose, just make sure the school is accredited by an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
What courses should you take in high school if you want to study biology in college?
First, make sure you are in a college prep program. You should develop a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, higher level maths, communication (written and oral), and the development of good critical thinking skills.

Level 11 is reached when you take them all at the same time.
Can you get your master's degree with a GED?
Absolutely! My undergraduate work is in psychology, but my masters is in organizational management. If you do not have the appropriate prerequisites for the masters program of your choice, you may have to complete them at the undergraduate level if you have not already done so. Still, some graduate work may not have prerequisites. Thus, you can choose a masters within a different field than your bachelors work.
What classes do you need to take your freshman year in college?
Some are as indicated below are typical, but their are many other options.
English Composition
English Literature
Social Science (General Psychology Sociology etc.)
Math (Level depends on the major)
Exact Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics depending on major)
Humanities ( covers a wide range, fine arts, Literature etc.)
History
Interdisciplinary courses
Other Electives
The above is just a general idea. Colleges and universities offer a very wide range of courses.
How old would you be when you get your PhD?
There are some individuals who have achieved this, however, it is rare. Remember, it takes four years for the bachelor's degree and an additional four years for the PhD, depending on the specialty. Thus, a total of eight years provided all goes well.

How long is the schooling for an RN?
The three major educational paths to registered nursing are a bachelor's degree, an associate degree, and a diploma from an approved nursing program. Nurses most commonly enter the occupation by completing an associate degree or bachelor's degree program. Individuals then must complete a national licensing examination in order to obtain a nursing license. Further training or education can qualify nurses to work in specialty areas, and may help improve advancement opportunities.
Education and training. There are three major educational paths to registered nursing-a bachelor's of science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and a diploma. BSN programs, offered by colleges and universities, take about 4 years to complete. In 2006, 709 nursing programs offered degrees at the bachelor's level. ADN programs, offered by community and junior colleges, take about 2 to 3 years to complete. About 850 RN programs granted associate degrees. Diploma programs, administered in hospitals, last about 3 years. Only about 70 programs offered diplomas. Generally, licensed graduates of any of the three types of educational programs qualify for entry-level positions.
Many RNs with an ADN or diploma later enter bachelor's programs to prepare for a broader scope of nursing practice. Often, they can find an entry-level position and then take advantage of tuition reimbursement benefits to work toward a BSN by completing an RN-to-BSN program. In 2006, there were 629 RN-to-BSN programs in the United States. Accelerated master's degree in nursing (MSN) programs also are available by combining 1 year of an accelerated BSN program with 2 years of graduate study. In 2006, there were 149 RN-to-MSN programs.
Accelerated BSN programs also are available for individuals who have a bachelor's or higher degree in another field and who are interested in moving into nursing. In 2006, 197 of these programs were available. Accelerated BSN programs last 12 to 18 months and provide the fastest route to a BSN for individuals who already hold a degree. MSN programs also are available for individuals who hold a bachelor's or higher degree in another field.
Individuals considering nursing should carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of enrolling in a BSN or MSN program because, if they do, their advancement opportunities usually are broader. In fact, some career paths are open only to nurses with a bachelor's or master's degree. A bachelor's degree often is necessary for administrative positions and is a prerequisite for admission to graduate nursing programs in research, consulting, and teaching, and all four advanced practice nursing specialties-clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners. Individuals who complete a bachelor's receive more training in areas such as communication, leadership, and critical thinking, all of which are becoming more important as nursing care becomes more complex. Additionally, bachelor's degree programs offer more clinical experience in nonhospital settings. Education beyond a bachelor's degree can also help students looking to enter certain fields or increase advancement opportunities. In 2006, 448 nursing schools offered master's degrees, 108 offered doctoral degrees, and 58 offered accelerated BSN-to-doctoral programs.
All four advanced practice nursing specialties require at least a master's degree. Most programs include about 2 years of full-time study and require a BSN degree for entry; some programs require at least 1 to 2 years of clinical experience as an RN for admission. In 2006, there were 342 master's and post-master's programs offered for nurse practitioners, 230 master's and post-master's programs for clinical nurse specialists, 106 programs for nurse anesthetists, and 39 programs for nurse-midwives.
All nursing education programs include classroom instruction and supervised clinical experience in hospitals and other health care facilities. Students take courses in anatomy, physiology, microbiology, chemistry, nutrition, psychology and other behavioral sciences, and nursing. Coursework also includes the liberal arts for ADN and BSN students.
Supervised clinical experience is provided in hospital departments such as pediatrics, psychiatry, maternity, and surgery. A growing number of programs include clinical experience in nursing care facilities, public health departments, home health agencies, and ambulatory clinics.
Licensure and certification. In all States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, students must graduate from an approved nursing program and pass a national licensing examination, known as the NCLEX-RN, in order to obtain a nursing license. Nurses may be licensed in more than one State, either by examination or by the endorsement of a license issued by another State. The Nurse Licensure Compact Agreement allows a nurse who is licensed and permanently resides in one of the member States to practice in the other member States without obtaining additional licensure. In 2006, 20 states were members of the Compact, while 2 more were pending membership. All States require periodic renewal of licenses, which may require continuing education.
Certification is common, and sometimes required, for the four advanced practice nursing specialties-clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists, nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners. Upon completion of their educational programs, most advanced practice nurses become nationally certified in their area of specialty. Certification also is available in specialty areas for all nurses. In some States, certification in a specialty is required in order to practice that specialty.
Foreign-educated and foreign-born nurses wishing to work in the United States must obtain a work visa. To obtain the visa, nurses must undergo a federal screening program to ensure that their education and licensure are comparable to that of a U.S. educated nurse, that they have proficiency in written and spoken English, and that they have passed either the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) Qualifying Examination or the NCLEX-RN. CGFNS administers the VisaScreen Program. (The Commission is an immigration-neutral, nonprofit organization that is recognized internationally as an authority on credentials evaluation in the health care field.) Nurses educated in Australia, Canada (except Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, or foreign-born nurses who were educated in the United States, are exempt from the language proficiency testing. In addition to these national requirements, foreign-born nurses must obtain state licensure in order to practice in the United States. Each State has its own requirements for licensure.
Other qualifications. Nurses should be caring, sympathetic, responsible, and detail oriented. They must be able to direct or supervise others, correctly assess patients' conditions, and determine when consultation is required. They need emotional stability to cope with human suffering, emergencies, and other stresses.
Advancement. Some RNs start their careers as licensed practical nurses or nursing aides, and then go back to school to receive their RN degree. Most RNs begin as staff nurses in hospitals, and with experience and good performance often move to other settings or are promoted to more responsible positions. In management, nurses can advance from assistant unit manger or head nurse to more senior-level administrative roles of assistant director, director, vice president, or chief nurse. Increasingly, management-level nursing positions require a graduate or an advanced degree in nursing or health services administration. Administrative positions require leadership, communication and negotiation skills, and good judgment.
Some nurses move into the business side of health care. Their nursing expertise and experience on a health care team equip them to manage ambulatory, acute, home-based, and chronic care. Employers-including hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and managed care organizations, among others-need RNs for health planning and development, marketing, consulting, policy development, and quality assurance. Other nurses work as college and university faculty or conduct research.

Honestly, it depends what your major is. If youre a freshman, a 2.5 is considered average..since your just getting settled in and all that stuff. If youre in a challenging major, a 2.5 isn't bad. If youre looking to do something after college, grad school, medical school, etc, then a 2.5 is a problem. Graduate programs almost always want a 3.0, and medical schools want a 3.3 and higher. If you are just getting a diploma, chances are your employer wont pay much attention to your gpa.
