College Degrees

To get a degree in medicine:

If you mean in your question how long does it take to become a "doctor" or "physician" or have "Dr." in front of your name, well then it takes 4 years of college, and then 4 years of medical school. When you graduate you will be a medical physician.

To first be able to get a degree in medicine, you need to complete your GCSE at A-C in all subjects. Then you will need to take biology and chemistry at A level and AS level. Then you need to take the medical degree at a University. And then you have your degree. It will take you at least five years or more but it will be worth it! :D

Typically (in the US system, anyway), you must have a high school degree or GED. You can apply to college before you have actually received the degree as long as you expect to have the degree before the college courses would start. Typically in that situation, your admission would be conditional on proof of high school degree completion. Once you have a high school degree (or expect to receive one soon), you can apply to college. There are a multitude of resources available on the web, at community centers, libraries or from high school guidance councilors to help you choose where to apply. Once you've picked where you want to apply, you get the application (many schools' applications are online, others still use paper), fill it out, send it in (usually with an application fee, high school transcript, and three letters of recommendation), and wait to hear back.

To get into more competitive colleges, you must have an exemplary high school record (grades, extracurriculars, etc). However, there are many less competitive institutions which accept nearly any student holding a high school diploma or GED.

Talk to your high school counselor, but in most cases you want to take a college preparatory program. Do not avoid classes because they seem hard. My suggestion would be 4 years of english, algebra, geometry and trig; 4 years of social studies/history (including geography), 2 years of foreign language, and biology, chemistry and physics. If you can take additional electives select music, art, etc. This will give you the classes needed to apply for almost any college. If you have a college in mind go on line or write or call them for their admissions requirements. Challenge yourself in high school as much as you can. Good Luck Do remember that even though you are trying to major in Psychology, unless it's a speciality school, then they aren't all too worried about what you want to major in as you will have to complete the general education portion first.

At present the minimum degree requirement for this field is a master's degree. However, this will change in the near future to a doctorate degree. The master's degree will take approximately two to three years to complete post bachelor's degree. provided the student takes the program as prescribed by the college or university.

Veterinary technicians are required (in most states) to have a 2 year degree in veterinary technology from an AVMA accredited veterinary technology program, to have passed the Veterinary Technician National Exam and a state exam in order to be credentialed. They are also generally required to attend a set number of continuing education courses each year to keep up with changes in veterinary medicine. Veterinary technicians are educated in veterinary anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, animal husbandry, surgical assisting, anesthesia, medical nursing, diagnostics such as radiology and ultrasonography, clinical pathology, parasitology, medical terminology and record keeping, biological collection and sample handling and preperation, etc. They can also specialize in areas such as emergency and critical care, internal medicine, anesthesia, dentistry, behavior and equine nursing.

The American Veterinary Medical Association maintains a list of accredited degree programs on their website: http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/vettech_programs.asp

the grade would be nothing because you have freind and I really do not know ask a smart guy at your school or your teacher. But I really do not know I think I have told you this already but who care if I don't know there are a lot of people who do know So please ask someone who dose know. Like a neard at your school. Not you. A neard.

That last statement was a test. LOL. 2.62 is between and B- and C+ (depending how you round it off) a good rule of thumb is to break the last 4 letter grades into 10 point blocks(A=90's, B= 80's, C=70's, D=60's) and changing this to fit what your school gives as official grades. If its a number grade with 60 being dead failing and 100 meaning you should be teaching the class then let a 4.0=95+ 3.0 =80 2.0 = 70 1.0=60 & 0.0= short bus(2.62 would be ~76) its not as accurate as the final grade but will get you in the ballpark. This is the fastest way to convert as a 2.0(70) is required to get degree's after high school.

Collages dealt with certificates and diplomas at higher education (university) level and universities dealt with degrees (Bachelors, Masters and Doctorates). These days colleges can offer degrees at the lower level (Bachelors) and univerisities continue to offer all of the degrees (and certificates and diplomas)

It depends on the type of masters degree (specialty), and the curriculum design particular to the institution offering the degree. In other words, a masters in general psychology, or behavioral science may run between 33 and 40 credits, a masters in school psychology may run 70 credits plus.

GPA's change in value depending on where you live. In the U.S., 2.0 is a C but depending on the college or prep school, it is not necessarily passing. 2.5 is usually a more realistic expectation.

Actually that grade sucks. You have to do better than a a C IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO COLLEGE. aT LEAST A 3 AND ABOVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE. CHECK OUT UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE THAT IS WHERE I WANT TO GO. IT IS A GREAT SCHOOL!

There are occasions where high school students attend colleges while still in high school. Some institutions have what are called bridge programs. The requirements are particular to the high school as well as the college or university. A student interested in such a program should make as appointment with their high school guidance counselor for the appropriate information.

The traditional route to becoming a public school teacher involves completing a bachelor's degree from a teacher education program and then obtaining a license. However, most States now offer alternative routes to licensure for those who have a college degree in other fields. Private school teachers do not have to be licensed but still need a bachelor's degree. A bachelor's degree may not be needed by preschool teachers and vocational education teachers, who need experience in their field rather than a specific degree. Education and training. Traditional education programs for kindergarten and elementary school teachers include courses designed specifically for those preparing to teach. These courses include mathematics, physical science, social science, music, art, and literature, as well as prescribed professional education courses, such as philosophy of education, psychology of learning, and teaching methods. Aspiring secondary school teachers most often major in the subject they plan to teach while also taking a program of study in teacher preparation. Many 4-year colleges require students to wait until their sophomore year before applying for admission to teacher education programs. To maintain their accreditation, teacher education programs are now required to include classes in the use of computers and other technologies. Most programs require students to perform a student-teaching internship. Teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Teacher Education Accreditation Council. Graduation from an accredited program is not necessary to become a teacher, but it may make fulfilling licensure requirements easier. Many States now offer professional development schools, which are partnerships between universities and elementary or secondary schools. Professional development schools merge theory with practice and allow the student to experience a year of teaching firsthand, under professional guidance. Students enter these 1-year programs after completion of their bachelor's degree. Licensure and certification. All 50 States and the District of Columbia require public school teachers to be licensed. Licensure is not required for teachers in most private schools. Usually licensure is granted by the State Board of Education or a licensure advisory committee. Teachers may be licensed to teach the early childhood grades (usually preschool through grade 3); the elementary grades (grades 1 through 6 or 8); the middle grades (grades 5 through 8); a secondary-education subject area (usually grades 7 through 12); or a special subject, such as reading or music (usually grades kindergarten through 12). Requirements for regular licenses to teach kindergarten through grade 12 vary by State. However, all States require general education teachers to have a bachelor's degree and to have completed an approved teacher training program with a prescribed number of subject and education credits, as well as supervised practice teaching. Some States also require technology training and the attainment of a minimum grade point average. A number of States require that teachers obtain a master's degree in education within a specified period after they begin teaching. Almost all States require applicants for a teacher's license to be tested for competency in basic skills, such as reading and writing, and in teaching. Almost all also require teachers to exhibit proficiency in their subject. Many school systems are presently moving toward implementing performance-based systems for licensure, which usually require teachers to demonstrate satisfactory teaching performance over an extended period in order to obtain a provisional license, in addition to passing an examination in their subject. Most States require teachers to complete a minimum number of hours of continuing education to renew their license. Many States have reciprocity agreements that make it easier for teachers licensed in one State to become licensed in another. Licensing requirements for preschool teachers also vary by State. Requirements for public preschool teachers are generally more stringent than those for private preschool teachers. Some States require a bachelor's degree in early childhood education, while others require an associate's degree, and still others require certification by a nationally recognized authority. The Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, the most common type of certification, requires a mix of classroom training and experience working with children, along with an independent assessment of the teacher's competence. Nearly all States now also offer alternative licensure programs for teachers who have a bachelor's degree in the subject they will teach, but who lack the necessary education courses required for a regular license. Many of these alternative licensure programs are designed to ease shortages of teachers of certain subjects, such as mathematics and science. Other programs provide teachers for urban and rural schools that have difficulty filling positions with teachers from traditional licensure programs. Alternative licensure programs are intended to attract people into teaching who do not fulfill traditional licensing standards, including recent college graduates who did not complete education programs and those changing from another career to teaching. In some programs, individuals begin teaching quickly under provisional licensure under the close supervision of experienced educators while taking education courses outside school hours. If they progress satisfactorily, they receive regular licensure after working for 1 or 2 years. In other programs, college graduates who do not meet licensure requirements take only those courses that they lack and then become licensed. This approach may take 1 or 2 semesters of full-time study. The coursework for alternative certification programs often leads to a master's degree. In extreme circumstances, when schools cannot attract enough qualified teachers to fill positions, States may issue emergency licenses to individuals who do not meet the requirements for a regular license that let them begin teaching immediately. In many States, vocational teachers have many of the same licensure requirements as other teachers. However, knowledge and experience in a particular field are important, so some States will license vocational education teachers without a bachelor's degree, provided they can demonstrate expertise in their field. A minimum number of hours in education courses may also be required. Private schools are generally exempt from meeting State licensing standards. For secondary school teacher jobs, they prefer candidates who have a bachelor's degree in the subject they intend to teach, or in childhood education for elementary school teachers. They seek candidates among recent college graduates as well as from those who have established careers in other fields. Other qualifications. In addition to being knowledgeable about the subjects they teach, teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand the students' educational and emotional needs. Teachers must be able to recognize and respond to individual and cultural differences in students and employ different teaching methods that will result in higher student achievement. They should be organized, dependable, patient, and creative. Teachers also must be able to work cooperatively and communicate effectively with other teachers, support staff, parents, and members of the community. Private schools associated with religious institutions also desire candidates who share the values that are important to the institution. Additional certifications and advancement. In some cases, teachers of kindergarten through high school may attain professional certification in order to demonstrate competency beyond that required for a license. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards offers a voluntary national certification. To become nationally certified, experienced teachers must prove their aptitude by compiling a portfolio showing their work in the classroom and by passing a written assessment and evaluation of their teaching knowledge. Currently, teachers may become certified in a variety of areas, on the basis of the age of the students and, in some cases, the subject taught. For example, teachers may obtain a certificate for teaching English language arts to early adolescents (aged 11 to 15), or they may become certified as early childhood generalists. All States recognize national certification, and many States and school districts provide special benefits to teachers who earn certification. Benefits typically include higher salaries and reimbursement for continuing education and certification fees. In addition, many States allow nationally certified teachers to carry a license from one State to another. With additional preparation, teachers may move into such positions as school librarians, reading specialists, instructional coordinators, or guidance counselors. Teachers may become administrators or supervisors, although the number of these positions is limited and competition for them can be intense. In some systems, highly qualified, experienced teachers can become senior or mentor teachers, with higher pay and additional responsibilities. They guide and assist less experienced teachers while keeping most of their own teaching responsibilities. Preschool teachers usually work their way up from assistant teacher, to teacher, to lead teacher-who may be responsible for the instruction of several classes-and, finally, to director of the center. Preschool teachers with a bachelor's degree frequently are qualified to teach kindergarten through grade 3 as well. Teaching at these higher grades often results in higher pay.

Most Community Colleges are two year institutions. The highest degree that they confer is the Associates degree. You most likely will need to attend a four year institution in order to work towards your Bachelors degree.

An Associates in Arts includes a well rounded general education curriculum usually designed to fulfill the first two year general cluster requirements of a four year institution. In general the curriculum would include, English, Social Science, Humanities, Math, Exact Sciences, along with the appropriate prerequisites needed for advanced course work that is particular to a specific field of study at the four year college or university.

Occupation Science is a very career oriented program of study that is particular to one field of study. For example, Physical Therapy Assistant, Occupational Therapy, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, the Engineering Technologies, etc. Therefore, this type of degree will have less general education courses and more professional phase courses that are specific to a career field.

It is not that one is better than the other; they are just different and particular to an individual's desired career path.

There are numerous accredited dental hygienist schools available throughout the world.While also being offered online, most dental hygienist online programs are bachelor's degree completion programs. They require prospective students to have earned an associate degree or certificate from an accredited program.

A postdoctoral degree is a degree earned after obtaining a doctorate where the doctorate is a prerequisite necessary to pursue the degree.

This is seen primarily with professional doctorates. For example, most dentists in the U.S. have a DDS degree, which stands for doctor of dental surgery. It is a professional doctorate, but there are at least two available postdoctoral degrees including a Ph.D., which is a research doctorate.

Another example is in law. Attorneys in the U.S. graduate law school with a Juris Doctorate, or JD. There are two available postdoctoral degrees. One is the LLM, and the second is the JSD (or SJD). The SJD is the equivalent of a Ph.D.

Put simply, sometimes a 'professional' doctorate is a prerequisite for obtaining a second 'research' doctorate.

You can, however, you may have to complete some prerequisite coursework if you have not done so already. Still, if this is your passion, then I would suggest you pursue it. You should create a vision for yourself, which is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. Once you have this your path will become clear.
