Do colleges in California offer degrees?
Any California resident of at least 6 months can get a free education to any public California college as long as they are accepted into it.
California also has a program called ROP (Regional Occupational Program) that allows you to receive training in a particular vocation. This training can last anywhere from a few months to a little over a year. It is free as well, however you would receive a certificate not a diploma as it is not college.
What is the difference between jd or MBA?
It depends. Yes, I think, if you want to either: * Go into a consulting or investment banking career; something that requires high levels of problem solving, issue spotting, etc. * Go into a business-oriented legal career - corporate attorney, securities, transactional work, etc. * waste a lot of time and money figuring out what you want to do. I think you shouldn't if: * you think it'll represent a golden key to the world (you still have to scrap for a job when you're done). * you want to start a life anytime soon (it's at least a 4 year commitment). * you're lazy or tend to procrastinate. Hope this helps. It probably doesn't. Every person is unique and every person has different strengths/weaknesses/needs/wants/DNA.

Yes. NationsUniversity is a distance institution. Students are required to complete significant reading assignments and demonstrate learning through quizzes, written assignments, and proctored exams.

It is however as of July 2013 not accredited by a Department of Education recognized accrediting agency. They are pursuing DETC accreditation.
What is the highest degree in college?
A Bachelor's Degree. Masters/Doct. are considered Graduate level. Now which is 'higher' a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Art? That's highly debateable. I argue that the most lucrative jobs come from a Bachelor of Science - but there is a strong argument for the contrary.
How many years does it take to graduate from college with a masters in embryology?
The minimum education requirement for embryologist's is a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in embryology, microbiology or biochemistry with some background in genetics. Those who have a bachelor's degree are qualified to work as laboratory assistants or technicians. A master's (additional 2 years depending on course load) or PhD (additional 4 years from a bachelors depending on course load) is usually required for senior research positions. Those with a PhD may continue their training as post-doctoral fellows.
Do you automatically have an associate's degree after two years of college?

How much do you get paid for a master's degree?
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.
Which one is higher a master's degree or a doctorate degree?
In general, no. First off, a PhD student can generally snag some sort of assistantship to pay for tuition and survival while in school. It's also important to realize that someone with a doctorate is not generally expected to be all that practical, with years of experience on the factory floor. Firms that hire PhD's are expecting scholars, not grizzled old hands.
It's also important to note that a doctorate does not necessarily step up your income as would, say, a bachelor's degree or perhaps a master's. The only place you can predict a higher salary or greater responsibility with an advanced degree is in government work--teaching or administrative. There are a good many fields where a doctorate is a distinct disadvantage.
Therefore, go for a doctorate if you love the field and/or want to teach. It is one of those accomplishments that is very much its own reward; you probably won't make as much money as you would if you'd started selling swimming pools after high-school graduation. That said, scholarship is an intensely rewarding activity that can really change the way you look at the world.
In many fields, getting a master's first and then working for a while is preferable, even if only for a year, even if your employer won't pay for your doctorate. Often, employers are hesitant to hire someone with too much academic experience and not enough workplace experience, so it may behoove you to get some work experience first.
Degree doesn't guarantee salary. However, to answer your question, many Universities pay graduate students for work, including tuition and fees, and 20 hours per week of lab work or teaching. Going the other route, working while getting your Ph.D., is not a bad idea, but it would likely take far longer to finish. I'd suggest focusing on the Ph.D. alone, especially since writing a dissertation is time consuming.
I think this is very individual. A learner has to fit their life situation itno their life. There are many jobs that will pay tuition to university and experience can not hurt you. Can you afford to go on without assistance?
Yes it is easy to get a doctorate as all you have to do is write a thesis (some where along the lines of a large book). After all Brian May got a doctorate in astrophysics and that is the hardest subject in the world to do.
If you want to be a psychologist do you need a BA or BS in psychology?
A bachelor's degree in psychology is a BA, not a BS. There are graduate programs as well like the Masters degree. Doctorate degrees are divided into two: PhD and PsyD. The difference is that with a Ph.D a person can work in clinical work as well as academia. However with a PsyD the only work available is in the clinical field. The reason is that PhD students are involved in research, unlike the PsyD students.You can have a BS in psychology. It's a Bachelor's of Science. In order to have a BS in psychology your major would be Psychology but you would have to minor in a math or science. I would have to say a BS is better.
How many semester hours is a minor degree?
A minor is not a degree. A minor is a specific program of study that some students choose to take within their degree. For example, a bachelor of arts in communication, with a minor in Spanish. The bachelor's degree can take between 120 to 128 credits to complete depending on the college or university and the specific program of study (major). The minor program could take 18 or more credits to complete depending on the program and would have to fit into the 120 to 128 credits for the degree.
How do you calcuate the number of semester hours you have?
You can calculate the semester hours you have as follows:
* Request an unofficial copy of your transcript from the Office of the Registrar. The transcript will indicate the total amount of credits accumulated. * Ask your academic adviser. They have the ability to do a quick look-see on their computer. * At the end of each semester, you receive a copy of your grades. Look at the bottom. You will find the total amount of credits registered for that semester, and your cumulative total.

In the US how many years do you need to go to school to become a certified paramedic?
First, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a track, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.
While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.
- Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
- Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
- Physics
- Communication (written and oral)
- Higher level math's
- Computer literacy
- Development of good critical thinking skills.
The above would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the degree as prescribed by the college or university.

Can you double minor in college?
In principle, I suppose, but you ought to question if it's really worth it. Many entering undergraduates(me included) have this notion that they have to cover EVERYTHING during their undergraduate careers,and won't feel complete unless they have studied everything in engineering AND history. But it's notreally worth the effort, because it's not vocational training. Your primary mission is learning howto think, and that's really best accomplished by concentrating on one thing at a time, and studying it to an advanced level. Do that one thing well, get out of school, join the real world, thenimprove yourself by studying other things that interest you. If you're going on to graduate school,people won't be impressed by your quadruple major, either, because there you really are expected toconcentrate on a subject.
New AnswerWhile i agree with some of the things mentioned above, who am i to say what classes you should take. I personally majored in Finance with a minor in Psychology and have found that the minor seperates me from some of the other candidates and was told in several interviews that they liked the fact I had some backround in psychology.Furthermore yes I believe most colleges allow for a double major with a minor. My wife received a double degree with a minor.

What are the consequences of not having a college degree?
In today's world, there are so many computers, word processors and keyboards, if you don't have the skill to type, even using this answers.com website would be 'slow going'. Sending email would take a long time and would be tiring, since you would have to keep going back to check your spelling. Typing papers for school or work would take much longer, and most of today's higher paying jobs require you to be able to type at least 35 words a minute, just to get the job. This answer took me over 15 minutes to type, because I don't have 'skills'. Go on and take a class; you'll be glad you did.
Having typing skills definitely opens doors to your getting a higher level of job than otherwise. This is not just because you can pass the test, but you will be able to do your job in a more competent fashion. For most of us, spell check is a tool that helps our writing, so that part of life becomes less of a problem.

How do you answer the question 'where do you see yourself 5 years from now' in a job interview?
Where do you see yourself:
Here's what the resume advice company Resume Edge recommends as a sample answer to the question, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
In ten years, I endeavor to have refined my strategic and client relations skills. I intend to be a leading expert in estate planning. After having proven myself as a senior manager, I hope to help shape the strategic direction of estate planning services. I could do this in any number of official roles. The important thing is that I will continue contributing my abilities in a challenging and rewarding environment.
More advice:
- While it is not usually a good idea to try to be a Jim Carey in an interview, depending on how things have gone and who you are dealing with, you might inject a little humor here and ask: "When do you expect to be promoted?" ....or "When are you moving on?... This could easily break the ice. Seriously, you can easily respond that you have no idea as you have no idea what you are capable of so far, although you know it is a lot. Therefore, you want to make sure you are open and flexible to whatever opportunities present themselves. If you actually know what you want to be when you grow up, you could offer to conduct a seminar on how to actuate that.
- You know when you come to that common situation where someone asks you "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Yea you should call a person on that because that question is silly! You have no idea where you'll be in five years nor should you worry. I mean how depressing can that question actually be? If someone asked me that question five years ago I wouldn't have predicted my life to be like this nor would I have wanted to say my life would be like this, I'm not saying I'm unhappy with my life necessarily its just that in a span of five years a persons likes and dislikes change, the people around them either disappear, reappear, or show up for the first time. The things you once loved could become something you hate or vice versa. Aspirations change and feelings lose their magic. Yes you can say what you'd like to see happen in five years but I'm pretty sure it won't and five years from now when you look back on yourself answering that question you'll probably no longer want the same things. There's always hope but no definite so all you can do is live life like you have those five years to look back on...
- When an interviewer asks this question, they're asking where you see yourself within a company. They don't want to hear you say, "Well, in five years, I will be married to a handsome European man, touring the South Pacific in our yacht with a mai-tai in my hand." They want something like, "Well, that will depend on my individual performance and on the opportunities I'm presented with, but ideally, I will be..." Even if you're going, "Yeah, like I'll be here in 5 years..." act like you will be. They don't want to hear you saying you'll essentially use them to get where you want, and the minute the opportunity is presented jump ship.
- Some might think that you should not tell the interviewer that you want to move up the ladder of success, because they will fear that you might replace them or move on to another job. However, most would recommend that you answer with just the opposite: that you do want to be successful. A good manager wants his employees to be successful and grow in their careers because that benefits the whole company. If they don't want this, you don't want to work for them. As for the actual standards of success and specific career paths, they are very different for different people and different industries. It is most important to show that you do want to be successful.
- Think educationally-- higher degree? certification? Think leadership-- at least one step up from where you are at now.
- Think about what your goals in life are. Then think about what you are doing now. The answer will be somewhere in between, for example "I want to be the CEO of Microsoft and right now I'm studying towards a degree in computering engineering." In five years time the person would probably be "working with a decent computer company in a high position, looking to move on to greater things".
- Be ambitious but realistic. If you are applying for a job in the mail room in a large corporation, don't say you are gong to be CEO in 5 years; but try to find out before your interview where a mail room clerk might be promoted to.
- This is a tricky interview question and definitely something worth thinking about before hand. You should come across as being flexible with strong ideas of several directions you are interested in developing. You should be positive, confident and ambitious but not overly so. Don't say "I want to be doing your job"
Where will you be in five years?
This is a very common job interview question. Think carefully about your plans. Really answer it for yourself, Where do you see yourself in five years? Where do you hope to be?
The interviewer is looking to find out a few things with this question. First, are you the type of person who plans ahead and sets goals? You should be. Second, do your goals match those of the company and the position? Your goals need to fit the career path for the job. They don't want to lose you in a year or two.
