Do you have to have a degree to a physical therapy assistant?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for Physical Therapist Assistants and Aides.
Most physical therapy aides are trained on the job, while almost all physical therapist assistants earn an associate degree from an accredited physical therapist assistant program. Most States require licensing for physical therapist assistants.
Education and training. Employers typically require physical therapy aides to have a high school diploma. They are trained on the job, and most employers provide clinical on-the-job training.
In most States, physical therapist assistants are required by law to hold an associate degree. The American Physical Therapy Association's Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education accredits postsecondary physical therapy assistant programs. In 2009, there were 223 accredited programs, which usually last 2 years and culminate in an associate degree.
Programs are divided into academic coursework and hands-on clinical experience. Academic coursework includes algebra, English, anatomy and physiology, and psychology. Clinical work includes certifications in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other first aid, and field experience in treatment centers. Both educators and prospective employers view clinical experience as essential to ensuring that students understand the responsibilities of a physical therapist assistant.
Licensure. Licensing is not required to practice as a physical therapy aide. However, most States regulate physical therapist assistants through licensure, registration, or certification. Most States require physical therapist assistants to graduate from an accredited education program and pass the National Physical Therapy Exam. Some States may require physical therapy assistants to pass State exams. Many States also require continuing education credits for physical therapist assistants to maintain licensure. Complete information on regulations can be obtained from State licensing boards.
Other qualifications. Physical therapist assistants and aides should be well-organized, detail oriented, and caring. They should be able to take direction and work well in a team situation. They usually have strong interpersonal skills and a desire to help people in need.
Advancement. Some physical therapist aides advance to become therapist assistants after gaining experience and completing an accredited education program.
Some physical therapist assistants advance their knowledge and skills in a variety of clinical areas after graduation. The American Physical Therapy Association recognizes physical therapist assistants who have gained additional skills in geriatric, pediatric, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, integumentary, and cardiopulmonary physical therapy. Physical therapist assistants may also advance in non-clinical areas, like administrative positions. These positions might include organizing all the assistants in a large physical therapy organization or acting as the director for a specific department such as aquatic therapy. Physical therapist assistants may also pursue a career in teaching at an accredited physical therapist assistant academic program.

How can you make equivalent to a first class honours degree at a British university?
This is something fairly ambiguous placed in employment ads by employers (often municipal or government) who sometimes don't want to "narrow the field" too far in locating a candidate, because then they risk having no one apply, on account of the miriad of specifics required for a job. In many cases, they are looking for someone who has the basic qualifications and skills, but simply want a certain "quality" of individual that would actually possess a particular degree. For example: Someone who has a bachelor's degree may have a certain level of so called sophistication. Someone who has a masters degree, may have another level of sophistication or interpretation when it comes to a business decision. That is really what they are after, and that level can be achieved in a variety of ways through the term "equivalency". So what would be equivalent to a bachelor's degree for an employer? This can only be answered through scenarios, and the scenarios are endless. Equvalency could be (l) 90-100 college credit units, that placed you perhaps a semester or semester and a half short of graduation; (2) An AA degree plus another professional designation, that takes some degree of expertise to achieve, such as a certification in Risk Management, completion of a certificate program in Human Resources from a junior college, etc; (3) other combinations of professional designations. Sometimes, multiple AA degrees are considered equivalency, and sometimes they are not. It depends on the interviewer and number of candidates applying for a job. If an employer ultimately has his/her heart set on a bachelor's degree, no amount of applicants will change that until a resume appears with the desired degree. How often is someone hired with a bachelor's degree in a subject such as Art, for example, in advertising a job that requires a bachelor's in Business Administration? Certainly the Art major knows little about business (from an education standpoint) however, they have qualified as the "quality" of individual the employer is looking for and are "sophisticated" enough to learn the subject matter while working on the job.
How long does it take to get a botany degree?
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.

If you go to a community college in Florida can you transfer to a university in a different state?
Yes you can. Hopefully your major is in a transfer program. There are typically three types of associate degrees. Not all are designed as transfer programs to four year institutions. Read the following.
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.
What college degree do you need to be a miner?
You need to have strong shoulders. Be prepared to be underpaid and overworked. But also be prepared to make a lot of friends that will become like family. Don't complain when you get called out at 2AM. Don't be late and at least ACT like you care about the company you're working for.
What is the objective of e-banking?
I guess that depends, doesn't it.... Commercial banks, like many viable financial institutions, operate in the private sector, and by definition all operations present in this sector have a profit motive, and thus seek to make profits by maximising flows of income which should evidentially surpass that of their costs (Economics 101). Commercial banks seek to provide a thorough circulation of money through the economy (i.e. private, public and individual levels) with them acting as the intermedium for this flow of money, in a profitable manner. What I mean by this is, that they consider their short-term and long-term inflows of money, and spread them out to see what time-frames may present problems (to avoid cash flow inefficiencies). Also, commercial banks will open trust, savings and current accounts to consumers and businesses (i.e. a long term loan for a client could be a mortgage, whilst for a business a short term loan could include a bank overdraft), and will use the money from clients to loan it financially to other clients or firms. This will be its main source of income, the incentive here being interest rates for people who lend the bank money (and can deposit it later on) and the incentive for the firm being high intrest rates on loans to firms and consumers. In such a manner, it aims to become profitable and lucrative. Of course, banks can also be used in a more traditional sense and store people's personal values in vaults or safes. Note that, even though commercial banks may help in factors such as economic growth, increased employment, more foreign investment..etc it is not one of their aims, but these are simply results of the banking facilities the banks provides, as banks only consider private benefits (it may be useful to look at social costs and benefits here).
That's my perception on commercial banks, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I am certain there are many other functions, but these are all that come to mind right now. I am actually only a IGCSE student, and so my info may only be accurate to a certain degree.
Cheers.

How many credits is full time?
Full-time is enrolling for a minimum of 12 semester hours for a school that operates on a two semester academic year.
What rank in the military would you get with a master's degree?
If you went through ROTC, you'll be a Second Lieutenant. If you enlisted into the military, it'll generally depend on your branch of service. I know in the Army with a four-year degree, you can enlist as a Specialist (E4). However, everyone else who enlists at the same time as you will have caught up with you in rank by the time you're eligible for Sergeant (E5).
How do I get a bachelor's degree in interior design?
If you are going to pursue a professional career as an engineer, set your sight on the higher degrees. Typically the minimum requirement for most positions is a bachelor's degree. However, many go on to pursue a master's and doctorate. Competition today is keen and you want to give yourself every advantage. That being said, with the cost of education today, you can start at your home county community college. It's much less expensive, it will be an easier transition into higher education, there is more individualized attention, and classes are smaller. After completion of the associates degree, you can then move on to your bachelor's degree. The community college is a great place to start.
Which degree is better to have an AA or AAS?
As I understand things, the "AS" degree is basically a one year program and not many of the credit hours will transfer to a higher learning education facility.
The "AA" degree is the less expensive route towards the "BA" or "BS" degree, where one gets the first two years of college done at about a third of what it would cost at a 4 year institution. Every credit hour in the "AA" program can be applied for the 4 year college.
The MBA at Devry is fine. The school has the appropriate regional accreditation, so the course work and degrees are recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. The one negative, is the price.
In the world of academia, AAS stands for "associates in applied science." Read the following to acquire a better understanding of associate degrees.
