Graduate Degrees - From a Students Perspective
Welcome to my blog. I created this blog to talk about my experience as a graduate student. How I selected the right school, the right degree, and what its like. My trials and tribulations.
My first review is below.
Your Second Graduate Degree
If you already have a Bachelors degree, or are doing well in college, then many programs can be extended to a Masters. For some programs, it is imperative that you have a masters if you are intending to pursue a particular career path. Teachers must have a Masters in education in any given program, reguardless if it is English or Mathematics. It is not possible to qualify for a teaching certificate without a masters in education. Although many are now obtaining a masters in education online. If you are in nursing, and hope to become a doctor, then education beyond four years is logical. Full-fledged doctors have a post-baccalaureate education, hence the names Doctorate and doctor.
If it is not a necessity, then a four-year degree may be all that you need. Six-year degrees, by all means, are much scarcer, and they often entitle the holder to positions and considerations that might otherwise not be open. Bachelors degrees, by their common nature, are associated with college students and the average person. Masters degrees and higher are associated with academic commitment and genuine wisdom. Those who hold Masters degrees are genuine experts.
The ultimate determination is not simply your personal will to shell out more cash; it depends on your grades. Many colleges will not accept poeple for the highest tiers of education unless they have at least a B average. Very often, the bar is raised to 3.5 GPA or even higher. It is these high standards that makes Masters degrees so prestigious. You have been successful for your entire academic career.
As impressive as they are, just keep in mind that you will be keeping yourself in college for perhaps another two years, meaning more debt if you do not have a job working for that university. A Bachelor's will suffice for most career options. Think it through; it is a lot of time and money and carefully consider each university, below are some options.
