Is majoring in Anthropology a good choice?
I'm getting ready to go to college and i cant decide what i want to major in. I've done some research and Anthropology sounds interesting. I'm just not sure what kind of job i could get with a degree in Anthropology. Is it a good choice or is there something else that would make a better major with Anthropology as a minor? I'm just a little confused by this whole process and would appreciate any help you could give thanks
Best major, out of these choices, for pre med?
I want to be a doctor or maybe pursue an MD/ Ph.D and become a medical scientist.What major, in you opinion, is the coolest and ''best''? Which would make the coolest career to ''fallback'' on??? 1) Biomedical Engineering- This major would help for med school because of its biological application. I also find engineering and physics to be interesting. Becoming a biomedical engineer could be a fallback career. 2) Chemical Engineering- I love chemistry and engineering. I think this would make a great major. It could also be a fallback career. 3) Chemistry- I think chemstry is just awesome. All the chemical equation, the things you can make, ect. 4) Physics- Physics is so awe inspiring. All the theories. The possibilities are endless.
Which is the best major for an occupational therapy doctorate?
I think the best majors are in fields that are related to OT. Psychology, Health Sciences, Kinesiology, Sociology, Child Development, Gerontology, and so on. Other awesome areas include foreign languages, engineering, journalism, business, and product design. Really the choice is up to you. Going straight into an occupational therapy major is fine choice. Most students do that as part of a 5 year plan to get their master's. So it is more likely that you will get your master's in these programs than just getting a BS in occupational therapy. Do something you love. Having options is great. Just think of where you were 4 years ago and how much you have changed since then. It is good to have the ability to change your mind. A social sciences major is very broad, and may not afford you as many opportunities as a science or business major. A unique major is also a way to stand out. However, if you major in astronomy, occupational therapy schools may wonder what that has to do with OT and if you are really focused. You can combat that by saying you have many interests and doing the OT prerequisites and shadowing at the same time. Some of the most important things to learn in your undergraduate years, regardless of your major, are research skills, writing skills, communication skills, and critical thinking. These will be especially important since you desire to get a doctorate. For working as an OT, a master's is plenty. A doctorate is really for conducting research and being an instructor. I enjoy research, so I would like to get my doctorate as well. Undergraduate research experience in any field is very helpful in getting selected to an OT doctorate program. In your case, I would recommend majoring in something you can fall back on and getting as much OT volunteer experience and undergraduate research experience as possible. This will give you a very broad background. Then go to OT school. There are even OT schools with entry-level doctoral programs, so you wouldn't need to get your master's first. Good luck!
What majors are good for preparing you for veterinary school?
Animal Science is a major that often has many branches to it, such as an "Equine" branch, and a "Dairy Management" branch, plus a "Veterinary Medicine" branch. The veterinary medicine branch has tons of science in it, since it is geared towards future veterinarians. Most schools that offer this major offer an area to emphasis in, it's a great option if you are planning to be a veterinarian! Another option is a Biology major. It satisfies all veterinary school prerequisites (not to mention all medical, dental, and chiropractic prerequisites, if you decided to not pursue veterinary medicine) therefore all your prerequisites simultaneously work towards your degree. If for some reason you are unable to get into veterinary school, you are correct about an Animal Science degree (Biology as well) to be somewhat useless. Sure you aren't doomed, but the animal related jobs are few, and the pay is never great! The benefit of a Biology degree, as I mentioned earlier, is that there is many more options that you can do with it. Medical school is easier to get into versus veterinary school. To answer your last question though, an Animal Science major with an emphasis in veterinary medicine is a GREAT major for veterinary school!
What minor would best compliment an architecture major?
I know that I want to major in architecture and I know I will likely get my master's in architecture as well. While I'm an undergrad, I want to minor in something. I have equal interests in all three of these subjects but I'm just not sure which one would be better... so I suppose I should go with whichever could help me more in the job field - which would that be? I am tied between anthropology, art history, and geography. Which would be best?
For Med School, Double/Triple Major, Graduate Early, Masters? Which is best?
I'm going to enroll in college next year, and at my school I' will attend, I have enough AP credits and the degree programs have enough overlap that I can theoretically major in several disciplines (I know that most med schools have their own philosophies about AP credits, but I still can accomplish these with the course overlap and taking APs on non-med school classes like histories etc.). I plan to apply to med school after graduating. I am definitely majoring in biochemistry as my first major. Now, Regardless Of the financial, social, timing, or academic burdens associated with these options, could someone recommend the best path with med school in mind out of the following. I could achieve a double or triple major in any of these--Biomathematics, Biophysics, Mathematics, Computer Science--added to the biochemistry. I will have enough credits to graduate theoretically after 2.5 years with the biochem alone as another option. Also, my school offers a masters' program in biochemistry that I could pursue as well. I know any of these options could add to my academic stress (lower gpa, more courses in less time, etc.), that they would cost more than a single major, and may possibly keep me in school 0.5-1 year longer. Not to mention the fact that my social life would be reduced because of studying. Now, could someone recommend the best option for applying to med school out of these three choices? Or suggest a creative path I did not consider? I'd prefer not to take only a single major (biochem) for the four years, and I do not really want minors instead of majors. Thanks for the help.
What college in the Dominican Republic would be a better choice?
I'm planning on going to the dominican republic for college but i do not know which one of these two would be better if the pucamaima or intec. my major would be industrial engineering, now i know the best college for that major would be intec and i also know i would finish it a lot quicker in intec but what I am more concern of is which of the two is more recognized here in the United States or which degree is easier to validate if one from the pucamaima or the one from intec since im planning on coming back and validating my degree. I was born in the dominican republic and I speak, read and understand spanish perfectly so the language would not be a problem for me and also I am a United States citizen so I could stay otside the country for as long as I need (thought this info might be helpful).
