If I go to an online school from a college that has a campus (Ex: Arizona State's online college) do I have to state that it's online on my resume?
You have to remember what is the purpose of a resume.The resume is not to sell yourself to a potential employer, nor to convince them to give you a job. It is not to persuade them that you are someone with enormous capabilities or magnificent achievements.The purpose of a resume is to motivate the company to invite you for an interview. Nothing more.People lie on their resumes all the time. Employers expect that, and generally speaking, they don't believe most of the claims made on resumes. So no matter how grndeloquesnt one is, no matter how filled with self-praise, the employer won't pay much attention to it and one will not get invited for an interview. That's why people who pay a lot of money for professional help in writing their resume, and who produce a brilliant and flowery document, can mail out 500 or 1000 resumes and get not one interview offer.Employers don't want to hire -- don't even want to interview -- people who lie. Someone who lies to get a job, is very likely also to lie within the company. They cannot be trusted, and no one wants an employee he cannot trust.Therefore, surprise the reviewer by being honest. Completely frank and truthful. If you had an ordinary job, with ordinary tasks, then say so. Don't embellish it. They will find out soon enough anyway, and if they see that what you wrote is greatly different from what you did, they will feel swindled. That is not a good feeling for a prospective employer to have about you.Tell the truth. If you have an online degree, say so. It is at least a degree, and it shows that you had some self-discipline and that you actually learned something, which should be useful.If you start out by lying, you will not be able to stop. You will have to lie, to try to convince someone that you were telling the truth earlier. At some point, it will catch up with you. You cannot avoid people learning the truth about you. And then it becomes very difficult to explain why you lied to them previously. You will be seen as just one more in the long parade of desperate job-seekers who tried to lie their way into a position, and your application will be discarded just like all the rest.
How do online community colleges work in US? Can you just be in another state or in Canada, or do you need to go to campus occasionally?
Each state runs independently.Being from California, I know the California system best.While almost all of the 100+ community colleges have online offerings, Coastline Community college is completely online.I myself have taken about 20 courses at Coastline and enjoy it. They currently use Canvas as their medium of instruction.Eric Garcia was my counselor, and they have other good counselors. Talk to a counselor about your goals.If you pay the fees, in your case out-of-state, you can take classes from any location. I myself took classes while I was in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Libya, and later China.
Open enrollment colleges in New York State?
Without knowing his SAT scores, it's a bit hard for me to advise accurately. I'd also want to know more about his transcript - what his overall GPA is, what his GPA trend from year to year was like: so freshman GPA, then sophomore, etc. These things are meaningful - in fact, depending on these factors, it may mean he doesn't need an open admissions college; simply one that's relatively easy to get into. Some colleges in NY State and very near it, which are pretty easy to get into: Nyack College, Dominican College of Blauvelt, CUNY Staten Island, CUNY Medgar Evers, Goddard College, Granite State, Lyndon State, Wilmington U, Green Mountain College, Franklin Pierce U, Southern NH University, Pennsylvania College of Tech - he has a very good shot at these schools. In addition, a bit harder to get into, but possibly still options for him, are: Burlington College, Centenary College, Keystone College, New England College, Nichols College, Paul Smith's College, Plymouth State, Regis College, Southern Vermont College. Some of these are harder to get into than others, but he has a shot at all of them. He should look each one up on www.collegeboard.com to compare his SAT scores to their averages, see which he feels he has a shot at. I did recommend some colleges in NY State, and some that are near NY State, because NY is huge. In reality, it's faster to drive from, say... NYC to Boston than it would be to drive from NYC to Plattsburgh. So depending on his reasons for looking only in NY State - if part of that is distance from home, then certain schools in neighboring states might be closer to home than some that are actually in NY State. Thus I suggested some for his consideration.
What was the single most impactful interaction you had in college?
It was with a professor named Jim Lamb who taught Anatomy & Physiology at the community college I attended. Professor Lamb had a Ph.D. in the sciences and also taught and did research at New Mexico State University.Professor Lamb had an office in the community college building and I often followed him there after classes for two totally separate reasons. The first reason was professor Lamb and I shared an exceedingly powerful attraction to Asian women (he was married to an Asian woman), and he liked to discuss what physiological processes influenced the various attractions we had. The second reason was he loved to talk about evolution and was doing research using New Mexico State University’s electron microscope to examine a particularly rare lizard found in the Franklin Mountain Range. He even had this picture on his wall of that same lizard, lying on a dinner plate alongside some mashed potatoes and peas, replete with knife, fork, and spoon.His research was on a ‘third eye’ the lizard possessed and his belief that it was somehow similar to a human’s pineal gland. He had a lot of very interesting theories about human evolution and would often share them with me and other interested science students.Professor Lamb liked to point out things about the human body to stimulate our minds into thinking more about them and why they exist such as, “Why do humans possess fingernails and toenails, eyelashes, hair on our heads, facial hair or pubic hair, a coccyx or primitive tail, an appendix, etc.” Then, he would propose that some of these parts of our body would eventually be canceled out with evolution.His research on the lizard, tied to the mysteries of the human pineal gland, involved trying to determine the purpose(s) of the pineal gland and the varied theories of the gland being the alarm clock of the body, as well as more of a ‘master’ gland than the pituitary.I was in college for many years and currently possess three degrees, but in all my studies I never once met a more interesting and dedicated professor as Dr. Lamb.Thank you for your question!
For those of you who have attended an online college or university, what influenced your decision to enroll online instead of on-campus?
I earned a graduate certificate online in Online Education from Walden University in 1995 — one of the first to be offered online. I had been in online education since 1989 and taking this course of study helped “certify” my expertise. I took it online bcs it was virtually the ONLY such course available at the time. I lived in Vermont, a tiny state, hard to commute, with very few educational opportunities on the ground and none in my field at the time. So ACCESS was my number one issue.The demographic reports on online students (college age) indicate that the market began as one of CONVENIENCE — students who traditionally used online colleges were older with children and careers and they needed flex schedules. Women (age 33 up were and remain a core market) as they are re-entry adults with access needs to solve child care.The military (mobile with access issues) has long been a major user of online ed as well as adults with careers ages 26–45 who need to climb in their careers and have commute issues. TIME is a factor.There is now some indication that online students are diversifying, becoming younger, and more hybrid (they take some classes online and others on campus to fit their needs).Some solid reports on online college students:The Learning House Welcome to Learning House - Online College Students 2013Two days ago Babson College, who has been tracking distance ed for almost two decades released their study:Distance Education Enrollment Report | News & EventsMany factors influence the demographics of college students online — for-profit schools for example, tend to recruit younger first time students whereas the non-profits tend to deal more solidly with a non-traditional adult population since their distance learning programs were designed to provide access to this population.Vicky Phillipsvickyphillips
Any help with anyone who has a Business Administration degree?
So I am about to go to school finally. I have been in the Marines for over ten years and finally have time to attend school since I am deciding to get out at the end of this contract. I am looking for online degree programs due to when I get out I will need to work full time cause I have a family to support. I found a great school (Ball State University) and heard there business program is very good. Now with that degree is it really worth it and also help me land a good job? I really wanted Human Resources but I can not find any schools that are not for profit schools which I refuse to attend. Ball State is looked at very well in my area. I would like to know if I was to get this degree would it honestly benefit me or just land me a 25,000 dollar a year job? I have goals and places I would love to work specially with veterans. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
What is the average minimum GPA accepted by most colleges?
I'm wondering this because my best friend Sara is starting to realize that she might not get accepted by any of the colleges she applied to because she has a 2.1GPA. I don't know what to say to her- do colleges accept people with this low of a GPA??? & She has either a 25 or 26 on the ACT, i can't remember. She has already been denied by 1 college, and I'm scared to ask about the other but I know she hasn't gotten any acceptance letters yet and it's almost March.
