Im attending argosy university online to get my bachelors degree...?
You're wasting your time and money. Argosy is a worthless for-profit school. Psychology is a useless degree at the Bachelor's level (and you may not get to graduate school with an Argosy degree) ------------------------ [From Wikipedia] "In 2009, 15 students sued Argosy University's Dallas campus, accusing the school of fraud. They allege that Argosy representatives lied to them in order to get them to enroll in the college, saying that the college was in the process of becoming accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) and would be accredited by the APA by the time the students graduated. When the students graduated, the university had still made no progress toward accreditation by the APA, which the students claim significantly hindered their employability and thus their ability to pay off their student loans. "Florida Attorney General investigation The Office of the Florida Attorney General is currently conducting a civil investigation of Argosy University regarding "[a]lleged misrepresentations regarding financial aid; alleged unfair/deceptive practices regarding recruitment, enrollment, accreditation, placement, graduation rates, etc."
Transferring from community college to university...?
Hey there folks, I am in 11th grade, and currently studying to take my SAT in May. I am going through all the study books and SAT prep guides, and I'm noticing that this stuff is really hard. Now, I'm not trying to be a downer or anything, but just realistic, and reality here is that I am probably not going to do very good on the SAT. So I had some questions about Community College. First of all, do they check your SAT scores? Will they decline to accept me if I do bad on the SAT? I definitely want to transfer to a university after community college, so how does that work? Do I stay at community college for 1 year, study a little bit more, take the SAT again and apply for a university? A lot of people say that you will save a lot of money if you go to community college for 2 years, and then transfer after that. Is that true, and if it is, then why is that so? Also, if I do end up staying in a community college for 2 years and then transferring, will I still have to attend university for 4 years? Therefore having to do a total of 6 years of higher education after high school? Or will I be able to get a bachelors in 2 years from the university, because I had already finished 2 years that the community college? Arrrgh! This whole college business is really confusing!
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.
Is 40 years old too late to attend law school?
No, not at all. At most large law firms (if that’s what you’re shooting for), the partnership track is about 8 years, which means that you can be a partner at a law firm 11 years after starting law school. Big law firm partners make $350,000+ even if they are not equity partners, so from a financial standpoint, I think it still can be well worth it. Not to mention, along the way you will be paid well, starting at $180,000 base salary as a first year associate (large law firms just bumped starting pay from $160,000 to $180,000). Granted, this is assuming that you can get into a T-14 law school or reasonably ranked law school outside of the T-14 field and do extremely well in your classes. Gaining admission into a T-14 school will mean that a great deal of the pressure will be off as most students will have the ability to nab a high paying job right after graduation. T-14 schools include (1) Georgetown, (2) Northwestern, (3) University of Virginia, (4) University of Michigan, (5) Cornell, (6) Duke, (7) University of Chicago, (8) U Penn, (9) Columbia, (10) NYU, (11) Berkeley, (12) Harvard, (13) Stanford, and (14) Yale.But this is only the financial side of the equation. If your motivation is not to get into a big law firm, but instead pursue the field of law out of passion, then I would say that this is even more of a reason to go regardless of your age. I think you can still have a very promising and terrific legal career at this stage in life. I have seen law school students in their 30s and 40s do extremely well in their particular legal field, often compensating for less time available by utilizing their greater level of life experience and focus along the way. There was a former Northwestern University School of Law Graduate who worked at the post office for 20 years before attending Northwestern. He graduated and is now a partner at a prestigious firm in Chicago, many of his colleagues now referring to him as the “smartest guy in the room” at meetings. If you have a deep desire to attend law school and have done your due diligence so that you understand what a legal career entails, I say go for it.
Earning college degree while on active duty?
I'm enlisting for the Marine Corps for 5 years and I wanted to get my bachelor's degree while I was on duty. I know that Tuition Assistance covers up to $4,500 a fisical year. I'm not sure what a fisicial year is but I'm guessing it's one full year of education. I really wanted to major in Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement but I haven't found any decent colleges that offer that program online. Do they have college courses on base as well that I can take? I know there are colleges like the University of Pheonix, Ashford U, AMU and etc. but I heard those colleges aren't accredited and education there is pretty bad. I don't want to waste my time to get a degree that gets looked down on by employers and aren't even recognized as well. Can someone explain how college works while on active duty and tuition and credits and stuff works?
How long would it take me to get 40 college credits?
It took me 40 years to get my first 20 credits. And I walked uphill 5 miles both ways in the snow to get to school, too.
Is it bad timing that a 40 year old mother would want to go back to University at the same time her daughter is about to start and can only afford to send herself?
There is this thing, called a Pell Grant that both parent and child can get.Based on the wording of the question I am going to guess that the family is not well off and that there is enough need in the family that they would probably qualify for some federal grants. Both mother and daughter could get part-time jobs and provide money for both educations.By living in a home together and working together both can improve their situation and further their education. There is no reason not to. To the other people saying that to crush the hopes and dreams of the mother in order to further the hopes and dreams of the child is the only way… shame on you. There are better ways. We aren’t neanderthals that have to do that anymore.I know because my household does this. I am currently working part-time managing my own marketing business from home, while also getting my MBA from Florida Institute of Technology online, while my husband is attending school at the University of South Alabama getting his Bachelors of Accounting Degree and interning at the college. My daughter is also enrolling in the fall at South and my son is dual enrolled in college and high school. So every person in our house is in college in one form or another or about to enter.There are also programs that mom could get involved in that would support her return to college like this entire page: Free Grants for Single MomsSo before the hype train begins of lets destroy mom for hoping to better herself now that kiddo is an adult and can take some responsibility for herself, maybe consider that mom might be going back to school because she might have been struggling for a long time and this is a chance for her.If mom is 40 years old, and the daughter is about to enter college, then she probably was pretty young when she had that child and didn’t get that chance the first time around for herself.I know what that feels like. So I say… more power to you. Do what you have to do for you and your daughter. Both of you can go to school at the same time without sacrificing either of your educations.
