Can I study two degrees at once?
I can only give you anectdotal advice, but there are definitely people that do study two degrees at once.I have a friend who was a classmate during the last five years. We studied physics. But she also studied mathematics, with a one year delay in respect to the physics degrees. It was far from easy, but she somehow managed it with flying colors, publishing several articles along the way, and even keeping some of her private life in the process! But the important thing to keep in mind is that math and physics are very similar degrees. Even though you have your exams, and homework, and you most solve a lot of problems in your free time, if you are good at understanding mathematical problems you will also be good at physics and vice versa. Plus, neither degree requires excessive memorizing or important exams that take months to prepare for.I have many friends who study medicine and, to the majority of them, it was a full-time job. The way the exams are held, at least where I studied, makes it easy for some students to study for half a year and then still fail the exam, because they got they pulled the wrong question or the examiner had a bad mood or whatever. And having to balance two degrees, especially degrees where the bodies of knowledge don’t intersect with each other, might make such a failure more probable.If you are really passionate about the subject you want to graduate in besides medicine, and you feel you have a lot of free time, then don’t let me disparage you. I can’t know how the medicine degree works where you come from. Maybe it’s much more fair, or requires less memorizing. It just would be a shame to not finish your first degree because of some second. But it can be done.Edit:Wait, I reread the question details - so you want to first study a two year degree and then, after you’ve finished it, start a medical degree, and use your previously acquired degree to land a job besides studies.That seems far more doable than managing two degrees simultaneously. I hope I understood your problem now correctly.
Where can I study two careers (degrees) at the same time?
Most universities allow you to do a double major. They have degree plans where the work is interreated so you don’t spend too much time in school.I found that dual majors are a waste of time. Mastery of a domain is more important than throwing out a dragnet with the hopes of hedging bets that you will get more money/jobs/whatever.The most important thing to understand is that the degree gets your foot in the door. Once you get your foot in the door, it is up to you on how you proceed further. If you majored in underwater basket weaving, you might want to be a scuba instructor later on. You might not. If you did both in school, you run the risk of wasting time and money on something you won’t benefit from. You could also run the risk that the employer does not value your extra education and thus not pay you a higher salary for it.Throughout your career, you will be faced with changes whether it be job, skill, company, or industry. Enhance your skills as you need to along the way. It will be cheaper and more efficient to do it that way.
Can I go to two different colleges at the same time?
Since it sounds as though you wish to pursue two different degree programs simultaneously without having them be coordinated under the auspices of one institution, you will not be able to receive financial aid for both, as one financial aid award will cancel out the other. You always have to declare everything you're receiving, even whether a grandparent is giving you some money for college. Otherwise, while your idea seems possible, it is not advisable for a whole host of reasons. For one, you're likely to wind up spending more money for extra classes to satisfy distribution and elective requirements since each institution won't see that you're already completing those requirements elsewhere. Secondly, unless your on-line degree is from a shoddy, non-accredited program, I think you may be underestimating just how much time you'll need to invest in it. You won't have the time to double up, so you'll wind up prolonging how long it takes to complete each program. Meanwhile, the cost of tuition will keep rising and you'll take longer to get either degree. There's no reason why you can't double major at one institution. You may even be able to take some of your classes through the other on-line program and have the credits transfer in, however you'll need to check with your academic or transfer advisor about this. While many of the core distribution credits can be taken at other institutions, most universities insist on you taking most or all of your upper-level classes from them. You may also wish to consider putting off the other area of study for a Masters degree program. This way, you'll earn your bachelors degree quicker and advance your career faster by moving up the ladder rather than diffusing your education at one level.
Can someone study two different fields in two collages at the same time?
No. Unfortunately Pune University does not allow dual specialization.You'll have to complete one specialization and then again apply for the second one.
Is it humanly possible to study for three different bachelor's degree at the same time?
“Is it humanly possible to study for three different bachelor's degree at the same time?”No.Even if you never attended lectures, and did the degrees at different universities (because one university is not likely to let you do three) you would have exam conflicts.Don’t bother. Get the Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD needed for your career, and study the other stuff on your own, by reading and auditing courses, or make them minors in the degree. You don’t need a full Bachelor’s degree in a subject that you just find rather interesting.
Can I do two different degrees at Open University at the same time?
All of the previous answers are correct. However, I did work towards two degrees at the same time, graduation in 2011 and 2012. It wasn’t really a conscious decision, so here’s how I fell into it.I had an accident and was left bed bound for a while. As a consequence I lost my job. As part of my recovery I had to do something. So, I signed up with the OU and in 6 months I’d done seven short courses (70 points in the bank). I then started to look at the next set of courses and spoken to the OU. I was told that I needed to pick a degree program in order to continue. After thinking about it, I picked a BA in Business and started the business courses. I also transferred in some credits, getting some more points in the bank and I was registered for an open degree. The open degree isn’t named, depending on your courses you can pick BA or BSc.The NHS were still very involved with my recovery, so I was studying around surgery. A few courses I picked didn’t really fit with my Business Degree so I “moved” them into my open degree. I kept busy doing as many courses as I could.The previous point about only doing 120 points per year is right, but you can do more. The OU questioned my choice to enrol for 3 short courses while I was already studying 120 points worth of courses. The timing fell just right, I was expecting surgery and knew I’d be bed bound for a month or so. I was more than on track with my current courses and 3 short courses would keep me busy after surgery.Anyway, it took me 5 years and I came out of it with two degrees. The OU played an important role in my recovery, and they were immensely supportive.So, yes, you can study for two degrees at the same time.The challenge becomes addictive though. I’m now working towards a masters, while working full time.
Can I earn two degrees at the same time?
In the past, having one college degree was the key to success. Just about any degree would guarantee you a high-paying job, and few people went beyond the bachelor’s level in their educational experience. However, today’s world is different. Sometimes you must have two or more degrees to secure certain jobs, especially if your degrees are very specialized or in a narrow field. You can earn more than one degree at the same time if you work with your college advisor to structure your classes so that you earn sufficient credit for both degree requirements.There are many people who choose a dual major to make them more marketable in their chosen job fields. For example, a teacher may already know that he or she is going to teach history at the high school level, and may decide that a dual major in education and history would be more impressive to potential employers. If this is the case, it is not difficult to see why a student might find it worthwhile to pursue both degrees simultaneously.There are many examples of fields in which a dual major may give you more return on your educational investment than a single degree. Accounting, business, and finance are all areas where dual majors are prevalent, as are education, health care, and management. In fact, almost any “general” degree can be paired with a more specific one that will enhance the main degree and give it more support.
Studying in a Korean university? Good/bad idea?
I don't know exactly why, but I really want to study there later on, and maybe even live there for a while.. After graduating high school, I plan on attending a 4 year college (in the U.S.), then applying as a transfer student (for a semester or two) to SNU/Yonsei. I'm not as fluent as a native speaker, but I have no problem understanding and speaking the language. I have friends and some relatives there, and I've visited Korea about 10 times so i'm familiar with the area and how to get around in Seoul. I've wanted to go through with this plan since I was like 13, but now i'm starting to think whether or not this is a good idea for my future. Will it be a waste of time? I'm really interested in dance, math and a bit in science. I really wanted to get a career later on relating to dance, but of course my family is strictly against this, so I've decided to take the academic path... but I still have a lot of interest mainly statistics and chemistry. Clearly, I could get this education here in the states, but I guess I want to go abroad simply because of the fact that it's Korea. I'm sort of tired of the same atmosphere here, and want to go away and experience something new for a while. And I happened to choose Korea because I really like the culture and just the country as a whole. My aunt is a college professor in Seoul, and she wants me to just stay and get my education here... So....what do you guys think? Is it a stupid decision?
