Aww...not even change it for a picture of me? :D I've been asking my friends if they can shrink one I took to avatar-size for me.
Laura -- College varies based on what people want to study. Some local schools offer 2 year programs for people who are going to make a career doing more manual labor, but still want to improve their basic math or english for the job. Most common is a 4 year program, after which you get a Bachelor's Degree. If a person wants to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or a college professor, or a scientist -- something like that -- they have to continue for another 3 years at least, I believe, and get their Master's Degree. Oftentimes people studying classical music or literature will continue to study for their Master's as well. To get one I think has mostly to do with taking certain tests, and submitting a certain amount of work for review, so people can spend years and years working towards their Master's. For instance, I think to be a High School teacher (maybe? I don't remember where I heard this), a person doesn't need a Master's, but must show proof that they are studying to get one.
[edit] P.S. -- What happened to my Vampire Alex picture? I like that one. :D
Sorry Ravana! Alex is lovely, but I feel like a change. :)
I want Alex.:( You're not scary enough :D
*Sniff* What a cruel thing to say...
;)
Alex may come back. I'm starting to get creeped out seeing my face everywhere. :p
Thanx Emily!!!! Our teachers seem to be a giving us students the wrong information. ...well, now I know how it really is, so it doesnt matter what they said... Thanx! :)
Hey, but one more question! Whats the differens between college and university? Is university better than college? I dont know why Im imagining that. Do u study for Bachlos's and Master's degrees at the same places?
i think uni's are bigger/have more comprehensive programs, more research opportunities/more grad opportunities.
like in '87 i went to california state university, chico for theatre, but my younger brother is at university of california, davis for medicine. state universities are smaller than universities (it's like the difference between penn state, and u penn), sort of between a college and a uni. i recently graduated from a junior college; we had great instructors/programs, but it was definitely small, and though one of the top 3 in the nation, there just isn't the variety of courses etc. to be found at uni.
you can get associate degrees at junior colleges; bachelor and master degrees at state universities; and bachelor, master, and doctorate degrees at universities.
I've actually always wondered the same thing. As far as I can understand, a University is technically the large organization that grants degrees, and has several college buildings -- one that teaches sciences, another that teaches arts, etc. But a college can also exist independently, not associated with a University. I don't understand exactly how that works, but I think basically a university is like a college but it's very big, so it needs to be broken up into smaller sections.
Ok, thankyou!!!!!!!
