College

[Lizard Fuel]

I go to UCONN, pursuing my masters in Education with a focus on Geography and American History, granted this current semester is my first one, but Im taking 6 classes per semester, including extra winter and summer courses. Going try to knock out my B.S. in 2 years. My biggest obstacle is that I have too much time on my hands, as chapter 31 of the new GI bill pays me a decent amount of money just for attending classes, more than enough to live on.

Ok my UK friends on the forum....I am looking for clarification on Xog's post. I am not bothered by it at all, except is Cambride called:

Cambridge University?

or

Univeristy of Cambridge?

I had always thought it was Cambridge University.

It's just one of those things that I looked at and was thinking...that's not correct. It would be similar to calling Ohio State University --> University of Ohio State or University of Pennsylavnia -> Pennsylvania University

No offense Xog, as this is not a bashing...just a clarification, as I had noted, I always thought of the school in question as "Cambridge University". Would it also be University of Oxford rather than Oxford University?

At least it's not Devry

I thought the same thing 404! I'm surprised to learn it's actually University of Cambridge...

I've even been to Oxford (as a tourist :P) but didn't notice it being called University of Oxford!

Something doesn't add up here:

Master's in Education? BS in 2 years?

I don't get it, you don't say you're going to school to get a Masters when you haven't even finished your bachelors. When the topic comes up about what you plan on doing in University, you usually say I'm currently doing this, and then I'd like to do that. People ask me and I say, I'm doing a double major in English and Politics and then when I'm done I will apply to teachers college or go back and get a masters in education.

He might have some accreditation from a previous institution, but it doesn't sound like since he's trying to cram four years into two. I wouldn't suggest that to be honest. Even with transfer credits and me willing to pick up extra credits during the summer it's still going to take me just over 2.5-3 years.

edit: It could also depend on this institution, less reputable Universities offer College students better transfer options. For Example, I have a 2 year Diploma and would have been able to get my bachelors in B.C for 1 year full time or 2 years part-time online. I also had the opportunity to go to Sydney and get a Bachelors in communication in 1.5 years. Once again, this requires some sort of accreditation...

For clarifications sake, I need to get my B.S. first, then follow up with a masters, as it is required to teach in the state that I intend to reside.

I had 28 credits transfer from my military service, and I am going to stack up 18-20 credits per semester at my current rate. With 3-4 credits extra for both a summer and winter course it would be about 50 credits per year (Give or take a couple)...With the credits I already have, I should be able to obtain my bachelors in 2 years, (120 credit hours) assuming I don't burn out first.

Content now? Because your comfort is important to me

You're pursuing a bachelors not a masters and you have previous accreditation. Sounds good.

sigh you guys ruined a normal thread.

I don't get it, you don't say you're going to school to get a Masters when you haven't even finished your bachelors.

I am currently doing my Masters without having finished my bachelors.

[paradise!]

I am currently doing my Masters without having finished my bachelors.

explain how this is possible. It's required to have your bachelors before getting a Masters at any university. Think about it, getting your masters means you are specializing, but if you have no foundation with the basics..how can you even specialize.

[Fit of Rage]

I'm technically pursuing both at the same time. My school has a program where you roll your senior-level BS classes and graduate classes together, culminating in a BS and MS degree being awarded at completion. So long as you take everything before you get your degrees, it doesn't matter what order you do them in. The real determining factor for me is how long it takes me to complete my thesis.

[Galleleo]

How it is possible is that I have finished my bachelor except one course, so my uni allows me to start on my master while I at the same time I am finishing that course.

You DON'T fuck with this:
