I would probably major in animal sciences or something like that. Is this field of study at this University good or well-known to veterinary schools? Also what other universities would be good for someone who wants to go to vet school? I also am considering UC-Davis, but that is way farther than Cal Poly Pomona. What would you recommend?

Are you kidding? Cal Poly Pomona is one of the best universities in California for that major. UC Davis is probably the best in the country and therefore you’ll need a 4.2 and a 1500/1600 on your SATs to go there. If you can’t get into UCD, CPP is your next best bet. They’ve got great facilities including the world famous Kellogg Arabian Horse Center. In case you haven’t also heard, the W.K. Kellogg foundation just gifted $42 million dollars to the school, the largest such gift in the entire CSU system ever. You may also consider Cal Poly SLO, but only Pomona also offer a zoology option. Cal Poly emphasizes hands on learning, so you’ll get plenty of labs working with real animals, and you won’t be learning just from books. Visit their website and visit the school. Look for the Sunday horse show, conducted the first Sunday of most months and is conducted mostly by Cal Poly Pomona students. Good luck!!

I have double degree in Law and Chemistry from New Zealand University. I want to become a CEO at a hospital in the future. What are the possibilities?

If you really want to be CEO or something like that then You should check you some good premier universities. Oxford accepts double degree students in almost every discipline.
I would recommend, any of Oxford or Cambridge!
Other wise check out; UPenn in USA.
better luck.

I would like to become a book editor and a model or actress when I am older, but I dont know what university can help me in all those catigories at the same time. I also would like to have the University be in the usa. (atleast) please someone answer!! I really want to be an actress, but in case it dosnt work I want to be a book editor.

no college that i know of has classes in modeling so you’ll have to go to the private sector for those. many english-geared degrees will help with book editing and you can find thos ein addition to theater arts at NYU, Tisch, carnegie Mellon, USC, UCLA and a bunch of other state schools.

This year I will start my degree in the U.K and some people suggested me to apply to Bristol as appears to be a nice city for students. When I was applying through UCAS I selected UWE( university of west of England) and apparently it is totally different from the University of Bristol. I would prefer University of Bristol because is one of the best universities in the universities’ ranking of the United Kingdom, EWU seems to have a lower level.

EWU has offer me a place in the degree I wish to do. What should I do?

My daughter has just done the rounds of university open days and interviews as she will start her degree this October. She has luckily been offered a place at the University of Bristol. The two universities you mention are not even on the same scale. Bristol University is seen as very, very good and is difficult to get into, the other one is way down in the rankings I’m afraid. Don’t want to put a damper on your offer, but I’m just being realistic. Without knowing what other offers you have or where you have applied to, it is difficult to judge. If you have no other offers, take this one. If you have offers at higher ranking universities, take one of those. People judge you on where you went, not what you studied I’m afraid.

A successful culinary arts student will require a dash of hard work and a pinch of talent to make a great recipe for a career in the wonderful world of cooking. A fast-paced cooking environment that will require culinary arts students to obtain knowledge quickly and study hard to retain a good amount of information in a very short period of time to accomplish their goals. A cooking profession that revolves around a kitchen environment, there are many colleges and universities around the world that offer degrees and certificate programs to prepare and solve a students career challenge. For the students culinary career, they will learn various skills and cooking techniques while studying the art of cooking. Students in culinary arts can choose from a variety of different cooking programs, also various specialties, and these different specialties have unique techniques and skills necessary for a students career.

Specific types of chefs and their specialties are the order of authority, and are typical in a restaurant kitchen environment. An executive chef has the highest position in the restaurant, and his/her responsibility is in the planning and preparation of the food and meals that are being served to their customers. A typical executive chefs duty is to create a menu, make sure the quality of the food is up to standard and deciding how much food is required for the service. Food preparation and managing a staff are some of the skills students will have to learn and acquire, if their goal is to become an executive chef.

In restaurants, directly supervised by an executive chef, most times, are sous-chefs and they will assist executive chefs with their daily restaurant duties, requesting food and kitchen supplies, planning the restaurant menu. Some of the responsibilities of the sous-chefs are to teach new skills and techniques to a kitchen staff. Supervision of other kitchen personnel such as specialty chefs and cooks are a sous-chefs responsibility. While students study at culinary colleges and universities to become the next future sous-chefs, they will have to learn different cooking techniques and also teaching skills.

Specialty chefs also work in kitchens, and they can specialize in many areas of food including all the meat classes like beef, veal, lamb, poultry and fish to other areas from appetizers to pastries. Specialty chefs will prepare total and complete meals, to decorative food trays, and food garnishes for presentations to customers of the restaurant. Specialty chefs will help supervise other cooks and various staff members in the restaurant kitchen. At culinary arts colleges and universities, students who would like to become specialty chefs will study and learn about all the various aspects and techniques in cooking where they can make a decision on their specific specialty while at college or university.

Part of the professional kitchen staff are normal cooks who do most of the grunt work in regards to the cooking in kitchen restaurants. Cooks will prepare complete meals and then supervise other staff and help in the kitchens. It is a team effort from all kitchen staff to make a restaurant successful. Executive chefs and sous-chefs will start their culinary career as a kitchen cook in restaurants or other cooking locations, and it is usually one of the first steps into a successful culinary career once a student graduates from a culinary arts college or university.

To become aspiring professional chefs in this competitive world, students will prepare and learn all about the various aspects of culinary cooking. The proper techniques in cooking different types of foods, learn what food ingredients compliment one another and more. One of the most important parts of cooking is food safety and food safe courses are taken to make the cooking process food safe. Learn how to prepare food safely, learn proper cooking temperatures for various types of foods and the nutritional benefits, health aspects of different types of foods. Students have to know while preparing food, what is in the foods and how it will affect certain types of people with different health risks.

While fine tuning their cooking skills that students already possess, students at culinary colleges and universities will learn all about these important aspects of the art of cooking.

Many very dutiful students begin their college careers missing out on some of the greatest resources on campus. While your focus should be on completing the assignments you have for your courses, you should not restrict your academic life to the rooms where you attend class and the room where you do your homework. There are many university resources at your disposal that will make your learning experiences in your courses more meaningful if you take the time to find out about them.

Libraries: Not Rendered Obsolete By Google.com

You might think that because you have so much course reading that you bought at the bookstore and the Internet in your dorm room that you really don’t have a need for the library. However, as many of your professors are bound to tell you, Google.com has not rendered the resource of the library obsolete. Though you might view having to get up and go there as a disadvantage, the library is still the best place on campus for research, and there are probably many specialty libraries on campus as well to enhance your learning experiences.

Even if you are not headed for a writing-intensive career, the chances are very, very good that you will have to write a few research papers during your time in undergrad. To get the best grade you possibly can on these papers, be sure you’re not handing in a works cited page that’s composed entirely of World Wide Web addresses. As your professors will tell you, the quality of information on the Internet varies widely, and they are only interested in you developing arguments in your papers that are based on analyses of the most scholarly reference materials you can find. How do you find these? Befriend a reference librarian. Take your assignment sheet to the reference desk of your university library and ask a reference librarian about what direction he thinks you should go to look for resources. You will be introduced to more information than you can read in your four years at school, but from that, you can cull great material for your paper.

Labs: A Great Place To Visit If You’re Not Sure What To Take

If you are taking a science course, you will probably have no chance of missing the labs. However, if you’re facing a science requirement and you’re not sure what to take, consider asking someone for a tour of the various labs in your science department. Maybe the mere sight of a Bunsen burner will help you decide to find out what chemistry’s all about. Or maybe it’s the display of geodes in the geology lab that will make you decide rocks aren’t only for jocks.

Texas Tech University, which is located at Lubbock Texas, was established on February 10, 1923. This public university was originally called the Texas Tech University System, which is known for being one of the largest contiguous campuses in the US. Also, this institution is the only one in Texas that houses undergraduate, medical, and law schools at the same campus or location. When it comes to sports, the athletic teams that represent this school are called the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Women teams are also called Red Raiders, except for the women’s basketball team which is called the Lady Raiders.

The Texas Tech University has two mascots, Masked Rider and Raider Red. The former is actually the oldest mascot of the university. Although the Masked Rider was first used by the athletic teams of the school in 1936, it became an official mascot only in 1954 when Joe Kirk Fulton together with his horse Blackie led the Texas Tech Red Raiders football team into the field at the Gater Bowl. An Atlanta Journal writer, Ed Danforth, even wrote that there is no team in any sports bowl to have ever made a sensational entrance such as the one that Fulton, along with the rest of the Texas Tech Red Raiders, pulled that day. To commemorate this unforgettable tradition, a statue of the Masked Rider created by renowned artist Grant Speed was unveiled in 2000.

The other mascot of Texas Tech University, Raider Red, is a fairly recent addition to the team. This mascot was actually unveiled during the 1971 football games because the Southwest Conference did not allow the inclusion of live and breathing animal mascots on the games unless the host school explicitly consented. So, in games or situations where the home team cannot bring the beloved Masked Rider’s horse, the raiders usually bring Raider Red, which was created by Jim Gaspard. Although the true identity of the Masked Rider is known to everyone, the identity of the one who is wearing the Raider Red costume is not public knowledge, at least until the end of the student’s tenure. However, one thing is for sure, the one who dons Raider Red should be a member of the High Riders or the Saddle Tramps.

For the longest time, the rivals of the Texas Tech University in athletic competitions have been the Texas A&M Aggies and the Texas Longhorns. The students and fans of Texas Tech usually camp outside the Jones AT&T Stadium the night before important games against the Aggies, the Longhorns, and even the Oklahoma Sooners are held. Aside from the mascots, another popular school tradition of Texas Tech is the Double T Logo. Whenever you see this symbol, it is a good bet that the one wearing it is a student, alumni, or a fan of the Texas Tech teams. The first one who used this symbol to decorate the football team’s sweater is EY Freeland, who is also the first coach of the Texas Tech football team. The logo was updated in 2000 to make the Double T look more three-dimensional.

Maybe you’re considering getting a degree from an online university. Maybe you’ve just earned one and in preparing to apply for new jobs that will make the most of it, you’re wondering whether or not prospective employers will see your resume and have bad associations with your online degree. In a word, the answer is no.

Employers who require employees to have a college degree care that you have one from somewhere. Traditionally, there are about 20 colleges in the United States (the Ivies and a handful of other prominent schools) that make employers sit up and take notice about where your degree came from. If you did not attend one of these places, you are like most people, who find that the name of their school is less important to their employers than how they performed academically, and what they studied.

In fact, your online degree may set you apart in a positive way from the rest of the pack of applicants. Successfully obtaining your degree online tells prospective employers that you are a person who will get the job done even when no one is looking. Online degrees testify that their recipients are self-motivated individuals who are capable of managing multiple priorities. And whatever job you’re applying for, rest assured that those are two qualities all organizations prize.

Furthermore, online universities are becoming more and more popular. While your online degree can set you apart in the aforementioned ways, you should have no fear that it will stigmatize you. Each day, it becomes more and more likely that the person you sit down to interview with may have attended the same online school that you did!

Another benefit of the online University experience in the eyes of employers is that it is designed in large part for working professionals. The fact that you’ve made it through an online degree program tells your prospective employer that you have had intense exposure to the types of collegial interactions you will face in the working world. Online universities emphasize and develop the ability to work with others, to manage and meet deadlines, and to be responsible for learning on your own. When you consider all of the things a degree from an online university says about you, you should realize that you’re more of a proven commodity, a “safer” hire than recent graduates from brick and mortar universities.

I am an Elementary Special Education (CI) major at a small University. I’m currently in an Educational Psychology class and working on a 25 page paper on the topic "Is Parental Involvement always beneficial for students". Have you ever had to write something this long? For what class? What was the specific topic? Should I get used to this long of essays?

I wrote a 79 page lab report on gamma ray spectroscopy in my junior year of undergraduate, single spaced, compact figures and tables. It was for a radiation detection and measurement class, and specific topic was on gamma ray measurments of 7 radionuclides using a scintillating tube. Since this, I have written a whole lot of 30-40 page lab reports. I do not know about your major, but if you were in engineering, i would say you have not seen anything yet. I was not crazy either, everyone’s reports were of similar length, but maybe we were all just crazy. I also type up (physics) assignments for a particular class I am taking, they are usually 20 pages. In previous classes, some of my handwritten work including assignments and exams (i have small handwriting) have been 30 page average, and as long as 40-some pages. LOL at college. No one knows the work we do because no one is willing to believe it, i am not exaggerating, but it likely seems like i am. maybe i should just end this with, instead, LOL life.
