...The expectations of students are much higher in graduate school. Many programs have a bi-yearly review process where your work is evaluated and critiqued. The results of this review could lead to your dismissal from the program if you have not met the department's expectations. Writing becomes extremely important as you prepare to execute your thesis in your last year. Projects and presentations are stepped up as well. Learning to do comprehensive and thorough research is a large part of what your graduate study is about. Research in graduate school goes to a different depth than in your undergraduate study and the expectations of your research will be high. Classes are usually smaller in graduate school. You can no longer hide among the masses of students that were present in undergraduate school. Class participation is counted as a larger percentage of your grade. Graduate students are asked to evaluate and form opinions and questions about subject matter and be able to discuss them in class. There is a greater sense of professionalism in graduate school. This level of education is where more intense career training takes place and you will be asked to conduct yourself professionally. You may also be asked to leave off your casual to sloppy student attire and dress in a more professional manner. The biggest difference between graduate and undergraduate school is in the thesis or dissertation. A thesis or dissertation is a large research and writing project that can be...

...The well-known Louis Pasteur eloquently summarized a monumental moment when she wrote, “My heart is singing this morning. A miracle has happened! The light of understanding has shone upon my little pupil’s mind, and behold, all things have changed.” I was born just 3 miles from the well where Louis Pasteur taught genetics to monks. By happenstance, I have developed a similar passion of enabling others to interact chemically with the world around them in a way that will increase their quality of life. (Not sure how to word that sentence) The ability to do chemistry affects every aspect of a person’s life. Chemistry deficits, such as chemical impotence, disturb personal relationships and can lead to feelings of isolation. During my work experience at a previous job, I worked with a young man-I’ll refer to him as John-who was born with congenital hearing loss. He received no speech and hearing services or help from chemically assistive technology until he started kindergarten. Unfortunately, he had not been taught an alternative way to communicate, such as American Sign Language, either. He was not given a chance to develop fundamental language skills during the critical early childhood years. At age fourteen, he had a significantly lower vocabulary than his peers, which crippled him in the general education classroom. Despite his significant linguistic limitations, John possessed an eagerness to learn unlike any other child I’ve known. I haven’t experienced many things as touching...

...I am very interested in the CMTI graduate program at the University of Rochester because it focuses on working closely with physicians to identify clinical needs as well as creating and manufacturing a design to solve a problem that was identified. After participating in research as well as working on various design projects in class, I have found that I am interested in the research and development field of engineering. Due to my interests, the CMTI program seems like a perfect fit for me. For this reason, I conducted an informational interview with a student currently in the CMTI program, Caeli Quiter. Like me, Caeli also was a biomedical engineering undergraduate at the University of Rochester. She pursued the biomedical optics track. Caeli...

...CHAPTER I The Problem and Its Background Introduction Education is instrumental in harnessing man’s potentials and capacities to make him a productive and effective member of society; hence the total development of the individual is the ultimate aim of education. Thus, schools were established in all feasible areas to quench man’s quest for further knowledge and optimum development. In effect, awareness to the significant benefits of education directed the school towards offering different courses, specifically in the tertiary level. One of such education is Criminology, a highly intellectual field, especially because the majority of the job’s responsibilities rely on determining and analyzing criminal patterns. According to Agas (2008), criminology focused on the study of crime, the causes of crime, the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. It also deals with the scientific study of criminals and criminal behavior. Criminologists attempt to build theories that explain why crimes occur and test those theories by observing behavior. This course focuses on such topics as criminal jurisprudence, criminal sociology, crime detection and investigation, drug education and vice control, law enforcement administration, correctional administration, industrial security management, probation, and juvenile delinquency. As such, criminology students shall pass all of the General Education and Professional subjects and undergo Comprehensive Review...

...| Undergraduate Program determines whether we pursue Post-Graduate Degree | Prepared for Dr. A. F. M. Ataur Rahman (ECO455.1) | Gazi Musayab Raffan ( 0910486520)&Mohsin Ul Amin Khan (0910894520) | Abstract The purpose of this research was to find out whether undergraduate performance and program of students reflect the motivation for continuing further education into Post-Graduate level. The research is based on questionnaire survey of fifty Undergraduate students from five different Universities in Dhaka. The questionnaire had 13 questions that were used to find out about the programs and CGPA of the participants as well as their plans for opting for Master’s level education. Since the survey was based on students currently pursuing their Bachelor’s we tried to know as much as possible about their plans for further education. In this regard we have assumed that the students who have planned out their further education in details have greater possibility of actually enrolling for Master’s level education. So we set the questions in such a way so as to reflect well the mental preparation as well other factors for planning ahead. Upon analyzing the data a correlation between the hypothesized constructs have been found in general. Though some questions had given us mixed results, taken as a whole the research does find a relationship between undergraduate performance and program and the continuation of further education. Acknowledgements Firstly we would like...

...A Veteran Serving Veterans: Personal Statement for Gonzaga University Graduate Admissions Jennifer Parache The servant-leader is servant first… Becoming a servant-leader begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first… The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant first to make sure that other people’s highest priority needs are being served. The best test, and the most difficult to administer, is this: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? –Robert Greenleaf Practicing nursing at a Veterans Affairs hospital affords me an immersion in adult and geriatric nursing care. I am a veteran, committed to continuing to serve my former brothers and sisters in arms. Obtaining a Masters of Science in Nursing in the Adult/Geriatric Nurse Practitioner track will allow me to meet a dire need within the Veterans Affairs health system, while pursuing my dream of serving veterans in a primary care provider capacity. The Veterans Affairs health system serves adults, specifically geriatrics (as of 2011, less than one in twenty veterans were under the age of 30). The effects of poorly managed chronic illnesses in aging veterans are keenly visible within my practice in the intensive care unit, and on the hospital wards. I want...

...Compare and Contrast Programs Report Abstract The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast two other graduate counseling programs to the Bellevue University Masters of Science in Human Services program. There are many graduate counseling programs throughout the United States that are worthy of being compared and contrasted to Bellevue University’s program, but only two can be chosen. The programs that will be compared to Bellevue University’s human service program are the University of Baltimore’s human services program and Southeastern University’s human services program. In order to determine which graduate counseling program is most affective, four key points that will be compared and contrasted for each program will include the programs description, the learning platform, the requirements needed to qualify for the program as well as the classes needed to complete the program, and the internships. A conclusion will be drawn by the author on which graduate counseling program is the most beneficial to future students based on the criteria collected to compare and contrast. Compare and Contrast Programs Report Obtaining a Master’s of Science in Human Services can provide a person with the ability to help others improve their lives. The first step is finding the right program that fits with the individual’s wants and needs. Although most the graduate counseling programs are striving for the same outcome...

...Program Guidebook Master of Science, Information Security and Assurance The Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance is a competency-based degree program that encompasses the main security domains of knowledge developed following strict guidelines for information security and assurance education prescribed by the National Security Agency. Understanding the Competency-Based Approach Practically speaking, what does it mean when we say that WGU’s programs are competency-based? Unlike traditional universities, WGU does not award degrees based on credit hours or on a certain set of required courses. Instead, you will earn your degree by demonstrating your skills, knowledge, and understanding of important concepts through a series of carefully designed courses. Progress through your degree program is governed not by classes but by satisfactory completion of the required courses that demonstrate your mastery of the competencies. Of course, you will need to engage in learning experiences as you brush up on competencies or develop knowledge and skills in areas in which you may be weak. For this learning and development, WGU has a rich array of learning resources in which you may engage under the direction of your student mentor. You will work closely with your mentor to schedule your program for completing the courses. You will also work closely with additional faculty members as you proceed through courses of study that are designed to lead you through...
