If you've repeated math classes just at 2 year college and want to transfer to university but feel afraid?
due to, you've had to repeat math courses at junior college and junior college is supposed to be far easier than 4 year college , it feels scary to think about taking upper level classes at...
Hello! How do I know which degrees grant me elegible to study a masters degree on a different study branch? For example, neuroscience, is it restricted to certain degrees? Or, is it possible to attend a special program to certify the credits needed for a particular specialization degree?
My daughter got a letter of acceptance to her college of choice yesterday! Woo-hoo!
I'm so very proud of her :approve:. But...the house will feel so empty, I sure am going to miss her...:cry:.
Hello, I'm in my 30's and haven't been studying algebra, trig, or physics for around 19 years. Well, i just failed my second physics test and I'm pretty bummed out about it. However, I was thinking of taking the same class again next semester, but I'm not sure if i will do any better the second...
How much more rigorous are the science and math courses at a university compared to science and math courses at a 2 year college.
On this website called assist.org , it shows you all of the classes you would need to take at a particular 2 year college to get to transfer to a 4 year college...
It says on the engineering page at the 2 year college that, students who are studying engineering may not be best served by studying at that particular school, anyone have any idea why that might be

I am planning to become a physicist. But here is my question. Next year I will be heading to a post-secondary institution; however, I am unable to decide whether I should go to a college or university.

Hi, the deadline for applying to colleges is coming up at the end of this month, according to the counselor I visited, and I am at a loss. I am currently attending a community college and intend to transfer to a university with a major in Physics (I think).
I have completed all but 1 of the...
this may be too much to ask of you,
but if possible, please give me ideas,
have you any knowledge of anything in the us that will give one college credit for a high school student? not some trivial sh*t like ap/ib calculus, multivar calculus, or diff eqs...
something more proof based, like...
This is my question. I am going for a major in Physics. I am still in High school. Can someone tell me what were you grades when you got into either of those Universities? I mean your overall grades. List them out for me.
Also, Is it more difficult to transfer from an university to another...
Does it take longer to be able to transfer from a 2 year college to a 4 year one if you have an engineering major
It seems that engineering majors require more time at 2 year colleges than other majors do , is this true or not ?
go to an average 4 year college like the University of Santa Barbara , and have grades of C and just a few A's or B's , as opposed to if you have all A's and are going to Berkley ?
Really curious about how employers view grades and what school you went to in making a hiring decision
I've been looking into Stanford and the Ivy's for my B.S. in Physics, but found out about a college in UCSB called the College of Creative Studies. The Wiki sums up it's uniqueness, but I'm not sure if it's statement, that it's one of the best Physics schools in the country, is true. Have you...
I'm only a freshman in college so I still have plenty of time to decide but I'm sort of worried by my E&M class. I adored AP Physics in high school and I really wanted to pursue it. Now I'm taking E&M in college and it doesn't seem nearly as interesting. Could it just be because I already took...

Maine is a rural state with only a little over a million people. We've got some really expensive private schools, but I was quite surprised to see that 3 of our private schools (Bates, Bowdoin, and Colby) were among the top 25 most expensive schools in the US. Dartmouth is a bit further down...
Hi, I was wondering about your opinions and recommendations on some biology and chemistry texts, free or not. I want to use these mainly for review for college since I took these courses in high school with biology being AP. Since I'm planning on majoring in one of these, I would like to have a...
Hi, I was wondering about your opinions and recommendations on some physics texts, both free and costly. In about a half a year I'm going off to college, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for college yet. By that I mean I'm not prepared to make all A's, which I'm aiming for. But of course, my asking...

However, I am also...
I'm a recent EE grad and a I have a month to spare before work. As lazy as this sounds, I'm not too keen on working an odd job, or even tutoring until work begins. Spent the last few years doing that along with college.

Thanks for your feedback.
I have been doing some reading on Kalman filters trying to figure where to start. I have done some college level calculus, but clearly I don't currently know enough to understand the math involved. Where is a good place for me to start? I downloaded a copy of the linear algebra book by Jim...

This has to rank up there with the most ridiculous lawsuits. She paid $70,000 for a degree in IT? Why didn't she go to a vocational school?
Now that her name is public, I'm sure potential employers will be dying to hire someone that would file a frivolous lawsuit. :rolleyes...
