What is Bachelors: Definition and 121 Discussions

I am currently a law student and intend to eventually practice ‘patent’ law, however law students are not permitted to sit for the patent law bar exam unless they have an academic background in one of the core sciences. There are specific degrees (or classes) which fulfill this prerequisite. A...

I will be entering my first year of engineering after summer and I have been wondering about whether or not I should pursue a masters degree or simply a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Could someone let me know the main advantages of obtaining a masters over a bachelors?

Hello I have a bachelors in chemistry and am planning to do a masters in chemical engineering. I was just wondering what the prospects would be of obtaining an engineering job without the bachelors in engineering? I am in Toronto if that matters. Thanks!

I was wondering what undergraduate work one should complete if they wanted to go into this field. Would a bachelors in physics be good enough to pave the way for graduate work regarding this? Thanks!

Which schools offer a bachelors in mechatronic engineering? Any suggestions? I've read a source that claimed that there were 3. I know one is Southern Polytechnic State University in Georgia. What are the others?

I am a second year AE major. I am also doing a minor in CS. I want to do masters in either AE or CS..and I am seriously not sure about which one to pick and need some help in deciding. The questions are 1] How well do these 2 subjects [AE and CS] interact with each other 2] Will I find a well...

Currently I am in my final semester of bachelors degree in physics. At the start of this semester I had 3 favorable options to pursue further studies in geophysics, condensed matter or accelerator science. So I planned to try doing a bit of work in all them. So I chose to do my final semester...

A friend of mine is a new graduate with a bachelor's in biology. His ideal job is in evolutionary cell biology but he can really do any kind of biology. He's searched exhaustively for jobs with no luck. Anyone have any tips on places to look for bachelors level jobs in biology? He's willing...

I've decided that I want to pursue mechanical (automotive) engineering as a career, but unfortunately my school (Emory) doesn't offer engineering. How educationally/vocationally feasible is it to major in math for undergrad, and then go onto a masters MechE program?

i'm working on my BE in mechanical engineering right now (and I've still got a ways to go) and I'm really interested in the aspects of physics that we don't really get into in the engineering program, so i started toying around with the idea of getting a masters in physics afterwards. i know, i...

Hi, im wondering what kind of scientific jobs in high tech industry would a BA/BS in physics be able to get into? I am really interested in physics...but i fear not having a job after such hard work because physics seem so impractical. Is this the same case for a MS or PhD too?

I'm finishing up my bachelors in Mathematical Physics in april, and haven't done much planning beyond that. I was hoping some people here might have some suggestions for what sorts of jobs might be appropriate for someone in my situation? The only thing I know is that I won't be going to grad...

I'll be finished my BS in mathematical physics next spring, and have been thinking about what to do after. One idea I came up with was to do a masters in Engineering (probably mechanical, aerospace, or electrical). Does anyone have any information on if this is doable? Will I have sufficient...

How do you feel about this? Good idea? Bad? I pursued this option in the mechanical engineering depart for which I am majoring into simultaneously graduate with both degrees in 4 years of coursework. The idea was immediately rejected by the graduate committee. The physics department however...

i'm sure this has been covered elsewhere in the forum, but what sort of jobs are out there for people with physics bachelors degrees to get involved in research if there are any? it seems like all REU type jobs are for students (which after i graduate i will technically not be). i applied to...

Okay, thus far I have two bachelors, one in philosophy and one in religious studies from a prestigious liberal arts college. As you can imagine, I don't have a job - I wonder why? : ) Anyway, now that bills are coming in and credit card inquires are being declined, I need to get serious and...

I am poised to get my physics bachelors, I just need to get enough credits to graduate. I lost credits in transferring even though I will fulfill all the physics requirements this spring :/ I feel extremely burnt out at the moment and the prospect of more school doesn't bode that well for me...

After taking some courses in math and physics through my work I have become very interested in getting a degree in physics. Problem is I can’t commit to traditional classes at a university because of my work schedule. I am looking at distance learning as a possibility and need to know which one...

I'm doing my bachelors of science in chemistry, but I may want to do graduate work in molecular biology instead of chemistry. Would a BS in chemistry and maybe 15-20 hours of undergrad biology be good enough to qualify me for graduate programs in biology? I will have a biology minor when I...

is a bachelors in mathematics enough in this day and age, or do you need at least a masters? what type of employment would a person with a bachelors in mathematics expect to find [ other than an adjunct professor ] i don't want to be a teacher.

I am doing a BS in chemistry and I enjoy the subject alot. I find the graduate level classes, based on their academic descriptions, to be subjects I'd really like to learn just for the experience of knowing these subjects. When I graduate I should have a 3.3 CGPA with B's in most of my chemistry...
