What is the difference? My school only offers the technology one. It says you can still take the exams to become a licensed engineer. Will this make an impact job wise? Good or bad?

If you have a degree in mechanical engineering, can you do an M.A in quantum physics? is it about your previous certificate? or simply your ability to handle the following field?

I know this is probably one of the more asked questions on just about any forum dealing with technology or science, but I'm tweaking it a bit. I can learn a program easily. It just comes to me like math (most math lol). However, at times, one of two things usually trip me up: 1. I over...

I graduated with a math degree in 2010, and been working for my dad ever since. My intention is to get into a graduate program in international relation this year, with the long term plan of being a professor in IR. I need to convince graduate school to take me, because I have no research...

Do institutions which do not require master's theses allow scoring high enough on a comp exam to earn a master's degree without either being admitted in their master's program or having taken any classes with them? Thanks

It doesn't seem to be very technical. Seems more like a management/MBA degree. Is it worth it?

Hey guys! Basically I'm at the stage where I'm looking for a four year institution to transfer to. I currently attend a community college named Northern Virginia Community College and so far I have applied to an in state university - the University of Virginia. As some background...
