i want to go into the film industry, and want to attend a university in ontario.
which one would be best?
i have about an 82 average. i get at least an 80 in every class except for math- which is bringing my average down. im trying to get it back up though.
thanks!

Ryerson. Here’s a link to their film studies program: http://www.ryerson.ca/undergraduate/admission/programs/imagearts.html

I don’t think you need Math for to study film at Ryerson or other universities in Ontario, but regardless, your grades are pretty good. Ryerson only requires a minimum overall average of 70%. But, keep in mind that these programs are still very competitive because they base a lot of their admissions on your portfolio. See the link above for more information about the portfolio.

I know a few people who are in Ryerson’s Photography and New Media programs, and they’re pretty happy with their decision to choose Ryerson over other places.

Hope this helps.

I am in grade 10 and I still have no idea of what I wanna become. I keep changing my mind. Am I supposed to be sure around my age of what career I would want to pursue later on?

And if I have a 80-85% average, would it be better to go to university or college?

At the undergrad level, a 4 year college or university are essentially the same thing. A university is merely a collection of 2 or more colleges and generally offers more majors.

However, do not confuse college with community college.

I have been accepted in to 3 out of the 5 universities i chose, one of these was a back-up but the other 2 have proven to be a dilemma. The question i have is in your opinion what factors should be paramount in the decision over which university to go to? Any help would be greatly appreciated

The professors were actually the biggest push in my decision. They were really great and interested in what I was doing, they make plenty of time for me. E mail some of the department’s professors from each school, ask questions about the program and what research or whatever that professor is doing. You can tell a lot about them from how and how quickly they respond. It really depends on what field you are going into, but look into how active they are, the department and the professors. You want to see a good number of consistent publications and research.

I am planning on going to Sacramento City Community college to major in Registered Nursing. I want to graduate with my associates but I also want to transfer to a 4 year university to get my bachelors, is that possible? The only reason why I want to graduate with my degree is so I can go straight into the workforce and have the option to go to a university.

Please anyone who can answer would mean so much to me.

Thank You.

I wanted to do that, too, until I realized that the 2-year degree wastes a lot of time. You can take the test to get licensed after either the 2-year AS degree or the 4-year BS degree. Here’s the catch, though… the 2-year programs usually involve at least a year of prerequisites and then applying to the separate 2-year nursing program, so that’s actually 3+ years. You might as well go for the 4-year BS and take the prerequisites at any community college. You would have to research what those classes would be specifically for whatever nursing program you would be applying to, but generally it’s intro chemistry, lifespan development, microbiology, statistics I & II, A&P I & II, nutrition, intro psych, etc. Once again, the nursing program is always a separate thing that always has to start in the fall, and in sequential order, and they will even tell you to not bother taking general requirement classes at the 4-year school. Don’t rely on advisers to tell you what to do because they will just tell you the general information and follow the general structure, you have to be proactive.

With the way it’s set up, the only reason to bother with the "2-year" degree is if for the safety of perhaps not continuing with school for whatever reason. But that safety costs you a lot of time, work and money….and you are taking practically the same classes that you would be if you were getting the 4-year, except for some electives!

I’m graduating in may 2010, I’m limited to the state of texas and I was wondering which university would be the best, and the college within that university. I was suggested by a texas ranger to go to sam houston or baylor.

Texas State University-San Marcos has an excellent Forensic Anthropology department. Very worthy of your consideration. It’s CJ program isn’t bad either. Great school.

Sam Houston State University has an excellent CJ department. Considered by some to be the very best in the nation.

Baylor has the prestige of being Baylor. Private and expensive, Lots of "braggin rights."

All three are excellent schools. You can’t go wrong.

Hello friends,
I want to go abroad for higher education. I want to get admission to a university of any English speaking country such as Canada, Australia, UK and US.
I want to pursue master degree from any recognized university.
What are the exams i have to face to get an admission to university and what are the procedure to apply to any foreign university?When to apply to those universities?
I don’t know much about these things , so tell me clearly so that i can understand.

I have another question.My stream is electronics.I am a graduate student.Can I study any other subjects in master degree?

G’day,

From the 4 countries you mentioned, Australia is most likely have the lowest cost of living, and probably the lowest tuition fee as well due to currency exchange. For Australia, on top of tuition fees, you will need to pay for campus fee (vary from each uni) and Overseas Student Health Cover (abt AUD$350/yr) and text books (abt AUD$200). These are the rough estimate of the fees for your study.

Before coming to Australia, you will need to pay the fee for student visa processing and health check-up. Depending on your country of origin you may also be required to take an IELTS test for proof of your English proficiency for application to uni and for visa (www.ielts.org).

You can apply for different Masters course, so it doesn’t have to follow your previous bachelor degree course. To be eligible for a Masters course in Australia, you will need to have the degree that deemed as equivalent to Australian Bachelor Degree. You will need to fill in the application form and send them together with the certified copy of all of your academic transcripts. If they cannot accept you for the Masters course, they may offer you a place in their Bachelor degree course with credit transfer, so you do not have to study from year 1 again.

There are only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

To find out the latest info abt course that you are interested in taking and where it is offered, I suggest you to go to the Dept. of Education, Science and Training website (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) or IDP Education Australia (www.idp.edu.au). It will give the list of institutions that are able to offer courses to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The info abt fees and requirements are available from the universities’ websites. Please make sure that the information you are accessing are the one for International Students. It will also tell you when can you start your course (Feb or July intakes). You can apply as early as you can, since the admissions process can take abt 2-3 weeks, depending on the day of the year.

Hope this helps. Good luck for your study

I already have a bachelor’s degree, but am looking to further my education and don’t have the time to go to an actual university. I have never done online classes, and am seeking some advice on a reputable online university. My focus is nutrition or health and wellness. Thanks!

You can easily compare info about these schools in this site - education.mypressonline.com

im only in 8th grade, but im planing ahead for what i want to do when i grow up. i want to be a History Professor. i know i need at the least a Masters degree but i am aiming for a Doctors degree. does anyone know of a college/university i could go to? iv heard UVA, George Mason, ect. any advise?

In most cases, you’ll need a Ph.D in your subject to become a college professor. You can go to whatever school you like and still do just fine =]

One thing you should note, however, is that most Ph.D programs in history require that you pass reading exams in TWO foreign languages (apart from English). It’s much, much easier to pick up a foreign language after extended exposure to it, so I would look into taking languages courses as soon as possible =] French, German, and Russian are all very, very good choices for this type of degree.

Hope it helps, and best of luck !
