What universities offer online courses in renewable energy or green related fileds?

with 2 comments

I am interested in the renewable energy, green field, etc. And i want to know if there are some Universities offering these kind of online courses.

All courses and degrees dealing with "renewable energy" or "green field" without prerequisite degrees in Science or Engineering are bullbleep.

Students need a background in Science or Engineering (preferably Engineering) before they can understand energy issues. Otherwise, graduates of these phony courses just become loud and ignorant shrieking nuisances.

What are the best online universities that offer masters degrees?

with 5 comments

I would like to get an online masters degree in marketing. What are the best online universities? Are there any reputable conventional Universities that offer full degrees online? Harvard offers online courses, some of which could be counted towards a masters degree, but does not offer a full degree online.
I am not a residence of the US and not able to travel to attend regular courses but I am able to travel for tests.
I guess I’m looking for a good marketing masters program from a reputable University.

I am not aware of a top school that offers an online masters degree specifically in marketing. However, you may be able to get a degree in a closely related field depending on what area of marketing you want to pursue. So this answer is going to be geared toward Universities with an excellent reputation.

Harvard’s Extension School has some programs that only require that you take a single class in person. If you plan your course work carefully, you can take a summer session class and only have to be in Cambridge for 8 weeks. So the amount of time you’d need to be in the US would be minimal. If you can travel for tests, this might work out for you. Also, Harvard’s Extension School seems to have some of the lowest tuition of any reputable online school, so you might actually come out ahead financially over some of the other options. Generally you should expect to spend about $18,000 to $20,000 on tuition.

Here is some information about the Harvard Extension School experience:

Another place you might look is Penn State. Many of their programs require some type of residency. The MBA program requires you to come for two week long classes. Still, if you can travel for tests, this is probably doable. The cost will probably be in the $20,000 to $60,000 range depending on what classes you take.

Two other places you might check:

http://scpd.stanford.edu/

http://www.cvn.columbia.edu/

They are both significantly more expensive than Harvard or Penn State. Stanford may require that you have a corporate sponsor. Columbia looks like their program may be possible without any travel at all.

Good luck!

Why are universities sending my 14 yr old recruitment letters? How do they even know who she is?

with 2 comments

I was just curious to find out why all these Universities have our address? My daughter has gotten letters from: University of Chicago, Rice University and others( i threw them out). She took her psats in the beginning of the year. Could that be why? Do universities send them out to all freshmen?

She took the PSAT and likely filled out the section that asks if she wants to receive college mail. It’s not a big deal. You should ask your daughter if she wants to read the letters before throwing them out.

Do Universities in the UK accept students who have a BBA degree without work experience?

with one comment

I have just completed class 12 and planning to take up Bachelor of Business Administration. Now, I want to know if it is possible to do MBA in England without any work experience (I know that it is necessary for most universities there if one does a B.Tech course). Does the same apply to BBA graduates? And by UK Universities, I specifically mean the top UK Universities.

Yes. You can study MBA with out work experience in UK or in a UK University in India.

How do universities value summer school english?

with one comment

I’m talking about undergrad Universities. Also, I’m specifically asking for The UnivUniversity of Toronto if that matters.

I am planning on taking grade 12 english in the summer because my school has 2 extremely cruel and hard-marking teachers and I don’t want to risk getting a 75 or something. So how do universities value summer school english over normal semester english?

As long as you do well in the class, it will be weighted the same.

So, I was wondering what do Universities/colleges in general look for a transfer student, and which makes them want to give scholarships to this person? =] thnkssssssss

What are universities with very good english and literature colleges?

with 2 comments

I’m considering San Francisco State University and The UnivUniversity of San Fransisco. Do those have good english and literature colleges? And what are some other universities with good english colleges? If there is a Study Abroad program, that’s a bonus.
I want to do more of a creative writing thing, because I’d like to be an author.

Unfortunately, it’s really irrelevant. An English degree has poor career prospects no matter what school you go to. Since literature is analyzed the same way by everyone, and since there is no cutting edge new knowledge being developed, there’s really no basis for competition between Universities.

ADDED:

I don’t want you to think that I’m just being disparaging. I’m just telling you what needs to be said. And I *am* sympathetic, since I do a bit of writing myself.

A degree in Creative Writing is a bad idea, for a few reasons. For starters, both students and authors have lamented that taking an academic approach towards the craft stymies creativity and turns passion into work. Also, taking classes can teach you the nuts and bolts, but ultimately writing is (as I’m sure you know) a product of the heart and soul. It’s that passion that makes great writing what it is, and no class can teach you that.

Second, it leaves you with no fallback. The unfortunate reality is that fiction writing is not a viable career for (literally) 99% of those who attempt it. There are thousands of writers, plenty of them talented, and the vast majority end up living in poverty since it’s so hard to get published.

That brings me to publishing. There are basically 3 factors involved with getting your work published, and you only control one.
1) Talent. This is the part you control.
2) Market trends. Publishers aren’t willing to buy into projects that won’t turn a profit, and there are always trends that come in and out of popularity. If you’re not writing what people are reading, it’s harder to find a publisher.
3) Luck. When you submit a manuscript, there is generally no sophisticated vetting process. Your work lands on some guy’s desk, he looks it over, and if he doesn’t see any potential in it then it goes to the reject pile. Sad, but true in many cases. There is a lot of luck involved with having your work land in front of someone who will see its merits. That’s why even authors who are now famous all had to wade through a sea of rejection letters before finally having their work published.

I’m not trying to tell you not to write. It’s a great dream to have, and definitely one that you should pursue…in the evenings, and on weekends. Realistically, you’re going to need a regular job to support yourself while you try to get published, and working minimum wage jobs won’t buy you a very comfortable lifestyle.

So, instead of studying Creative Writing, try to choose something that leads to an actual job. Even switching gears to concentrate in Professional Writing would be better than Lit or Creative, since it will at least teach you skills that are applicable to the real world. If that’s not your thing, pick whatever you want, just try to pick something that can support you while you write your novels.
