Natalie - a B.S. is a 4 year degree, as is a B.A. - the difference is in the specialty. for example, my sister has her Bachelor of Arts [B.A.] as her field of study was in the Arts - music. mine is a Bachelor of Science [B.S.] in "multidisciplinary studies"Originally Posted by Trouts mom
Those things don't mean the same here in Canada I don't think so I chose other...I have a College Diploma.
It would be in history, I need to check on it.Originally Posted by GoldyCat
It depends on the field. My sister went directly from a BS to a PhD in chemistry. If you have a specific program in mind, you could ask about the requirements.
You don't necessarily have to have a Masters. Not in Australia anyway... The requirements for a PhD program in Australia are generally this:Originally Posted by Essayons89
Right now I'm working on my AA at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Afterwards, it's on to NKU to work on BA (History) and then a Masters and PHD. At least that's the plan. Do you have to earn a masters before you can earn a phd?
ever seen this? What Do You Do With A B.A. In English?Originally Posted by calico2222
I have a BA in English, which I have done nothing with. (yeah, by my posts, I bet you couldn't guess I majored in English!) I picked that because I love to read and write and needed to declare a major. I would love to go back to school but not for a Masters. I would want to do a short specialized course that would train me for one particular thing (ie, vet assistant, legal assistant, etc). I just don't know what I want to be when I grow up!
Me too!Originally Posted by peachytoday
Great poll. I received my bachelors degree in accounting from the University of Maryland.
