Q: Please i need names of countries that offer free university undergraduate degree programs?
countries other than sweden and finland.

A: J is right. If there was a magic way to get this stuff for free with no conditions, don't you think we would all be doing it? Then entry would have to be restricted by some other means. Having said that, if you are an outstanding student and your family is poor, you can apply to Harvard, Yale and Princeton all of which offer needs blind admission. That means that, if you are accepted, your parents' income will be assessed in determining if you should pay fees. However, they are quite tough. I have a friend whose parents were not considered poor enough just because they own their house.

Q: I am very passionate about sports and music...what careers or degree programs should I look into?
I currently am in a job where the pay is good, but the work isn't satisfying. I've heard that getting paid for what you love to do is true happiness and success. I'm a huge music fan but I don't play any instruments. I'm a huge sports fan as well. What careers could I go into and what degrees or diplomas would I need? I'm 28 years old.

A: you could have a radio show, that way you could work with music and talk about sports...but I dont think that requires a degree, just experience. You could be a physical therapist for athletes, that job is always needed. It depends what kind of music you are interested in. for popular modern day stuff, you could DJ, become a record producer (I don't know what degree that would be). If you mean classical or other genres of music, you could be an usher at a theater (get to see the shows for free). For good pay, I think manager anything is not bad. Manager at a sports stadium, manager at a club, etc...that I think you need to work from the bottom though. Oh, and degree wise, I think that experience and enthusiasm is the best way to get into one of these careers. Maybe a business degree, or a management degree. (or a physical therapy degree)

Q: What College Degree Programs are okay to apply with to become a USMC Officer? I hear not Nursing school?
I am currently in Nursing school, and I hear that the USMC won't take you becuase that is a useless degree, and they would'nt be able to use my skills. Is this true? And if it is, what sort of degree do I need to get then? I was under the impression that any 4 year college degree was just fine... Thanks, -Katie

A: It doesn't matter....you need a bachelor's degree and the Corps doesn't really care what it is in. I know that Army and Air Force ROTC scholarships are given based on discipline, and the Navy has no requirements, but favors technical degrees, but the Marines just want a degree. I haven't used one bit of my criminology degree to fly helicopters.

Q: Is it possible to get degree programs/university in electrical engineering after diploma course ?
To upgrade the qualification, will any engineering college take a diploma candidate who had done diploma course since 10 years back ?? Or they offer masters in engineering ??? what ever it may be, what are the requirements ???

A: Yes. But depending on which Country you are in. Normally they need you to sit for their qualification examination to determine your grade of entry. If your knowledge is good and maintained, then you may even jumped to 3rd year. If is bad, maybe they will exempted you from some of the subject in year 1, and perhaps you may start from year 1. Often the case i see my friends that, they will begin in the 2nd year of engineering studies, but there some year 1 compulsary subject you need to take concurrently with your 2nd year studies.

Q: I want to get a degree to write programs, should it get a software engineering or computer science degree?

Q: Are The De Vry School Degree Programs the same as a bachelor's?
Or is it a bogus rip off school? My BF is trying to get a BA in a short time.

A: I believe DeVry is accredited, however unless you are going into a specialized technical field, employers will not usually look at DeVry with the same regard as a private or public university.

Q: Are there any credible master's degree programs one can get into without having a bachelor's degree?
Perhaps I can use work experience and/or test out of certain classes?

A: Ha ha try university of Phoenix they let anyone in and have easy As from what I researched but only have a 16 percent graduation rate. NO you can't get into a credible masters program without a bachelors why would you want to. If you jump to that level without suffering through undergrad you will probably just set yourself up for failure. If you don't have a bachelor's for the job you have experience in now I'm pretty sure you don't need a masters to be at that level so why get one.

Q: Can someone please tell me a little about advanced degree programs or schools that accept foreign students.?
Currently I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management. I live in the U.S.A. and would like to study in the U.K., preferably England . Any school names or programs would be greatly appreciated. Serious responses only, please.

A: I think the best to do is to get into the web sites of the schools in England and see what are the requirements. Try Cambridge first. Is the school with the best reputation in England. I hope it helps.
