My interest in earning my doctorate degree in Counseling dates back to when I was in junior high. At that time, I was always the person everyone came to when they were having problems. This is when I realized I enjoyed, and had a knack for, helping others. Capella University allows me to achieve this desire, while helping me reach my goals. When looking into doctoral programs, I needed them to meet two criteria; they needed to be CACREP accredited, as well as online. In order to ensure that…

Many people believe that attaining a college degree is a necessity in today’s world. While others think that spending four more years to get a college degree is an absolute waste of their time. High school was such a tremendous part of everyone’s life. You made some of your greatest memories there with lifelong friends, learned how to stick up for yourself, and be a part of something that you will cherish forever. The greatest part about high school was that it was at home and you were well…

When looking for a career, many people research the salary of the position. Others research the job duties and daily routine of the profession. I had the opportunity to learn both of these things as well as other important things about Occupational Therapy when interviewing Ms. Kristen Dorwart-Marsh of the Regional Rehabilitation Institute in Rapid City, South Dakota. Ms. Dorwart-Marsh was very excited to meet with me and spread information about the career of Occupational Therapy. We discussed…

It is without saying that earning a college degree has been one of the most challenging and rewarding endeavors of my life. It has literally taken me twelve years to complete what should have only taken four.

As I approach my graduation day next Sunday, I sit…

During the entirety of my educational career, starting in elementary school, it was repeated to me that going to college increases your earning potential. With this in mind I was certainly going to attend college but I never really thought about it as a way to increase my knowledge and skill in a field I was interested in. Unfortunately, my family wasn’t exactly supportive. I am the first person in my family to attend college and have had to be financially self-supporting due to my family’s…

and a few degrees. One must acquire a Bachelor’s degree, though it does not necessarily need to be in psychology. After undergraduate studies, graduate studies are next on the road to success. One can earn one of two types of degrees: Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) or one of Psychology (PsyD). Understanding the difference between the two is quite essential to choosing which degree to earn. The choice is as simple as choosing between researching and practice. Psy.D. A PsyD is more ideal for one…

I’m fully surprised by the contradiction discovered and wonder if I could have been closer to reaching my goals, by better understanding the ‘why’ behind some of my answers on the Self-Esteem Assessment. Although, I truly believe that the results of this assessment, and my answers, would be completely different if taken ten years ago. This begs the age old question of “can a tiger change its stripes?” For example, question number 8 (What aspects of those jobs did I enjoy?), references…

UCSD’s Department of Political Science’s model of cross-disciplinary work, ethos on close mentoring and supervision, emphasis on methodology and multivariate analysis, wealth of world-class faculty across subfields, combined with the…
