Undergraduate degree

Most people who become a sports reporter only get a bachelor’s degree in college. About four years of schooling is necessary in order to achieve that. A student must have 72 hours that are not major specific and a minimum of 120 total hours to graduate from ASU. A few classes that are required for getting a degree in sports reporting would be Multimedia Reporting, Sportscasting, Sports Production, and Advanced Reporting. All of these classes…

While this doctrine supports America’s foundational principle of equal opportunities for everyone, it is also sending a distorted message. This mentality creates the illusion that everyone can reach levels of success once they have a degree, but this is not always the case. When colleges depict their success rates, they are focusing on a handful of thriving students who have a natural inclination to work hard and do well. But individuals fail to remember that in order to be as successful…

As a DNA day ambassador, visiting high school classrooms and speaking about research opportunities at the University of Kansas including ways to get involved in science programs and activities, I was particularly astounded with how one session related to my own history. Entering the classroom and anticipating 25-30 students, only about eight were present. The teacher expected my confusion as this was not the estimated number. Rather than requiring her whole class to attend the workshop, she made…

how to write grants. If we look at grants as a form of social, symbolic, and cultural capital (Allan, 2011, pg. 421), we can see that only certain individuals ever have an early experience writing one. Grant writing is not something that most undergraduate students participate in. Even as graduate students, unless a grad student works on a grant with a professor, it is unlikely that it will be a familiar experience. Who are those that are able to navigate the experiences of having a close enough…

education provides people with a higher potential standard of living, greater satisfaction in their career, and a robust investment. The value of receiving a college education is overwhelmingly beneficial. The most undeniable benefit of a college degree is by far the higher potential standard of living. U.S. jobs are classified into 5 zones by the Occupational Information Network based off various stipulations,…

Mechanical Engineer With a Mechanical Engineering degree, it is so broad out with connecting to other different engineering jobs that it seems to be easy to get a job from how the outlook in the job market is growing. It makes me wonder with the knowledge that we get from our courses prepares us for our jobs or is it better for us to continue our course of knowledge for a Masters or Doctorate degree. With my research and interview, I have found out positives and negatives of what would happen…

1. What is Missouri State’s Public Affairs mission? Pick one of the three Public Affairs pillars and discuss how it will apply to your planned undergraduate education. Missouri State’s Public Affairs mission is a combination of three different pillars that establishes how Missouri State both approaches and teaches education for its students. The three pillars are ethical leadership, cultural competence and community engagement, but let’s just talk about the third pillar: community engagement.…

information that, at the present time, was only available through a library. These changes brought upon difficulties for the university employees, the students and faculty requiring library resources, and student relations, specifically between undergraduate and graduate students. These issues would ultimately be resolved and shape the future of the Davis Library, which is still a major part of the…

In 1989 at the Conference on College Composition and Communication, David Bartholomae and Peter Elbow began an extensive debate that would continue for years to come as to the proper method and focus of teaching in undergraduate writing courses. This conversation gained so much attention and popularity that both men ended up publishing pieces to help clarify their stances for the many who wished to explore them, and while each wished to argue his point to the best of his ability, they also both…

should go to college and what deems them prepared or not. In the larger scheme of things, is a college degree even the most important part of getting that successful career? That’s certainly what I used to believe and it’s…
