so you finished a career, and you are studying another 2? how can you live like that

*Cascadia* · 11-10-2003, 11:23 AM

I have been in college too long. I already have one degree and going for another one, possible 2 others. My B.A. is in environmental science and biology with a minor in geology. My next degree will be a B.S. in geology. My possible third degree will be a M.S. in geology or oceanography.

3rd year college? You barely look like a FIRST year college student...

Could anyone explain the American college system to me? As for Germany we go to scholl till grade 13, then we have to pass the degree exams (three written and one oral exam). After that we have to decide what we want to study at university to become teacher, master or to get a diploma.
My subjects are English (my English is still pretty crappy though) and German for college teachers (I'm in my third semester).
I guess the American college is something between our grades 11-13 and our universities but I never really got it. ANSWERS, PLEASE!!

The majority of Americans go to public school for grades 1-12 (Grade 1 starts at about age 5-6). After that many people go on to a university at which they can go 2 yrs and get an associates degree, or go 4 yrs and get an Undergraduate degree. A small amount of people go 2 more yrs and get a Master's degree, and an even smaller amount go on 2 more yrs after that to get a PhD or Doctorate degree.

Of course after graduating high school, going to higher education is completely optional. Did I explain that well?

edit: High School is grades 9-12

I wonder if that was really a compliment...

@TMNH: Thanks for explaining, but I still don't know what college is!

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-10-2003, 02:07 PM

college is like university as far as i know

*The Defibrillator* · 11-10-2003, 02:07 PM

Oh, well do you know what a university is? If you do, then thats college. It's just higher education. We kinda tend to use "university" and "college" interchangably, but if you want to get technical, a university is a 4 yr college. Does that make sense?

Since i visit one myself, I do!

Thanks for explaining, I asked because a lot of people here tend to think that college is something like our grades 11-13.

words like that always amused me in spanish, like pegunta isn't pregnant, it's question, and embrazada isn't embarased, it's pregnant.
