What should every student know before majoring in political science, economics, or international relations?

I know I want to major in something business related, but what are the best majors before getting an MBA?

I don’t want to do my undergraduate degree in marketing or business but I want a concentration of study that emphasizes people centered and economy based curriculum.

I'd like to learn languages without having to take a class because I can work at my own pace and study what I want in a language at any point in time. However, I feel that having a certification or award would look better on a resume than just self reporting. If you could give me ideas about...

Is a Master's degree necessary?

I am pursuing an engineering major and was wondering if I should pursue a Bachelor's degree or a Master's. Is it necessary for engineering students to continue their studies after undergrad? Also, is a BS degree a lot more practical than a BA degree?

I am pursuing an Engineering major, specifically computer engineering, but the program at my school that I will attend is not ABET accredited. Does it matter much? Will it affect my career path?

Do you have a higher chance of succeeding in your career if you choose to study at a 4 year school, rather than attending community college and then transferring after two years?

I am asking this because I am trying to decide between attending community college first, which is cheaper, or going for a 4 year school which I worked really hard to get into. There's a chance that I may not be able to afford to attend a 4 year school yet, and I am nervous that attending...

For physical therapists.. to go into programs accredited by CAPTE, would schools consider choosing students who've gotten health related majors?

I'm looking into physical therapy. The CAPTE programs in universities like San Francisco and Sacramento don't have any references on what majors would work well for the student. I'm not confident yet if I want to go on this field, but it would help. #physicaltherapy #college-recruiting
