Is there a program where you can obtain your M.A in psychology in only one year?
I have heard from a few people that there is now a program where you can obtain your Masters in Psychology in just two semesters. However, I am unsure whether this option exists. I have currently been going to school for a while now, far too long than expected. It would be absolutely amazing to do this program if it does exits. I certainly can go to my advisor and talk to her about it but I figured maybe I can get a response off of this. Someone please let me know! #graduate-school #masters
What is the difference between getting a certification and obtaining an M.A?
This question has always seemed to bother me. Maybe it's just because I don't even know what a certification is. But overall, I would like to know the difference between the both and is one better to have than the other? Also, How many years of schooling does going for a certification require? Can you even receive both? I've only heard of one of my friends going for her certification in the field of psychology but never bothered to ask about it. #masters #masters-degree #certifications #certification

Post College Plans
In three years I will have a bachelors degree and I am interested in pursuing a Masters at graduate school. Many people are advising me to take a year or more off in between. However, I am worried that if I do so I will not have the drive to go back to school. I would like to see Europe and backpack through the country, should I hold off on a trip until after graduate school? I want to do as much as I can, travel wise, before I begin my career and settle down. Do you think it would be a negative or positive choice to take some time off in between school? #graduate-school #travel #masters #gap-year

How does a PhD program work as opposed to a Masters program? What does it entail?
Hi, I'm an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Spanish Translation & Interpretation and I'm interested in pursuing a Doctorate after I graduate. However, I've heard a number of different explanations of what a PhD program entails and I am honestly so confused. Do I pay tuition to be in the program, or do I receive a stipend as a PhD student? Is there an application fee? Will part of the program require me to teach at the university where I am receiving my education, or is that just a rumor I've heard? Will I have a regular, five-class schedule like in undergraduate school? Will I have classes at all? What are the answers to all these questions for a Masters program? I apologize if this is long-winded, haha! #college #professor #graduate-school #masters #phd #english-literature

How difficult is it to transfer from a university in one state to a university in another?
After receiving my Bachelor's in Journalism in Florida, I want to start my career while working towards my Master's in New York and plan on transferring to Columbia.

Even though it would kick start my career, I don't want to graduate with a Master's and tons of debt. #journalism #masters #college-transfer #bachelors #debt #new-york #florida #columbia-university
