Even graduates will be certified as flight instructors. Enchantment Helicopters offers flight schools in Albuquerque and Phoenix. The company will also provide helicopters and flight instructors, while the College will provide the space and the class of degree. The number of helicopters and instructors based at the college will depend on the number of students enrolled in the program. Many of the introductory courses, such as school private land and the study of weather systems will be shared with students in the pilot program Mesa Air Group airline, aviation college coordinator Rae Lynn Shropshire said. "This simply adds another dimension to flight training. We're really excited about this," said Shropshire. The college hopes to begin offering classes that count for the degree of technology helicopter this spring. Shropshire anticipates approximately 7-10 students initially, with the expansion program in future semesters. Students will pay 's Advertisement Normal registration fee of $ 32 for each hour of credit in-state credit hours or $ 70 for out-of-state for the necessary classes. Must pay a cost more per flight hour flight completed, but the rate is not yet set, college spokeswoman Linda Baker said. The cost of the flight for the pilot program and 65,000 Mesa $, according to the program site. The need for helicopter pilots fly in the coming years due to about 60,000 veterans of the Vietnam War is expected to retire, said Christian. "There's a bit 'demand, especially here in the future," he said. Helicopter pilots are used in a variety of fields. Graduates can expect to fly for the services of a medical emergency, traffic news agencies, border patrol, construction firms and police forces, among other industries. Students will train with Robinson R22 and R44 model helicopters. They are the safest piston-engine helicopters in the world and about 75 percent of the jobs to use the airplane pilot, Christian said. Transition to other helicopters after achieving mastery with models Robinson also takes only five hours of additional training.

Education Expert recruiters a three-year degree
Robert Zemsky is only a scholar, he belongs to the same cohort, has not been studied with a critical eye for more than 40 years. Zemsky is the founder and director of the University of Pennsylvania, the Institute for Higher Education and Research current president of the Alliance of learning for higher education. In these and other professional tasks Zemsky, the delicate balance between a college or university Mission studied the entrepreneurial training and the need to keep financially afloat. Consultant partisan watchdog part, Zemsky advice to individual schools on how to improve, but it also means that something is wrong with higher education and how to fix it. Here, in a discussion with U. S. News, Zemsky talks about his new book, a labor reform: the case Transforming American Higher Education. Click here to learn more! Robert Zemsky Robert Zemsky Reprints: Q: How has asked to participate in the notations the influence of the Commission's arguments in a process of reform? A: I was an enthusiastic member, but a signatory of the report disappointed Spellings Commission. It has been said before the start of the book, I myself, 'Well, what do I know which is better next time, if we are ever so slightly' as the Spellings Commission has once again do I do? " and the answers to this question was the book. I learned that you can not write at university level, you can not change ashamed to be better, you can not beat them over. Even if you could starve them financial, which would only make them more modest. I decided a lot of meandering in my mind on key issues and their possible solutions, and that big, potential agents of change is a three-year degrees. Q: What's so great about a three-year degree? A: Right now, it takes too much time to students for their classes for what they will do a degree in four years. We created a structure of the curriculum in schools, is just nuts! It is about 50 years since I college, which is a frightening thought, but then we had a curricular structure. You have a first, B, C, and then you have, but that simply does not exist. Create a schedule of the college of today is like walking down the aisles of a supermarket, one of them, two to show up at the box office and get your measurement. People are lost in this whole election and the main reason why people take so long for their needs is incomplete because it does not, what courses they needed to take to stay in the race to clear it was too late. Q: How does a job of three years of graduation? A: In contrast to the supermarket model of education we have today, much of the curriculum required to obtain a degree-three years would be solved. As a student you get to choose where to go and your general, or field, but if you take a decision, do not want around. I also want to know what a Gen "and" to take over the last year of high school. When my colleagues tell me how absurd this idea and what they believe in the importance of gender and, let me say that I am that funny, because none of them can actually teach. Get High-school teachers to teach undergraduate courses, to be led astray before students through their three-year degree studies attack. Q: But what happens when a student changes his mind about his path? So many students, the University with undeclared majors to come. A: If you change your mind half way you will have to start over, but one must also bear in mind that the average time to complete college is 5 ½ years, so as not to waste time at the old standard. Q: Given three years of graduation would be a significant loss of tuition fees for colleges and universities, we may suppose that they would jump on board with your plan? A: Universities must take a big gulp and do just that. Yes, the front end, we are looking at a reduction of 25 percent, but colleges and universities are smart. You will see that three-year degree opening, a growing market for the master. Making-st more efficient for students means growth potential for the programs of the Master. It's so easy. Q: When three-year degree does not start, it throws some 'colleges and universities have discussion "on and support for the transition. What could be the spark? R. I write some, since the book, and I played a game of imaginary "It could happen, and if so, what should I do?" In the book I speak of the President always together all five presidents, but that's nonsense. That would never all. Instead, we make four states: California, because the public universities in terrible shape, Ohio, because the governor and the Chancellor must think I have to change the upper and, in Texas, because you either Florida or Texas, because of the multidimensional nature of their democracies Pick .. .; And New York, because his condition is excellent overall. Now imagine, [that] the chairman of the governors of those states, 16 education leaders from these states, other scientists who are speaking positively about three years of graduation, and the heads of four accreditation bodies of state calls for a withdrawal to begin process. You know, that is not necessarily a fantasy that might just work!
N.B.A. Players make their way back to school
Westbrook, a second guard year for the Oklahoma City Thunder, came to an end a history class this summer at UCLA as an NBA opens its season, Westbrook had been among about 45 players - 10 percent of the league - the gym Backpacks traded in the off-season. "The teacher has just called my name," Hey, Mr. Nice Westbrook. To see you. Nice for you to appear, "said Westbrook." I had to go all the way to the front and sit on the stage in front of the class all the time. For two hours. I could not sleep, could do nothing. For two hours. " The N.B.A. Unione ha iniziato a monitorare migrazione la classe di quest'anno. Murman Debbie Rothstein, director of professional development for the Union, said that the figure is considerably higher than before, even if he has the numbers earlier. For elite athletes, the seven-digit salaries ordered to return to college is an investment and a hedge against what may be an uncertain future. Chris Paul New Orleans Hornets re-working classes at Wake Forest and Westbrook teammate Kevin Durant ever further towards its conclusion in Texas. An amendment to the Rule League in 2006, stipulates that players at least a year removed from high school and will be processed at least 19th For many players who want to attend at least one year of college. The rule was the influx of players who entered the league directly from high school. But it could have an unintended consequence: Some try to finish what you started it. "I had classes with regular students and went to study hall and took the bus to school gym," Durant said. "It was everything I was doing than I was before. I'm only two years of college and three years removed from high school. It all came back pretty quickly." The average annual wage in N.B.A. is 5.85 million U.S. dollars, and the players are generally safe in the short term. Retirement is this completely different. It is estimated that 60 percent of the N.B.A. The players are broke within five years of retirement, and 78 percent of NFL players are bankrupt or in financial hardship due to lack of work or divorce within two years, according to a report by Sports Illustrated March. The magazine also reported that the struggle of many baseball players, after the financial retirement. "That's not necessarily working from a financial perspective, but it is the perspective we take with them," Murman said Rothstein. "Basketball is one of their passions, but they have others. What they need to become acquainted with their passion if they are equipped for basketball ready? Where are they going to make their brands more?" Professional leagues and unions have stressed education as a way to prepare athletes. Major League Baseball has set up the professional baseball scholarship plan in early 1960, to benefits and reimbursements to the players, many of whom are involved in their school or third year of academics. From 1962 to 1999, 69.2 percent of baseball players back into the classroom, "said Pat Courtney, a spokesman for Major League Baseball. Half of NFL players have college degrees - a higher percentage than the NBA or baseball, do not tell the players to professional football eligibility soon. Nearly 100 players back to school in the off season, the league and leads a management program with universities, including Harvard and Stanford. Players receive up to U.S. $ 15,000 for reimbursement of education. The best basketball players usually start studying if their populations are higher, often as early as possible in their academic careers. About 21 percent of the current N.B.A. The players have degrees, Murman said Rothstein. Some may not want to leave college early, but I feel obliged to help their families with financial burdens. Demand in the camp of the Union of High School signed players, players' contracts, that they will continue their training, should never the pro before graduating from the university. Some players groaned when Rothstein Murman they remembered when they are rookies. The agreement is largely symbolic, but some players take it seriously. The thunder and the Golden State Warriors had three players enrolled in summer courses. While some are creating building blocks for the future, others are fulfilled promises to loved ones or are destined to spend the first member of a family from the university. "I have a younger brother, and is an example of him and how important it is," said Westbrook, who has declared for the NBA season after his second year at UCLA The lessons can be tedious, he said, and it took a whole day on one side of the first document issued to him to write the contract. But he had called the advantage of participating in a university in which a number of NBA players for pickup games. Westbrook so easily back and forth by the court for the classroom. Twitter has recently received all B in its summer courses. Westbrook teammate Jeff Green took his class at Georgetown, where it undermines an English degree. One day he was sitting near the door, when a group of high school students passed. "A baby began to scream my name, and felt weird because I was trying to focus attention and everyone else has to pay in the class started to look like," What's going on? "Said Green." My teacher managed very well. He has just left and locked the door and went about his teaching. " The obligations of the sport and the school can sometimes collide. Vince Carter left the University of North Carolina for the NBA in 1998, but still continue to work toward his degree in Afro-American studies. In 2001, Carter, then a guard with the Toronto Raptors, was to juggle the preparations for a playoff game with his college degree. After the ceremony, rushed to Philadelphia to play the 76ers on. Carter finished the last stroke is missing the Raptors were eliminated. Fans and members of the media questioned his priorities, in accordance with this result. "The people who criticize me think, think with something that I, because this is an important moment in the life of everyone," Carter said at the time. "It is a person who could sit there and say that they lose their final exams for nothing." The distinction has a special meaning for Carter. Used for Durant, left the school after one season. It ignores the fact that his mother, Wanda Pratt wanted to return to school, but was consumed with raising him and his brother. "To walk across the stage will be as important as being prepared," Durant said. "Perhaps more importantly, because it lasts a lifetime." As another part of being a graduate: requests for donations from the alumni fund-raising office.
Wit, the team of graduate programs at Iowa
Western Iowa Tech Community College and the University of Iowa, have signed an agreement allowing Wit adapted to earn a bachelor's degree from Iowa campus in Sioux City. It was signed the agreement earlier this year, President Robert Dunk Wit said in a press release. The agreement allows Wit graduates who earn two years to complete associate degree programs in Iowa, including a degree in liberal studies, Undergraduate degree in applied science and nursing. Iowa President Sally Mason said he was happy to Iowa City-based institution may serve northwest Ohio. Dunk said, "The joke has always been the best place to start, and now offers the ability to pass the finish line with a bachelor's Hawkeye."
Zone delay degrees
The region of St. Louis is pretty average when it comes to the percentage of residents with a high school diploma. But when it comes to the part of residents with a bachelor's degree, the region sank near the bottom of the list, compared with large metropolitan areas. "It's a classic story of Louis," said Terry Jones, University of Missouri-St. Louis political scientist, who recently a study on access to university in the region. "We're not deep in the pack, but we are in the bottom half. And in most years, most indicators, we are far from the national average." A new coalition of business executives and nonprofit organizations, is trying to change that. The Louis Regional College Access Pipeline Project, which got off the ground on the first half of the year, has the lofty goal of nearly doubling the rate of completion of college in the region from 28 to 50 percent by 2020. MORE EDUCATION COVERAGE bullet Get educated in schools, the page STLtoday education, a permanent site for news of education, in St. Louis bullet following the Grade, Louis premier blog on education. The first initiative of this project was to commission the report of Jones to assess the current state of the region and efforts to address the post-completion of high school. With the data now in hand, the project is hosting a symposium average today at St. Louis Art Museum that organizers hope will be a call to action. Faith Sandler and Jane Donahue, co-chairs of the committee's project pipeline of the steering wheel, met after noticing an increase in programs to improve access to university in the region. The amount of federal and private money for such efforts has also increased. Programs for access to universities often offer students classes, test preparation and intensive counseling faculty who could not get in their schools. Donahue, but said the region lacks the coordination to ensure these programs are as effective as they should be. "There was no coordinated strategy and discussion of the community," said Donahue, who is also vice president of the Deaconess Foundation. "This is about aligning the efforts of good out there." In all, Jones identified 35 organizations - nonprofit groups and universities - in the region that are doing the work of university entrance or retention. But he found that these services are not evenly distributed throughout the region. The 25,000 low-income students in the neighboring county of seven, only about 1 in 3 of them are exposed to these programs. This is largely because many of the programs focused on the urban core in 25 schools. Meanwhile, about 57 schools in the region are not served by any of these programs. "Everybody tends to gravitate towards a relatively small number of public schools," said Jones. But many low-income students, parts of Warren, Jefferson and Franklin County, which are not the way to go to college is to receive the programs, he added. And in some cases, Jones found that various groups were doing similar work in the same school - the efforts of seven in Welding High School, for example - but were not necessarily aware of each other, he said. The Louis region ranks 24th of 35 metropolitan areas, the vast proportion of residents with a bachelor's degree, according to U.S. Census cited by Jones in his study. While the proportion of university graduates increased between 1990 and 2007, Jones said the increase would have been out of the increased secondary school completion and the performance of other metropolitan areas. Jones compile data from various sources, also points to well-established results, such as people with postgraduate school, on average, earn more money, healthy lifestyles and are more likely to participate in civic activities such as voting and volunteering. One of the speakers listed in today's event is Greg Darnieder, which was hit earlier this year to become special assistant to E. U. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan in access to university. It is the first position of its kind and is focused on the goal of President Barack Obama in the U.S. regain its place as the country with the highest percentage of university graduates throughout the world by 2020. Darnieder, a graduate of St. Louis University, praised the efforts of Louis gas pipeline project to date and noted that the philanthropists, business, education and legislative communities need to work on it together. "This work must be done in partnership," he said. "The challenge goes beyond the capacity of any K-12 system to solve this." Communities need to address the crisis of abandonment at the same time, encourage learning in the classroom and making sure more students from college to do so, he said. In the region of St. Louis, there was some anecdotal evidence and statistics that college programs access and province have been paying great efforts. The proportion of the region's high school graduates taking the ACT rose to 69 percent, up from 60 percent between 2004 and 2008, according to the study of Jones. And more students are filling out the software free of Federal Student Aid, which has been criticized for being too complicated. "It used to be a false barrier because that was so stupid the way," said Sandler, who is also executive director of the Foundation scholarships Louis. But much remains to be done. Jones and others, I regret that there is a good monitoring system to follow students through the pipeline from school to university to gauge the effectiveness of these efforts. "We have unemployment measure very carefully, but do not measure access to university," said Jones. "We do not have a tracking system. What inhibit our ability to know how we're doing."
A new report on higher education makes the link between access and income: students want a lower cost
A report released yesterday by the Ontario Council of the quality of higher education (HEQCO) made the link between increases in tuition fees and reducing student participation low secondary income, a conclusion which does not surprise students of colleges and universities. The report confirms a phenomenon that students have identified for years, namely that the costs of higher education represent an obstacle for students from low and middle income.
"High school students from families with low incomes or in rural Ontario should have the same access to university or college than children from higher income families living in an urban center," said Shelley Melanson, Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario. "The report concludes that more likely than high school students from high income backgrounds make an application for admission to university than students from low income backgrounds, and the gap is widening more. It is clear that equal access to higher education is a myth and that students need a reduction in tuition. "
Although it displays data prior to 2005, the report was released just weeks after the recent Statistics Canada report reveals that the rising unemployment rate among students in Ontario has been unprecedented during the summer. This reality, in addition to high tuition fees and student loans huge, paints a grim picture for many students hoping to study at college or university to improve their prospects. The fees that students pay in Ontario will soon be the highest in Canada because the funding for postsecondary education by the provincial government is still below the national average. Those who are lucky to study at college or university will face levels of debt without precedent that may be up to $ 28 000 for a four-year program. "If the Ontario government really wants to solve the problem of poverty and improve access to postsecondary education, it must invest in postsecondary education and reduce tuition fees," says Melanson. "If we ignore the warning signs and further indebtedness on the current generation of students and students, the consequences for the graduates and the economy will be disastrous." The Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario unites more than 300 000 students of college and university attending public schools across Ontario. Students plan events across Ontario to November 5 this year, asking the government to invest in reducing tuition fees and inject new funds into social programs to reduce poverty.

Imposition of tuition at college: Students Montérégie are in shock
The student associations of the Montérégie have spoken this afternoon, in Longueuil, following the adoption by the General Council of the Liberal Party of Quebec to a Resolution for the imposition of tuition at college. This new position largely concerned student associations, who fear that such a measure come to reduce accessibility to post-secondary.
"The establishment of such colleges was designed to ensure affordability to higher education, which is why, for over 40 years, colleges are free," held to remember Edenilson Castro, the Council of Student Life the National School aérotechnique (CVE-ENA). Note that this thawing of tuition fees will prevent eventual access to university for 6 000 to 13 000 students. "Some 700 000 jobs created by 2012, 210 000 require a more specialized degree. This is no time to further reduce access to higher education!" Said Leo Blouin-Office, the Coalition of students and college students of St. Hyacinthe (RÉÉCSH). "The loans and grants do not always take account of actual needs of current students, and there is talk of imposing fees in college. It's completely irresponsible for the government!", Declared Marie-Eve Bujold, of the General Association of Students of the College Edouard-Montpetit (AGECEM). The Quebec program of AFE includes a family of two parents and two children whose parents have a gross annual income of $ 30 000 per year is able to finance their children's education, a miscalculation that reduces accessibility program, according to these associations. "The college students work already strong enough to meet their needs because they often have no access to the loans and scholarships." Said Veronique Proulx of the General Association of Students and Student CEGEP de Sorel-Tracy (AGEECST). "The decision by the Liberals is a real stab to our members since such a measure would end the college for many. That decision is unacceptable. Mr. Charest should be explained quickly." concluded four representatives.

Rally for what matters - your degree
Competitors, the issue of $ 64,000 today (or rather, the issue of $ 2,075,000, assuming 25,000 students pay fees) is very simple. While in school, what are your priorities?
It's really the question that underlies all movement Rally4Talley and fee of $ 83 debt on the table. Now, you may not be sure what your priorities beyond getting through the class for three more days until Fall Break, but I can tell you what you already knew: the students come usually to obtain a university degree and all possibilities of education and diplomas carry with them. Votes fresh students should reflect this fundamental objective. Consider other uses of this $ 2,075,000. To start, we could put into our educations. The University has cut classes, increasing class sizes and lowered tutoring services on campus. We could put that money to undo some of this damage, especially for courses that students must take to graduate on time. Or he could look to build new premises for the classes of large and small, which may facilitate the demolition of Harrelson Hall (which Talley look attractive and modern in comparison).
We could put to better graduate programs. As Jeff Braden, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences said, colleges do not earn their reputation for their undergraduate programs - they have great graduate programs, which give them a reputation nationally and globally. You want your degree to count for more when an employer looks, especially when it comes to wage negotiations, right? Having the weight of a university and a permanent research facility is behind what can pass that, but it would take time to build that reputation. And contrary to Talley, you'll see the benefits. Either we want May to consider improving existing services to students, including those who have benefited from more direct way. Two of the largest are health services and transit. After all, a sick student is a person who is not (or at least should not be) in the class, a student can access the campus due to limited personal transportation is the one who will be several times the word "absent". And while we may not be able to develop the substantially any system with 2 million dollars and change, we can certainly begin to make some improvements. Thus, instead of a hospital campus and the monorail, we could see reduced waiting times to see healthcare providers and some routes with more buses that are not as crowded.
The bottom line is simple. At a time when the economy is still uncertain, particularly when the unemployment rate to 9.8 percent and the budget of the university is hamstrung by mandatory reductions of the state, do we really want to start work that does little to benefit students in courses in the short term and does not contribute to academic and research on the long term?
The choice is simple. Voting yes for a fee of $ 83 that will have minimal benefits for you as a student in the short term and long term, or vote no and demand that you get something that will benefit you now and give you something better than a little pride in years to create 30 from now on.

New York, Texas and Florida are the other leading states, in that order. The usefulness of these programs extends beyond the creation of games, the ESA also said a survey revealed that 70 percent of "large employers" use some form of interactive software, including games, in employee training. Among them, three quarters plan to expand their use of these methods in the next three to five years. Like any other field growing and popular, graduates can certainly expect to find an environment of 'competitive jobs. But the growth and integration of programs specially designed for game development televised acceptance deepening of industry and impact by large companies in America.

MacEwan University will not change its orientation
Grant MacEwan College should change its name to Grant MacEwan University in an announcement today with Premier Ed Stelmach and Minister of Higher Education, Doug Horner.
The directors were asked to change the name in June last, and their sister in Mount Royal College in Calgary became the University September 3. "Change of name does not change who you are," said Eric Young, chair of the board of governors. "We go not to become a research institution." Students have mixed reactions, some worried the school is leaving its roots. "I'm worried about class sizes will explode," said Janet Kelly physiotherapy student.
"It could become more competitive to get into because they have only so much space," said her friend, Heather Franz. But it was for a name change of all, because it could MacEwan help develop. Currently, students can obtain degrees from two years to MacEwan to be an assistant physical therapy, but have to transfer to university if they want the degree necessary to become a physiotherapist.
The name of the university really feels better, "said Karlie Ring, following a degree in social work. "It looks better on a resume." The decision to seek university status is lowered the prestige and perception, "said Young. In Canada, there is less respect for the way that college is located in the United States or Great Britain, he said. Here, a college diploma is despised by some students and other universities, even if a degree from either a college or university must be approved by the council of the same quality of provincially appointed.
Critics have accused MacEwan planning to abandon its certificate programs and diploma, but Young said MacEwan not trying to abandon all programs. "As long as there is a demand for these programs will be offered." As for abandoning the roots of the institution as a community college, he said, "I do not know that the roots are not necessarily exactly what you offer. The roots in this culture to be a very focused student on the institution. Our priority is our students. "
The college has launched four-year arts degree in 2006, and added others in nursing, business, child care and youth, and now science. The name change is "just official recognition of what we have done for some time," said Jerry Zdril, director of the Faculty Association. Faculty in the curriculum are already required to do more research, even if they are prohibited by the province to the joint research strictly enforced in institutions like the University of Alberta. But for more than 50,000 alumni of the college, the name change can not do much, at least not without avoiding a curriculum vitae, "said Barbara North, who holds workshops for curricula vitae and employment for BGS Enterprises Edmonton. "People can not go wrong. They are all university graduates at once, "she said. It would still write Grant MacEwan College, then add in brackets "now a university" in a CV. "The institution is really minor. This is the program that counts".
MacEwan was founded in 1971 as Grant MacEwan Community College, named after the former Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. The college has abandoned the term "community" in 1999.

Four years of overstated Louisiana, an official said
Louisiana has a "surplus" of college graduates get a traditional four-year degrees should steer more people into the community and technical college programs to meet the future demand for jobs, a top official hand-d ' implementation of state said Monday.
Curt Eysink.gifCurt Eysink Eysink, Executive Director of the Commission of the workforce in Louisiana, incorporates the projections of occupations that show the state produce over 10,312 graduates from four years ago of job openings between 2008 and 2016, while at the same time there are 3892 more jobs available requiring associate or technical degrees than people to fill them. "We produce a workforce that we can not use in Louisiana," said the Eysink Louisiana Postsecondary Education Review Commission, which seeks ways to reform the state system of higher education.
The panel was created by the Legislature this year and should generate a plan for the Board of Governors February 12 with an overview of proposed changes to state colleges and universities. Gov. Bobby Jindal has asked the group to identify $ 146 million in possible budget reductions that the state is preparing for years of expected budget deficits resulting from stagnant revenue and rising costs.Eysink cited forecasting models that show the top growth occupations state of being low-skilled service jobs in the industry as ticket-takers, cashiers and representatives of customer service and more jobs skilled as nurses, teachers and trades such as welders and carpenteSeveral committee members were not satisfied with the prospect that Louisiana already trails the rest of the South and the nation as a whole in almost all education indicators, including percentage of population with a college diploma. Only 21 percent of Louisiana residents aged 25 to 64 have a four-year degree or more, compared to 26.4 percent for South and 29 percent of the nation as a whole. To say that a state has too many graduates of four-year "is to tell a rich guy, he has too much money," said Artis Terrell of Shreveport, a key element in the Williams Capital Group . 'Can you ever have too many four years leading up to the year? "
Others said the state needs to get better at providing jobs that would keep the graduates to pursue jobs in other states.
"Louisiana is losing much of its best educated people because it does not include jobs that are most attractive to them," said David Longanecker member of the Committee, Chairman of the Interstate Commission of the West Higher Education in Boulder, ColoThe Commission on Monday elected Senator Ben Nevers, D-Bogalusa, as its chairman and Belle Wheelan as vice president. Nevers is president of the National Committee of Education of the Senate, and Whelan is president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in Decatur, Georgia

University graduates heading to college
When Shyla Young Price enrolled at the University of Alberta to study political science, her career plans were fuzzy.
"I always wanted to have a hand in influencing the world around me, and I thought political science would help me do that," she says.
But when she graduated in 2003, she realized that launching a career would take more of a liberal arts degree. "I was so surprised when I left college and thought I really could not do anything." So, Young Price took a job as library assistant, where he put his research skills to good use and for a while, she flirted with the idea of doing a masters degree in information science. But it was an attack. "After a while, I was like, 'This is where I am meant to be." "
Now, after investigating your career options, Young Price is registered in a 10-month public relations diploma at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton. She said that after graduation, he will easily get a job in the broad field of public relations - and she believes it. After completing an internship for eight weeks, she is confident she will have the skills to start their career.
While many of Young Price's friends are taking master's programs, many of her classmates have a degree below the waist - a 32 per cent are working on a second credential.
Young Price thinks it's common for liberal arts students focus on learning rather than career planning. "They want to feel things and see where it leads them."
Teammate Eli Ritz found work after completing a Bachelor of Arts in English related to public relations. But after working a few jobs in promotions and marketing, Ritz realized his ideal job requires a specific skill set. A master would have required a serious commitment of time and movement between countriesso Ritz chose MacEwan. "I've heard a lot of good things about the Grant MacEwan program and I knew some people who had gone through it and gave it good reviews.
Victoria career coach Michele Waters agrees. In fact, few undergraduate students in general do much career planning before or after their degrees. And more and more college graduates are heading to college - and not graduate school - after completing their studies.
"I have people with master's (degree) who comes to me and said," I really think I should have a program office management 'because they can get a job, "she says.
For many, college can be a good decision. A diploma program can get you into the workforce earlier and some college programs - particularly trades and technology programs - are lucrative.
Trades and technology-based programs also prepare people for self later, says Waters. College programs also have the advantage of being fairly portable. Most allow you to work in provinces across the country. But he warns that water education alone does not guarantee professional success. Some employers are partial to college graduates, and others prefer four years in academia. "It comes down to a bias of the company."
Whether you have a university degree and three master degrees, the sale of his experience to his employer is the key. The shame that you took a longer route to find a career, or you have a diploma and not a title, is not conducive to success. "Be proud of all these reference points on the road, and the employer are included in it." A title is just to get a job and education of any kind is never a waste of time, he adds. "It's one way to learn about oneself and the world, and learning skills. And the discipline of going to university or college is transferable to the world of work," says Waters.
She adds that it is important to apply education. The people in the workforce in a variety of ways. "Education is one of the points of entry, but there is also the attitude and personal purpose. There are many factors that affect how the employer decides on a candidate." But in general, to avoid completing a program that does not suit your professional interests, or accumulate more debt than you want, keep others influence their post-secondary activities. Be especially wary of parents with the hope of living to their peers and too stubborn.
Also be aware of your reasons to continue their education after graduation. Some continue their studies to delay the start of a career, says Waters.
Especially if you have not received any career planning guidance in the college, take advantage of career centers on campus and co-op and work placements within your faculty. Postgraduate studies should continue to take some time off between degrees of work experience and perspective on how the world works, says Waters. Young Price says he does not regret his title - "I've learned a lot and I loved it," she says - but she agrees that career planning can make things simpler. "I think students should be a little more aware of the need to actually choose a career before (that) go to college."

A degree of security Offers True Employment Administration
Since the recession began in December 2007, 7.4 million people have lost their jobs. With nearly 10% of the U.S. population unemployed, people worry about their future and what you can do to ensure job security. A degree of management could provide the security they need - regardless of the industry you have chosen for your career.
How does a degree of security administration job? Many people who are having problems with their jobs or not achieving the expected success in his career did not fail because they failed to do their jobs, but also fail because learning to a successful business.
People work hard for the years of training for their careers, but when they finish school and the strike on their own often find that what they learned, was simply not enough. They can be one of the best doctors, lawyers, musicians, mechanics, computer consultants or specialists in the world has ever seen, but in the end, may be unemployed or working in a field other than their chosen career. They just do not know how to get customers, hire and keep quality employees, manage the finances of the company, or survive in tough economic times like we face today.
Others, realizing they do not know anything about business, working as an employee rather than the risk of failing as a business owner - the premise that if someone has a business and they're hiring employees, they know what are doing. As can be witnessed by millions of Americans out of work, the assumption is incorrect.
The only real job security one has is to understand the business - what makes it work, what makes it fail, and how to adjust business practices to adapt to the changing economic climate.
A degree of management covers all aspects of management - human resources, accounting and production to marketing and public relations. A management degree from a school with a reputation for making graduates whose businesses are successful enables graduates to solve business problems, regardless of industry, regardless of economic conditions.
Employees who understand the business and can contribute to its success will also be the last to go when times get tough. And if the worst happens, there's always space on another company for someone with a degree of administration and knows his stuff.
When choosing a career, make sure that the intention of obtaining a management degree. Knowing that you know how to do the job regardless of what happens to others is the only true job security you have.

They can be one of the best doctors, lawyers, musicians, mechanics, computer consultants or specialists in the world has ever seen, but in the end, may be unemployed or working in a field other than their chosen career. They just do not know how to get customers, hire and keep quality employees, manage the finances of the company, or survive in tough economic times like we face today.
Others, realizing they do not know anything about business, working as an employee rather than the risk of failing as a business owner - the premise that if someone has a business and they're hiring employees, they know what are doing. As can be witnessed by millions of Americans out of work, the assumption is incorrect.
The only real job security one has is to understand the business - what makes it work, what makes it fail, and how to adjust business practices to adapt to the changing economic climate.
A degree of management covers all aspects of management - human resources, accounting and production to marketing and public relations. A management degree from a school with a reputation for making graduates whose businesses are successful enables graduates to solve business problems, regardless of industry, regardless of economic conditions.
Employees who understand the business and can contribute to its success will also be the last to go when times get tough. And if the worst happens, there's always space on another company for someone with a degree of administration and knows his stuff.
When choosing a career, make sure that the intention of obtaining a management degree. Knowing that you know how to do the job regardless of what happens to others is the only true job security you have.

With the outbreak of course, the debt level is Worth?
It is no secret that students, no state or federal government, are those who pay the price for tough economic times, as throughout South Carolina and the rest of the country's growth in enrollment rates require students to think more twice before taking a load of debt that could take half of their lives to repay.
In fact, according to a Zogby poll released September 7 shows that a quarter of graduates feel that their diploma was not worth the price paid for it.
All this comes after a decade of enrollment in South Carolina far exceeded the rest of the nation, generating thousands of dollars more for students of government debt to be commissioned after the 'graduation. Officials of the state universities have argued that the peak of the lessons learned from 2000-2001 has faced rising costs and declining state support. While government support is not even a point of view of percentage as in previous years (at USC, the State funds containing 16.3 per cent of school billion dollar budget), it is also true that "Introduction of the South Carolina Lottery Education in 2000 -01 was a factor in enrollment and collection of taxes.
Before this school year, enrollment increased to approximately equal with the rest of the region - an increase of 4.17 percent per year at USC 1991-2001 to 3.53 per cent at Clemson for this period time - while the fund after the draw comes into play both USC and Clemson tuitions began to walk in pace with the South East, according to information from the Commission on Higher Education. Since 2000-01, tuition has increased about 220 percent to 130 percent at Clemson and USC. Just last year, the California-based National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education South Carolina gave an "F" in its annual report card accessibility of college.
With a class file freshman school at USC (5130) and the record number of students in total (20521), this means that the burden of debt for a degree in education was a high level - provided they are more career, what is certain to do - is about $ 36,600. And if students graduate on time, studies have also shown something increasingly rare.
These figures are alarming, not lost on Ben Fox, a spokesman for Governor Mark Sanford.
"We have repeatedly asked to set a ceiling on increasing enrollment and thus a better system coordination above and to avoid duplication and maximize the best of taxpayers' money "Fox said in an email response in Free Times.
"The fact is that you can have the best research institution in the world and has no intention of doing much good if nobody can afford to participate. Unfortunately, many of South Carolina are in effect market prices when it comes to graduate, and we believe that deal mostly with things like mission focus and duplication do more in the long term, demand more in terms of tax revenue, since we are already second in the Southeast as a percentage of our state budget devoted to higher education. "
At USC, Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Pruitt is well aware of the additional burden of higher rates and an economy of Dour have on the accessibility of college. A USC since 1983, Pruitt says the trend toward enrollment rates higher than had been expected.
"The interesting thing is that [the higher enrollment rates were] scheduled for 1990, as it turned out that subsidies for higher education are declining, and finally ceased to exist, which means more people were forced to pay the full market value, so to speak, and that's exactly what happened in South Carolina and also occurs at national level. " Pruitt USC takes unprecedented steps to ensure that takes its primary mission: accessibility, access and accountability.
"Most colleges and universities now require freshmen to live on campus for a number of good reasons, and there are usually about 30 a year or two, not because of financial difficulties," he said. " This year, for example, we have 150.
"What we do is to design specific programs to ensure they have the same exposure to students on campus, access to the same services and opportunities. We do not want to be invisible."
Additionally, Pruitt USC has extended its guarantee program Gamecock, which helps about 125 based on the needs of students a year, his ministry has grown from career services, and improve services to its programs as a bridge that facilitate students to start school two years then transferring to USC (which saves about half the people on their own university education there, "said Pruitt) and does a better job under advisement so that students can spend an hour or faster. To this end, Pruitt said the university will soon launch a summester, "which will complete a semester that runs in the summer so that students can move more quickly.
However, Pruitt recognizes that there are fewer funding opportunities available to students and their families than ever, while costs are up only. "People who relied on the use of their pension funds to pay for school, in many cases these have dried up," Pruitt said. "Many people use credit cards, but now their limits and interest rates could be very different five years. And there are many private lenders out there now because it should not be used, so many traditional sources are drying up and make it more difficult. "

College Rankings: Comparison abroad does not stand
ABC News recently reported that the United States ranked 15 out of 29 industrialized countries in terms of university degrees. Although these relationships can tell when it comes to educational opportunities in some parts of the world, almost did not take into account the broader picture.
On paper, ranking 15 out of 29 seems low, if not evil. After all, the United States is officially classified in 50th percentile in the lower right? However, in the case of this report, the information is not sufficiently taken into account so that this classification can be easily manipulated. For example, in the report, Switzerland is a country that ranks with the United States, the granting of 26 degrees for every 100 students enrolled. Comparatively, the United States granted only 18 degrees.
Switzerland is also a country with a population of about 7.5 million people according to the CIA World Factbook. In contrast, the United States has a population of over 300 million euros. As such, to accommodate this population, there is a greater amount of universities and colleges to consider and, if on average only 18 degrees may be awarded to 100 students, this does not mean that rings true average of all universities United States.
Even smaller countries contain a great diversity, in which a person may not be able to fully assess whether they have lived a life in this country. When the numbers as they are applied to them, not exactly account for the differences between the larger population of a country, not to mention the quality more minutes. For example, in U. S. News & World Report ranking of national universities for 2009, Massachusetts has two of the four schools ranked high in the nation. Since the retention is among the criteria considered for these rankings may be reasonable to conclude that the state of Massachusetts in May granted a greater number of degrees of South Carolina, which contains no classified in the top 60 universities.
Yet everything is still America. According to information provided by ABC News, were grouped together if they are successful or overperforming. Therefore, it seems only that Switzerland is better able to provide a degree from an American university, even if this university is in a state that performs exceptionally well in education.
If anything, these college rankings are representative of how the numbers can be easily manipulated. Although the information collected by the U. S. News & World Report is subject to error. For example, although the information reported by ABC News does not take sufficient account of the U. S. News & World Report is trying to cover too much in their various colleges and the rankings.
While fixing the criteria for the top universities can be difficult, those selected by the U. S. News & World Report for their national rankings of universities seem quite reasonable. In addition to the retention rate, other factors include peer review, resources for teachers and financial resources, among others.
Although the simple selection and compilation of this information can be difficult enough, without running into some problems may be more difficult to decide which areas should give them more or less. For example, a university may have excellent faculty and resources and insufficient financial resources and can be classified under a university that has a more balanced mixture of each. This classification could easily be discredited if the first was deliberately over-use their financial resources to attract new teachers to the faculty resources to ensure sustainability.
The opportunity to consider carefully whether at national level, which makes international comparisons is difficult. Why international rankings are more variables to consider. An example is the individual relationship between governments and their universities. For example, the ranking of universities internationally in May to assess the two universities in different countries, which are roughly the same financial resources. However, if the federal government of a country has no monetary resources for all universities and others, this may affect the amount of real resources of each university. Because the world is growing ever more complicated due to the expansion of populations, the emergence of new technologies and higher standards, it is encouraging to find comfort in cold, hard numbers. However, in considering these figures, the defects are found. With this in mind, while the rankings may be interesting, it is increasingly difficult to find the truth than telling a lie simple.

Moving into the 21st century college
In many turning points in the history of our nation, forward-looking presidents have made bold investments in higher education has paid dividends for generations to come. In the midst of civil war, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Morrill Act, granting federal land to states for establishment of schools and universities. The last months of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the GI Bill, veterans will have access to a college education and paving the way for America to lead the world and college graduation present. President Harry S. Truman supported the expansion of community college - now a number of vital importance of higher education that provides a bridge between high school and university and a place for adults seeking employment opportunities force. Due to the combined prediction of these presidents, the United States are the most diversified and best higher education system in the world.
Today we have reached another turning point. The world economy is changing, and the United States need to educate his way to a better economy for the 21st century. President Barack Obama has set a target that by 2020, America will once again have the highest percentage of graduates in the world. To achieve this goal, we need to put 5 million more Americans in higher education and to ensure that future generations will have the same opportunity to attend a college education and successful workforce.
The President proposed a comprehensive program to maintain a college education within reach, especially for the poorest households in America, and dramatically increase rates of graduation from college in the next decade. President Obama's agenda includes the largest increase in funding from the federal government since the GI Bill - an increase of 30 percent for fiscal 2010 only. In addition, U. S. President's initiative to provide the graduation of 12 billion U.S. dollars over the next 10 years to improve community colleges and help students access to higher education and ensure they complete their degree.
Beyond these investments in our future, part of the IGA has the potential to have a lasting impact on the future of higher education: The president proposes to invest 500 million U.S. dollars during the 10 years to create the world of online college classes and high school courses that will be available to all 24/7/365. Colleges, universities, publishing houses, other institutions and consortia will be invited to compete online to create the state of the art on-line courses that combine high quality experience with the subject most recent advances in science cognitive and computer science. These courses allow students to move through the material at their own pace. When students do not understand a particular lesson or concept, carefully designed assessments will identify gaps in their learning. They learn the material again and have another opportunity to demonstrate mastery.

Diploma Supplement issued in German can
Bachelor's students can select their best issue the Diploma Supplement also in German. By default, the explanatory information on the graduate will be written in English, such as the Rectors' Conference (HRK) in Bonn said.
The best way was to provide them separately to the German version. Then, job seekers may, in its application folder, depending on the company, the English or German version to add to her testimony. A bilingual document is the worse choice: It makes it more difficult readability, if the language of the text changes constantly. The Diploma Supplement should be issued since 2005, all graduates of charge from the universities. It serves to make employers understand what they have learned in their study candidates.

College degree not always lead to wealth
A college degree is actually achieved a satisfactory text, but this is not the key to wealth and success
My father was a plumber. He did not finish high school. However, he finally learned apprentice plumber in the techniques of the pipe as he liked.
He was a master of his art honestly and thoroughly with something that has done its job.
Civilization as we know it would not exist without the artisans and craftsmen who keep our infrastructure intact. Few of us can replace a faucet washer, and stop the leak. Education is a privilege not a right. Every privilege comes responsibility. Several agencies continue to play a college degree, promoting them as the ultimate solution to all our problems, if common sense, if it still exists, goes very far in solving problems.
Dad did not want me for a plumber. I have a doctorate and has never been so much money with all degrees, as with his heart and hands.

Establish tuition at college is an aberration
The National Federation of Teachers of Quebec, representing 80% of teachers in colleges, denounced the guidelines put forward at the general council of the Liberal Party to the effect to introduce tuition fees for college.
The Vice-President FNEEQ Micheline Thibodeau, reacted strongly with the guidelines of the Liberal Party made public this weekend. "The idea is not news," she said.
FNEEQ has always taken a stand in favor of the accessibility to the widest possible education, which involves free training quality, and at all levels. Micheline Thibodeau said that the establishment of the college system has greatly contributed to the democratization of education and imposition of fees would jeopardize the accessibility to higher education throughout the province. In addition, the FNEEQ, there is no ambiguity: "while the needs of graduates holding a CED are growing, imposing tuition fees would send a very strange message, namely that education is a luxury and not a fundamental right. In education, the principle input from the user-payer has no place "concludes Micheline Thibodeau.
