I want to study Fire Science and Entreprenurial studies. I am going to study Fire Science in a Community College and get an A.S. degree so that it will be easier for me to jump up in rank. But i also want a Two year degree in Entreprenurial Buisness, can,t do it in Community college because Fire Science takes up those two years. Can I go to a university to study buisness and recieve an A.S. degree?? If so, where and how??

Go to a school which offers a B.F.A. in directing.  That's a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and it's very different from a B.A.  You'll get more hands-on-experience with a BFA.  FSU is a pretty good school to look at.  Start reading books now about making movies and making it in Hollywood.  Skills: determination!

You'll get more out of your business education if you run that small business first. The everyday experiences in business will give you lots of context when you go back to school. It doesn't work as well the other way around.\n\nWhen people with no business experience go to business school they often have no real world understanding of what they're learning - it's all theoretical. Then when that person tries to run a business based on theory, they're just as likely to fail because that's not how small business works.\n\nSmall businesses work primarily for two reasons:\n- long hours of dedication to the business\n- getting the right kind of expert help where you don't have the knowledge (accounting/bookkeeping, or marketing, or sales, etc.)\n\nYou don't get either of those things by getting a business degree. Business school will make you a specialist in business theory, not in the day-to-day reality of one individual business in a specific industry within a specific town/state/region. For that, you need the real life experience and you can read the books on the subjects you need to learn, like marketing, or you can hire someone to help you with those things.\n\nIf you find you don't do well running a business (and/or don't like it enough to keep going), then you'll know that you want your degree program to focus either on some other aspect of business (because you like accounting, for instance) or to go in some other direction altogether.\n\nBusiness school is not a magic way to succeed in business - many of the most successful and famous CEOs do not have business degrees, including Bill Gates. When you have real world experience running a business, that speaks volumes to potential employers. You can always take night classes to supplement, then complete your degree later.

If you can find a place that'll do without first having a Bachelor's, then go for it. Most schools require a B.S. first, however, in the U.K. that's not always the case. \n\nMore countries a starting to do this, however, as it's becoming a growing trend.

FIrst of all on behalf of my brothers and sisters in the fire service, let me thank you. Start with your local and state goverments, usually the public safety sector. Also look at places like Firehouse Magazine.

Stick to education and get your degree.  Once you have your BA you can always go for a Master's in Business if you really want it.  If you are planning to start your own company, and it is related to the educational field then your degree will help. If you need to get a job and work for someone else for a while before you start your business, there are lots of jobs that are educationally related.\n\nIf you just want to keep going to school for a while, sure, switch it out and minor in education.  But whatever you choose to do, get your piece of paper.  Once you get out into the world, unless you are looking at technical jobs, you'll be surprised by how much the piece of paper means, but not what is on it.

You can do that, but it's not a double major.  The master's in law will have to follow the bachelor's.  As long as the master's is not getting a law degree designed for the bar exam, the whole run should take about 6-7 years so yes, it is longer and more expensive than a 4 year bachelors degree. A master's in anything is more advantageous than a bachelor's alone.  Be sure the two degrees complement each other though. I'm not sure how criminal justice and business law relate in the job market.

i went to community college for 5 semesters (not including summers).  I got student loans for all semesters.  They don't go by years; they go by hours attempted.  I think it's something like after 90 hours attempted and you still don't have a degree then they cut you off.  Or if your degree plan say you are getting a Bachelor's eventually then they cut you off after 180 hours.  All this is based on a 60 hour associates degree and a 120 hour Bachelor's degree.

I’m in the same situation as you are, I know its hard, and we have less of a chance than any one. But there are a lot of academic scholarships out there. You can also look for ones based on the field you want to study. I know here (texas) there are scholarships through the state to become architects and the like, but you must work for the state for the first few years after you graduate. There are many others like that too, try looking into internships over the summer, that always helps.

Many universities provide degrees in thsi area.  They often have grants available.\n\nIf this is not for you, or you can't get the financial support, I have another suggestion.\n\nLook for people in your area that practice Kinesiology.  They may need and assistant.  You could earn while you learn.  Let them knwo that you will work for a little less if they will mentor you.  This would likely be a much faster way to learnm and your boss may be able to expand their business once you are trained.\n\nBest of luck,\nJeffrey

Some schools do offer associates degrees in criminology and or criminal justice.   You could always work at police stations/jails as a  attendent (guarding the prisoners) and you won't need a degree..work for a while and they will pay you to go to school..  Check with your local jails/courthouses and ask them ..They would know more than we would..we don't know where you live or anything about that area.

Do you really think an employer is going to value a degree that you get without studying?\n\nJust go down to Kinko's and get one printed out if you want to do it like this...\n\n** UPDATE:\nSorry, I misread your question. Some universities will give credit for work experience but will still make you sit an examination to make sure that you know what you claim.\n\nIt is unlikely that they would let you have a complete (legitimate) degree in this way and you would still need to pay to sit each of the exams. Good luck!\n\n** UPDATE II (for Katerina):\nI was referring to degrees where they do RPL (recognition of prior learning). I know that here in Australia you can get some concessions for units in finance type degrees provided you can sit and pass the exams. Unfortunately they sometimes make them a bit harder than usual and you do have to pay a fee.\n\nMy point was that this would not be available for the whole course so you can't get away from study altogether if you want a degree that means anything.\n\nI get lots of spam in hotmail about pay for degrees like I mentioned before I reread the question.

Sunny is correct in telling you that you need only get your RE license to start selling.  However, what Sunny failed to mention is that these companies (at least the successful ones) will want you to have at least bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Accounting or Economics.  Most of them will want you to have your real estate brokers’ license as well.\nAlso, please don’t be fooled by Sunny’s flippant comments about just taking the classes and getting started.  I’m not saying you can’t do well at it, I’m saying it takes a lot of VERY HARD WORK to make your self successful at it.  I know several commercial brokers, and a few successful ones, and the ones that are successful don’t half ass it, they work 60-70 hrs a week.  The payoff for these few is Huge, I’m talking high six and sometimes seven figure incomes but you have to want it, and you have to work for it!\nI hope I have given you a little bit better insight into the world of commercial real estate.  \nI truly wish you the best!

Many for profit univresities like that have poor reputation with employers. You might be better going with a local universtiy with an online program. It should be less expensive as well. It's considered a "degree mill."

My brother got a degree in that area and never used it for that purpose - however - he has a good job.  A college degree and what you do with it is what you make out of it.\n\nGood Luck!!!

The larger public universities are normally going to have the weakest requirements. Depending on how low, you just may be out of the running. It depends on your grades too though. Maybe consider a 2 year school instead of a 4 year to start and then transfer to a 4 year to finish.
