There are some great sites online, here's a few:

When you think of a BA or MA, that doesn't actually have anything to do with art as in "fine arts."  The line between arts and sciences becomes blurry when you get into the social sciences such as economics, psychology, and archeology. As others have mentioned, it depends on the school.  Some schools even have the option of both. You might need to take 12 classes in the department to get the BA and 15 to get the BS. \n\nIf you want go on for further study in that field, go for the BS or MS degree.  If you are just doing it for a college major and don't plan on getting a job that has a lot to do with it, then it doesn't really matter.

its a hell of alot of work to be honest, you would need to go back to uni to study, im on a part time degree course and it takes 5 years. you need to know all the relevant legislation & reg's.\n\nit is however a very good career to go into. you got another 28 years of work left, so go for it!!!

Have you taken Mineralogy? That is the foundation for all future courses. At my university Independent Study classes, and Environmental Geology classes, are Senior Level classes that cannot be taken at the CC level.

Hello!  Good luck with your quest for more education. I'd suggest beginning by contacing the university you are interested in attending. Most schools have a program for "continuing students." You can explain your situation and your goals, and find out specifically what is available to you. When I was a graduate student, there was a woman in my graduate-level seminars who was 82 years old!  She was a gem and enriched our experience with her presence.  Best wishes!

Your best resource for this information would be to find a large excavation Co. in your area and speak to the owner, or person in charge of personnel, and tell them that you are serious about get trained to work in that field, and you need their advise.\nI search the web for about an hour and found everything that I didn't want to know. Good Luck.

Your guidance department will have career profile exams. Of course the best way to tell is by trying things out and volunteering at different jobs. There is also nothing that says you have to only do one job for the rest of your life. My husband is going back to school now to become a teacher because he found out that he liked being a parent and hanging out with our kids so much. It's a far cry from the historical archivist he once studied to be.

If you have a masters degree then you can pursue a doctorate. If you do not want to do that then take some courses that have to do with your field. It will give you an edge on others who have not learned the latest things.

Antropology\n\nTalk to a school guidance counselor (if u are still in HS) or an academic advisor at whatever University/College you are interested in attending.

Start with a story.  You needn't begin with your childhood.   As a matter of fact, you probably shouldn't.\n\nThink about this:\nIs there a particular historian (contemporary or otherwise) that has most influenced you?  Was there a class, or a research experience that really crystallized your ambition?  Did you ever visit a museum or archive that truly astonished or motivated you?  Is there a particular era, or geographical area, in which you are most interested?  How did you first come upon this era or area of study?  \n\nIf you start there, you should find it quite easy to continue.\n\nOne more point:\nDon't neglect to mention your METHODOLOGICAL influences or preferences.   It is awareness of / familiarity with methodology and methodological concerns in the study of history that will make your personal statement a strong one.

Hi there,\n\n"Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession of engineering after military engineering. Many of the important things in our lives that we take for granted are the product of civil engineering." It includes the construction of dams, paths, roads, sewage plants, etc.\n\nEverything is clearly explained at : http://whatiscivilengineering.csce.ca/

It is a mistake to look for specific majors in Civil War Studies.  What you really want is 19th century American history, and you can major in history in almost any college in the nation.  The history department is the place to do it, but also take courses in fields like African-American studies, Women's studies, etc.  Look for opportunities in American archaeology (often in Urban Studies departments or in Anthropology departments) as well.\n\nAnd here's some important information.  Since you want to go go on to graduate school, your major should definitely be in history, and you should simply choose the college with the best academic reputation among those that offer you admission.  If you can get into an Ivy League school, go.  If not, choose the school with the best (nationwide) academic reputation.\n\nHere's a helpful hint for choosing colleges and universities to apply to:\nYou seem to have a passion about the Civil War already.  Look in the bibliographies of the best books you have already read for the scholars that are constantly cited.  Find out where they teach, and then go to the websites of those colleges and universities.  Find out how often they offer courses in your field of interest.  And in your application, be specific about your desire to study with these particular scholars. \n\nI hope this helps!\nBest wishes to you.

Try taking botany or art.  These are good foundations for the field you are interested in.

I would just focus on one or the other.  Civil engineering and architechure are actualy very diffrent.  Civil (structural) engineers design the structure of the building they use alot of math and physics to determine if a structure will be able to hold the loads placed upon it.  Architects on the other hand design the layout of the building.  \n\nI think your best option would be to earn a bachelors degree in what you are most interested in and then after you have a better feel of what you will do choose what field you want to get your masters degree in.  Who knows what you will want to do then.

I'm an old timer who got interested in Sri Lank forty years ago. I was fascinated by the Kandy Empire, the legend of Adam's peak, the singing shellfish at Lake Batticaloa, the construction of the ancient tanks among many other things. I read a book that I still find interesting called "Jungle Tide". I forget the author's name but he must have written it during the British occupation as he was English. I am sure there are many other fascinating archaeological and educational opportunities in your country, which, I regret, I never did visit. Still, after 40 years, my interest has been retained by what I read. My very best wishes with your project.

Yes, you can, but watch out.  I took my first four years at a community college, trying to decide on a major, and accumulated over 100 hours and an associates degree.  When I went for a bachelors degree in architecture, I was allowed to transfer all 100+ hours but only English, math and elective classes actually counted toward my BA.  All the other classes counted as my elective classes but not toward my degree in any meaningful way.  I was, however, allowed to enter the college in a transfer program which allowed me to condense the first two years of study into one.  That is not a fun alternative, trust me.  I suggest selecting an accredited (that's an important term, BTW) college of architecture and calling them to see about transferring hours toward a bachelors or masters degree in architecture.  Each college is different.  Some classes will usually be accepted, but I don't think you'll find a college that will count all toward your BA.  In architecture, it usually takes five years to get a degree.  Two years to get the basics, build up a portfolio and get accepted into the architectural program, and three years of learning the architectural field.  Most people in the college I went to did not make it past the first two years and less than a third of those made it to graduation.  It is a hard, but rewarding field.  Look carefully at what each school will do for you and look carefully at the school's credentials.  Good luck!
