I'm almost done with getting my funeral directing degree in Texas. I'm gonna copy a list of links to various national organizations that can help, both in deciding if it's right for you and where the nearest school is.\n\nNational Funeral Director's Association - organization for funeral service professionals\nhttp://www.nfda.org/\n\nThe American Board of Funeral Service Education - accredits college programs in Mortuary Science, can help you find a school.\nhttp://www.abfse.org/\n\nThe International Conference of Funeral Service Examining Boards - administers the National Board Exam (which i'm about to do a couple of weeks, wish me luck)\nhttp://www.cfseb.org/\n\nThere's also a Yahoo Group for Apprentice Funeral Directors, but we have people who are not in it yet, just interested.\nhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Apprentice_Funeral_Directors_Support_Group/\n\nLook around and see what you find out.\n\nGood luck,\nHelen.

I've heard UCLA has a good program; one of the Marine Science Academy teachers at my old school took a program there. But also UC Santa Barbara, since it has the additional benefit of being right next to a beach. Also UC San Diego, I think.

Hi there.  I am a special education teacher in northern CA (Sonoma County.)  I have the "old credential" which is called Severely Handicapped (SH).  In order to get an SH credential, I did need a Multiple Subject Credential.  But the credential requirements have changed in recent years, and there are several ways to get a Special Ed credential now.  (Now they are called Mild/Moderate, Moderate/Severe, etc. etc.)  Check out this address for the California Teacher Credentials info for special ed:\n\nwww.ctc.ca.gov\n\nOn the home page, click on "Click here to find out how to become a teacher."  On the next page, click on "I want to teach special education students."\n\nI have had a number of interns and student teachers in the last several years, and only one of them had an Multiple Subject credential.   A Multiple Subject credential does authorize you to "teach all subjects in a self-contained class, and as a self-contained classroom teacher, to team teach or regroup students across classrooms, in grades twelve and below..."  Since most Special Day Classes are self-contained, that's perhaps where the CSU reasoning is coming from.  However, to get a permanent job in special ed, you would need a specialist credential.   And that no longer necessarily requires a Multiple Subject.\n\nIn the SF North Bay area, I know of 2 universities that have good reputations for Special Ed credentialing programs, and I am sure there are more.  I have had some personal experience with special ed credentials students from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park (Sonoma County) and Dominican University (Marin County.)  \n\nThe SF area is beautiful - expensive housing, but lots to see and do.  And I love the climate.  I got my first special ed credentials in Pennsylvania and in West Virginia, but I got burned out on the harsh winters.  I've been here for nearly 30 years, and it's home to me now.  And I LOVE my job!\n\nAnyway, check out the CTC website and go from there.  Good luck!

I graduated from South Carolina State Universiy, which is next to Claflin. It is not Orange County, it is Orangeburg. It is a small town and with so many college students there, you have to fight for a job.

I don't know where you live but I have a degree in Vocal Music at Kennesaw State University.  They have a GREAT music program and a GREAT education program.  It gained University status about 10 years ago so it is not as expensive as other Universities but is just being recognized as a school you would want a degree from.

Do you have at least an associates degree in nursing?  If so, contact the California State Board of Nursing. http://www.rn.ca.gov  They will be able to assist you in obtaining your nursing license for the state of California.  If you don't have a nursing degree, contact them anyways to find an accredited nursing program.  You should have at least an associates degree and have passed the NCLEX to receive your R.N. -Good luck

Polytechnic is just a term for Many Majors.  Depends in California there's two...CAL Poly Pomona and Cal Pol San Luis Obispo...Pomona is pretty easy to get into just good grades and SAT scores to determine what math and english you'll be in...and SLO is almost like a University...harder to get into...but yeah both are good schools...students study everything! from Resturant Management...to ALL types of Engingering stuff...to Art...to basically every major...except a medical program i dont think they have that...they have food science...but yeah you do earn a degree...and how long it takes?...depends...i know at Pomona...the classes are 4 Units and Sciences are 5 Units...and it's quarter system (10 Weeks) so you graduate atleast one semester earlier than everyone else...that's if you do 12 to 16 units each quarter

The thing is about online and other distance degree programs is that if they are accredited (there is a board for state as well as federal accredidation) then you can use the degree(s) you get to move up in a job, apply for a job that requires a certain degree, etc. What you cannot do is teach with it. That's a whole other ball of yarn. To teach at a University or college in the U.S. you need to have graduated from a degree program at a recognized University or college. Now it gets confusing with teaching credentials for K-12 teaching. You need to check with your state on the requirements, but most want a four year degree from a recognized AND accredited University or college and added to that they have othr requirments. Here in California it's called a 5th year, and then you have to take two tests BEFORE you can go into the classroom.\n\nSo to answer your question of should you take the class...sure, but it won't serve any purpose if you want to teach. Credits also won't be applicable to colleges or Universities. BUT, if you want to better yourself, or enhance your work resume, then absolutely!

You can choose to either go to  a private art school, or a public one.  Some good private art schools are Art Center College of Design, and  Cal Arts.   A lot of it depends on what your specialty is, if it's like Graphic Design or like, Photography.   You should learn as much as you can before  making your decision, because it's a big one. Try doing a google search on art schools in California.

If you were hospitalized...would you want your nurse coming in and saying he/she received their degree online?...there are too many hands on techniques to learn...it is certainly acceptable for continuing education...progressing to a BS or for certain certifications...but not for your entry level degree.

Yep the system is pretty pathetic.  The UK generally doesn't recognise anything.  Two of my friends have degrees from their mother countries.  One had to do a conversion exam; the other had to start from scratch as her degree was not recognised in the UK at all.  Bit arrogant.  All those years of study not recognised!  I wouldnt be pleased.

The problem with deciding for her is that she may rebel.  If she chooses herself then she has to prove that it was the right decision.  If you choose, she can go about proving that it was the wrong choice.  She is more involved and committed if you let her choose.  It's not the end of the world.  She can change back later.  Art school graduates can do academic stuff in college.  She's not really deciding for the rest of her life.  They change their majors all the time.  My boyfriend calls it "malicious compliance" which is what you often get when you dictate something like this.
