All companies will treat you and your friend differently, regardless of what kind of degree.  They treat you differently because many of the headhunters are different, and each one has their own way of hiring.  Although your Masters may seem very attractive, a person with a Bachelors degree may seem attractive too if they have contacts at the company, they have very good references, if they have lots of experience, and so on.  Of course, you should apply to a company that you meet the requirements for.  It is important to establish a well rounded resume that states your accomplishments, experience,education and different skills.  Most companies do not go into depths of what department you majored in.  They do however like to check out your GPA or grades.  So, i guess my answer to your question is, you will always be treated differently, but not because of your degree.

I am assuming you mean Master of Business Administration. I work for a university in Perth Western Australia and we offer this program.  It is one of our main programs and it can be done on-line for overseas students.  The prospects of employment after your degree are endless depending on what field of employment you require.  The MBA we offer can also have specialisations such as marketing, finance, accounting etc.  Click on our website www.business.curtin.edu.au/gsb and have a look.  Good luck. Jude from Australia

Really hard to make suggestions without knowing more about your situation. \n\n1. What resources you have available?\nHow much money do you want to spend, how much time do you have? Do you have access to GIS software?\n2. Do you have a particular GIS application in mind?\n3. Do you already have considerable experience with some of the tools? Are you working with some particular GIS software already?\n\nSince you already have a Master in Geography, I would assume you already  had a GIS overview and have worked with some GIS software, if not then you may want to start with a course which will familiarise you with one of the tools. \n\nIf you don't have a lot of money, I like Postgres and PostGIS. I seen some interesting stuff done with these tools. You more than likely end up spending more time learning them than with other GIS software because you have to do mostly self training. \n\nI also like the MIT open course software, the Urban studies and Planning class might be worth looking into if that your area of interest. There are other classes as well.\n \nER Mapper and ESRI  tools  are very popular and you can find classes at their website.

I don't think that will be a problem - your difficulty will be with the university with which you're studying.  Will they allow you to travel overseas?  Will you have difficulties contacting your adviser when you need their input?  How many hours during the season will you have to work on your program?  Consider all the variables - pro and con - before you decide.

No, you will be alright. Just make your mind open for new ways and always keep learning and use google for all your questions.

MLS, MA, M ed.\nWATCH OUT!  If you are a primary school teacher and you get a masters in higher ed you will never see the ankle biters again.  If you are in secondary history and get certed in a science you'll never teach social studies again.  Two good ones.  First is supervision, i.e adminisrative cert.  They will never make you be an administrator but you can go back and teach the courses as an adjunct.  Second is Adult ed.  It has nothing to do with primary or secondary but you can again go back and teach as and adjunct.

No, follow the requirements. Most Universities accept 3.0 but, attempt 3.7 at least to recieve a better chance.\nGet recommendations.

If you have a really good reason for having so many w's, it might not be a problem, but the school will almost definitely ask you about it when you apply...  Just make sure you tell them the truth, because they will probably contact your old school to see if you are.

I got a visual arts media degree. I started working as a customer support rep at a software company now i'm an instructional designer for a govenment contractor. My advice is to study anything you are really interested in studying and don't not do it becuase you think you're not going to get a great job. The job will come as soon as you find something you really love.

check with the university. your application has defintley not been considered, yet and if the university has rolling admissions that you are putting yourself at a disadvatage

IT is interesting, in that the skills you learned there can apply to lots of different masters programs.  For example, I know that programs in things like Economics, Linguistics and Political Science love to get technical people to apply.  But you basically need to find out what you would ENJOY, and go that route.  Don't limit yourself.  Lots of programs would consider you.

I think you'll have a hard time finding a job with a degree that has "Recreation" in the title.  I just doubt it will carry much weight.  If you're an outdoors guy, perhaps that should be the focus (as opposed to the activities you do outdoors).  There are lots of outdoorsy jobs, such as Land Resources, Forestry, Fish & Wildlife Management, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), etc.  I'm not sure how much they pay, but I know the government hires a lot of folks with these degrees to work in National Parks, so I'm guessing it's probably not too bad.

I am sure Mathematics and Physic are compulsory subjects and perhaps if you have knowledge in Computer Science would be even better.\n\nI almost forgot about it.I am sure you need Geography too.Otherwise how are you going to read maps if you don't take the subject.

The transferability of courses generally is determined by the college that is giving you the degree. Sometimes there are what are called articulated agreements with other institutions, which means that colleges have agreed in advance to accept certain courses. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely that your university would have a master's level research course articulation agreement. For one reason, most programs want to be sure that you are trained by their standards, and are unlikely to approve in advance other courses.\nThis leaves the option of explaining to the program director that you would like to take X course at another university. You would provide the catalog description of the course and possibly even a syllabus, and the director would decide if you can substitute it.\nBecause research methods courses typically are among the most difficult, I am sure that the faculty are wary about students going elsewhere to substitute such a course.\nSo, you can try the substitution route, but be prepared to present a compelling reason for you taking it elsewhere AND for it being a comparable course.

some programs have a summer and then two more semesters for a MAT. Certification would be about the same, but no second masters.\n\nInternship and teaching is usually required.

Here's the bottom line.\n\nYour undergraduate GPA will indeed hurt your chances for admission, and your APU Master's degree will not be taken as seriously as a "brick-and-mortar" M.A.\n\nBut here's what you should do in order to present yourself in the best possible light, and give yourself the best chances of admission into a well-regarded program:\n\nIn your statements of purpose (part of any graduate application), indicate the reasons why your undergrad GPA is low, and why you took your MA from APU.  Definitely mention that you worked full-time while an undergrad.  Were you overseas for the entire duration of your online study?  Did the nature of your work prevent you from having access to an overseas "brick-and-mortar" university?  In other words, was the online master's degree your only option for study, given your work situation?\nIf so, explain this!\n\nAlso, you may not like this, but in your statements of purpose, make clear your willingness to start at the MA level.  Most programs you'll be looking at will be combination MA/PhD programs anyway, so be sure to give the admissions committee the option to admit you at the MA level.  \n\nIn addition, be sure to submit a sample of your work (a chapter from your thesis, for example).  That way, any skeptics on the admissions committees will be able to judge the value of your MA from the quality of your work, not just the (frankly, poor) reputation of your MA program.\n\nFinally, in your statement of application, demonstrate your familiarity with current scholarship and theory as you delineate your research skills and interests.  Also, if you already have the requisite languages (I would imagine you already have Greek and Latin, since you did complete your MA), HIGHLIGHT this fact. \n\nOh, one further note:  what about your letters of recommendation?  OUTSTANDING letters of rec will be necessary in your case.  These MUST be from respected (at least reputable and published) scholars in your field.   If you can't muster three of these, you might be in trouble, so don't be afraid to ask the professors with whom you studied Greek and Latin, or with whom you did your undergraduate work.  You can email them, apprising them of what you've done since you graduated, and offer to send them copies of your recent work (like your thesis).\n\nI really hope this helps!  Best wishes to you.
