OOPS....that came out totally wrong! (My DD wants to do school) - college requirements
Misty Felner
>>>... from what I understand (not know) college has many choices and youlearn what you choose to learn in college and take required classes that
pertain to your degree so WHY do they place emphasis on say 'grammar' if
your child wants to go to college and major in history? I truly and
honestly don't get it.>>>
I'm a little behind on posts, so maybe someone has responded to this, but
there are certain requirements that you are required to take to get any
degree. A certain number of math, science, history, etc. courses depending
on your major. Kind of like other PS BS.

It all depends!

you like more easily than at a private college. I don't know how it is now,
but when I was in college each college that I applied to were at capacity at
the beginning of the school year. They have only a certain number of spots
available and they are filled each year, so they don't want students that
aren't degree oriented. I know that the college that I went to had a
certain number of spots open for the general public to take classes, but
they were very few and also came with a hefty price tag. The difference I
remember between my private college years and my state uni years is that
state uni I paid a certain amount per credit whereas at the private college
I paid a certain amount per semester and could take up to 18 credits (or as
few as 14 credits) per semester.
