Posted November 9, 201014 yr We have a lot of bright folks here, just wondering what degree you have?
November 9, 201014 yr You should have an option for a JD. It's different in my mind than a Masters or a Doctoral (although it does stand for a Juris Doctor...but I don't think that's what you're going for. )
November 9, 201014 yr ^There's some debate around that.... but I think a J.D. fits well enough, for the purposes of this poll, within the doctoral degree category.
November 9, 201014 yr Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering from OU. I work doing rates and federal policy absolutely nothing to do with my degree, but I really just want to get the band back together and hit the road. :) I agree with AJ on the JD. They are touchy about their education. And doctoral holders would probably point out that they have way more education than lawyers..Probably should add a MD/OD for the med folks too
November 9, 201014 yr ^There's some debate around that.... but I think a J.D. fits well enough, for the purposes of this poll, within the doctoral degree category. I agree with AJ on the JD. They are touchy about their education. I wanted to be a broad as possible. :angel: Next time create your own damn polls!
November 9, 201014 yr Masters of City & Regional Planning & Bachelors of Science in Landscape Architecture, both at The Ohio State University. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 9, 201014 yr ^Now you might as well set one up for the LLM and the JSD and the PhD and the MD.
November 9, 201014 yr I think there should be an option for "Other" for specialties. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 9, 201014 yr See the last two post is why I have a Masters in Trauma and Violence Transdisciplinary Studies!
November 9, 201014 yr Well, I'll just lock this thread and make my own damn post because I ALSO have a Masters in Kicking Platanos Asses! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 9, 201014 yr B.S. Decision Science, University of Kentucky Came a few credits shy of International Business & Economics, about 20 shy of Art Studio, and about 20 shy of Computer Science :(
November 9, 201014 yr Decision Science...? Explain. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 9, 201014 yr Very well, I am reluctantly at a doctorate level, with a JD. Specifically Dual BS in Accounting & finance, minor in Econ, and a JD, all from "The" Syracuse University.
November 9, 201014 yr ^I also have a J.D....I was just debating whether a J.D. is a doctoral degree with a couple coworkers.
November 9, 201014 yr If you watched an entire season of LA Law, you have a JD, which is why I'm hesitant to put myself at the same level of some of my more esteemed colleagues that are really doctors of something.
November 9, 201014 yr From wiki, yes but no...I always considered it a Professional Degree but I guess I was half right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juris_Doctor Juris Doctor (see etymology and abbreviations below) is a first professional[1][2] graduate degree[3][4][5] and professional doctorate in law. The degree was first awarded by Harvard University in the United States in the late 19th century as a degree similar to the old European doctor of law degree (such as the Dottore in Giurisprudenza in Italy and the Juris Utriusque Doctor in Germany and Central Europe).[12] Originating from the 19th century Harvard movement for the scientific study of law, it is the only law degree that has a goal of being the primary professional preparation for lawyers and the only professional degree in law. It is a three year program in most jurisdictions.[13][14] As with other professional doctorates (M.D., D.O., D.D.S., etc.), a research dissertation is not required.
November 9, 201014 yr Bachelors of Science, Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering from the University of Dayton.
November 9, 201014 yr BS, Thomas More. MBA, U. Cincinnati. CPM, Xavier U. Clarinet. Never had a single lesson. Sherman: Is Decision Science a quantitative degree? Modeling and hypothesis testing?
November 9, 201014 yr BS Welding Engineering, The Ohio State University I didn't know you went to OSU.
November 9, 201014 yr Don't you remember when he was vehemently against the South Campus Gateway? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 9, 201014 yr Don't you remember when he was vehemently against the South Campus Gateway? DONT GET ME STARTED
November 9, 201014 yr LOL!!! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 10, 201014 yr BS, Thomas More. MBA, U. Cincinnati. CPM, Xavier U. Sherman: Is Decision Science a quantitative degree? Modeling and hypothesis testing? They can explain it better than I could have -- "The Decision Science and Information Systems (DSIS) area focuses on instruction that supports knowledge workers. Knowledge work aims to increase the productivity of individuals, groups, and organizations, and to facilitate efficient and effective decision making. The DSIS Area develops students' abilities to use quantitative methods and computer-based techniques to support decision making. Its faculty members have earned international reputations for cutting-edge research into decision-support issues, electronic commerce, information systems planning, supply chain management, and operations management." I had two offers when I looked for a job: operations management and web design/photography at a university. It didn't take long for me to decide. FTW, <3 that so many went to Xavier :)
November 10, 201014 yr BS in Architecture, and a B. Architecture from Kent State University. Recently, KSU changed their program and don't offer a bachelor of architecture anymore. Now, after receiving the 4-year BS in architecture, (which is a worthless degree) they only have to go for three more semesters (fall, spring, and summer) to get a M. Arch., instead of two semesters to get the B. Arch.
November 10, 201014 yr BSE in Biomedical Engineering-Polymer Biomaterials, CWRU. MSE in Macromolecular Science and Engineering, CWRU. Almost PhD (next summer) Macromolecular Science and Engineering, CWRU.
November 10, 201014 yr I added an option for those in my boat - attended college, but no degree. I left Kent State before finishing my degree - several reasons, but the biggest was that I had to take a break after a close friend was killed in a horrible car accident. It had been a stressful semester regardless, but when that happened I realized I needed to give it a break and if the time came, I'd go back to finish. I was also seeing my debts mounting from student loans so I started working shortly after - and have kept working since. I'm probably about a year's worth of classes from finishing but some of the classes I'd need are only offered every other year, usually during regular working hours, and then being an hour-ish commute (each way) on top of that - it's just never been practical for me. I wouldn't want to transfer credits to a closer school, and most colleges won't permit it if you have a certain amount already invested. It's easy for people to say "go back and finish!!!". Live my life and then realize it's not that simple. Sure if the situation was ideal, I'd go back in a heartbeat and finish but not having my degree hasn't been *that* big of a detriment. I don't lie on my resume, I simply say I've completed ___ amount of credit hours. Employers have asked, I've explained the situation and none saw it as a huge issue. I can't complain - I've been gainfully employed in a field that I love for 17 years, I've been able to do some really fun creative freelance work in design and photography, I've become a published author, and had one of my photos used on a TV show that's been seen by 33 million people around the world. Yeah, it'd be nice to have the degree, but there are plenty of people who need to go back and finish more than I do :-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
November 10, 201014 yr B.A. History, B.A. Political Science - University of Toledo, M.A. History University of Cincinnati - PhD. History University of Cincinnati - 20th century American cities and religion, w/ a minor in modern European history. All those and dollar will get you just about a pack of gum.
November 10, 201014 yr BSE in Biomedical Engineering-Polymer Biomaterials, CWRU. MSE in Macromolecular Science and Engineering, CWRU. Almost PhD (next summer) Macromolecular Science and Engineering, CWRU. nerd (I am just jealous)
November 10, 201014 yr B.S. in Urban Studies, in progress - exp. Grad June 2011. Followed by M. of Community Planning next year. Both at University of Cincinnati.
November 10, 201014 yr Masters Degree in Economics from New York University Commercial Pilot Certificate Air Transport Pilot Rating
November 10, 201014 yr B.A. in Urban Studies from Cleveland State... working on MUPDD at the College of Urban Affairs.
November 10, 201014 yr B.S. Communications Ohio U. MBA Cleveland St. My alma maters beat Georgetown and Wake Forest in the NCAA tournament in back to back years. Never thought that would happen!
November 10, 201014 yr I agree with the caveats about J.D.s (plus it would be interesting to me to see specifically how many J.D.s we have as opposed to doctors in the humanities, social sciences, medicine, etc.), but maybe that's just because I have one. B.A., English & political science (medieval literature & international relations), The Ohio State University J.D., University of Virginia School of Law
November 10, 201014 yr Double major in History and Political Science from Greensboro College, some "doctorate" degree from CSU, and a masters from the streets.
November 11, 201014 yr Bachelors of Science in Architecture (2007) University of Michigan Masters in Urban Planning (2009) University of Michigan - triple focus (transportation, urban design, community development) I ended up working at an architecture firm after finishing planning, but I love it. Still got about another year to pay off the student loans though. Related fact: I recently read that 32% of Chicago's population holds a bachelors degree or better.
November 11, 201014 yr ^I also have a J.D....I was just debating whether a J.D. is a doctoral degree with a couple coworkers. And Elaine on Seinfeld told her date that a podiatrist was not a real doctor. I have a Bachelor's of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from YSU. B.E. means that I took engineering courses like thermodynamics, strength of materials (my fav), engineering economics, and advanced statics and dynamics.
November 11, 201014 yr I have a Bachelor's of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from YSU. B.E. means that I took engineering courses like thermodynamics, strength of materials (my fav), engineering economics, and advanced statics and dynamics. That's exactly how the BSE degree works at CWRU. At CWRU they had two main cores, "Engineering" and "Arts and Flowers". :)
