It's a specialization in a major. My degree is Natural Resources, but there were four different concentrations with in the major: Wildlife Ecology, Range Management, Watershed Management, and Environmental Policy

Ah, ok. We just call them specializations here.

I will graduate my trade school with an Associates Degree in Specialized Business. Basically for IT work. I've been working full time in the field as I go to school, too.

BA in Music, minor in Bible.

About halfway through a Masters in Business Administration, concentration in IT. It stinks having been a music major and having the test scores to not take math in undergrad, and then having to take accounting while doing grad work.

Graduated from a trade school two years ago with an Associates in Computer Hardware.

Roach, yeah. I see what you're getting at, but even if BSU is a crappy school, it's still a school that follows the same format as every other school out there. You can't polish a turd.

Yeah, I wish I could say I really enjoyed U of I more than BSU, but I still hated the classes, and Moscow turns everyone into an alcoholic, so universities are batting 0 for 2 with me now.

Is it like a minor or specialization?


They were right in that it means specialization, but what I was really just aiming for was asking for what people were majoring in and all.

I'll be a sophomore on my way to a MS in Electrical Engineering this fall. With any luck I'll know more about computers than Jon'C in some areas in the next couple of years.

Specialization sounds like it's comparable

Are you doing BS/MS? If it's even half as hard as the BS/MS for EEs at RIT, which one of my roommates is enrolled in, you'll be raped constantly for the next five years. A few months ago he actually did 80 hours of homework one week. That's like working two full time jobs. :suicide:

Don't say that.

It depends on which engineering discipline and where you're at. At RIT, the most difficult are easily electrical and microelectric engineering, followed by, I think, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and finally software engineering.

Interesting thing about software engineering is that it has more of an abstract, art-like quality than all the other engineering disciplines, and such doesn't require insane amounts of math, reducing the workload by a lot.

Cal has and Electrical Engineering/Computer Science combination. Those folks sleep at their building, if they sleep at all. It's quite scary

That sounds like computer engineering. It probably is, I know a lot of places don't have "computer engineering" but rather some sort of "electrical and computer engineering."

Yeah, it already sucks. Next year though, and after that especially it's going to really ramp up. I don't do a *ton* of homework yet, as I'm doing a lot of intro and core courses which often merge with the Art and Science school, but Engineering Calculus manages to keep me pretty busy. I spend well over ten hours a week on that class even when I'm slacking off. I going to try to get a B in that and As in everything else.

Got a BS in Biology and minored in Math. Went back later and got certified to teach both. In between got a BA in Theology.

Software engineering is the easiest or is there something easier I can take so I can harass Massassians?

Should be graduating with a BEng in Mechanical Engineering this July.
Speaking of engineering workload, I was pulling 28 hour days (20hrs awake/8hrs sleep) for a couple of weeks as my final year project deadline approached. It was hell.
