Lester Said:

Can you do two master degree programs at the same time?

We Answered:

I'm not sure but mostly you will not be able to. Unless the school is jointed. Most schools want you to focus one thing at a time, especially Ivys. If you are doing it for the money, then I can see why. But I would choose only 1. If you want to do it for the knowledge, get a Bach in one and master in the other.

Do all Art History Master degree programs require a foreign language examination?

We Answered:

My sister is nearly finished with her Ph.d in Art History and has had to meet a number of foreign language requirements both for the MA and then the Ph.d. I cannot recall exactly, but believe that she had to pass proficiency tests in both German and Italian (she was already basically fluent in Spanish). However, the languages that you will need to learn are semi-dependent on the time period/region of art that you study. Her focus/expertise is Renaissance art, so she has spent a significant amount of time doing research in Florence, IT.

I am not sure how much time you have left in your undergraduate studies, but you should look into a summer intensive language program. It will look good on your application and is a useful skill to have!

Best of luck...

We Answered:

Not sure, but congratulations. I graduated with a BFA in 2004. I'd like to continue to get a Masters someday, to teach college art. Is that something you might be interested in?
Anyways, good for you!

What is the difference between a certificate degree and a master degree programs?

We Answered:

A certificate degree is a degree that will help you with a really basic skill, so that you can enter the job market.

A Masters degree is a specialization in a specific field that typically takes 2 to 3 years to complete. In order of degrees, a certificate is at the bottom.

Certificate - one or two courses that give you a very general understanding of a subject matter.

Associates - two year program in a specific field that primes you for a bachelors.

Bachelors - any four year college

Masters - the field would be much more specific... people gets masters in physical therapy, early childhood education, construction management, international diplomacy, marketing, etc.

Doctorate - this will enable you to teach at the collegiate level. The honorary doctorate is just a compliment for somebody in a field... like Bruce Willis might have an honorary doctorate of theater just for giving a speech but hasn't matriculated through ANY program at all. Same with former presidents, business people, and philanthropists.

What do university committees look for when considering candidates for master's degree programs in psychology?

We Answered:

I also will be getting my MS or MA in Psychology, depending on which direction I want to take. My advisor as an undergrad suggested I look into the work/research of a particular faculty member with whom I would want to work. Then, in my admissions letter, refer to that faculty member's work/research. Graduate admissions want to know that you want to be there and will be interested in what the grad department does.
