Did you attend a college or university?

[Undertow]

Were you fortunate enough to attend a college or university? When did you attend and at what age? Where was the school located? What was your major/minor? If you finished a graduate program, what was your field? Are you working in your field of study?

I attended Iowa State University for three years and transferred my last year to graduate with a BA in English from Lacrosse in Mississippi. I started when I was 18 and graduated when I was 21. I'm not currently involved in my field beside writing fiction as a hobby.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

I have my BA from University of California at Santa Barbara, double major in Linguistics and Portuguese (literature and language).

I did most of my courses at a community college and only transfered to the UC for my final two years.

I graduated 10 years to the month that I finished high school, so I was 28. I worked full time while doing classes for most of that time, also traveled, lived in Brazil for a while..etc.

I also have a Msc from the University of the West of England, in Information Technology. I was 33 when I got that.

I do basically work in the IT area of things...although nothing to do with Portuguese at the moment...Linguistics is useful -every- day..in small ways.

I am currently in the middle of a BSc in Environmental Policy at the London School of Economics. Hopefully in two years I will be able to say I have a degree!

I attended Mount Holyoke College in Western Massachusetts and I'd highly recommend it--fantastic faculty, small classes, gorgeous campus. The one drawback is there really isn't any town to speak of, but just hop on the 5 college bus to get to Amherst or Northampton and that problem is solved.

I started at 18 and I graduated at 22 but in January, a semester after my class; I had to take a semester off right after my freshman year for personal reasons.

I double majored in History/Art History only because junior year those were the subjects where I had accumulated the most credits (studio art was a close third). I had no career track in college, as an undergraduate I just took the courses that interested me.

Additionally, I've got an MBA and an MLS (aka a library degree). I'm currently working in my fields of graduate study.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Got my BA in History/Art History 2002 from UCLA, with a minor in French. History/Art History is not a double major in my case. It is a single one.

Currently enrolled in law school, just finished my third semester (of six)! :beer: :beer::beer:

 

[J. M. Stovall]

BA in Painting and Graphic Design from the University of Arkansas. Go Hogs!

 

[jake_fink]

Specialist BA in English and Specialist BA in Art History

MA in Enlgish Lit./Discourse Theory (watered down linguistics)

Currently teaching English (composition) at a community college

I don't write as much as I used to as I have a house and kid to pay for and writing, my writing anyway, was never very lucrative.

 

[Samsa]

Started at Michigan State University, transferred to Madonna University for my B.A. in Sacred (read: Catholic) Theology.

Spent a year at Wayne State University Law School, then dropped out.

Am currently at Wayne State University Graduate School working towards a degree in Library and Information Science.

 

[ScionPI2005]

I am currently working on my BA in Criminology with a minor in Psychology at the University of New Mexico. As of this semester, I only require another twenty-eight credit hours, and will be graduating next December.

 

[Tommy Fedora]

Got my BS in Accounting from Montclair State College, now Montclair State University. Currently a CPA/tax accountant in NYC.

 

[LizzieMaine]

College was out of the question for me for financial reasons -- I had to go straight to work after high school, and I've never had the chance to go back and see what I missed. It frustrates me terribly that a degree is necessary these days to make any kind of a decent living, given the things I've managed to accomplish without one.

I'd love to teach English. don't think my science degree will get me very far in that field, unfortunately

 

[Sarge]

You'd be surprised - pleasantly and otherwise.

Same major--another reason I want to meet you!

Academic snobbery is responsible for my "double major" status--the Historians would never have mixed with the Art Historians. It's all so silly.

Alumnus of University

I graduated from Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg, KS in 1977. I was 24 years old. My degree is a BSBA. This is the only higher education facility which has a Gorilla as a mascot. I'm in sales and marketing, so I 'kind of' use my degree and field of study. Very little that I learned or studied in college, though, is used in real life, day to day.

My father was asked one time what I was going to be when I graduated from college. His response was, "I don't know for sure, but as close as I can figure about 34."

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Yes. I attended...many. And was asked to leave...from many more.
