Analysis Of The Proposal To Create A Single Degree

The University of Michigan purpose and mission is to allow “its students to tailor their

My interest in taking Advanced Placement U.S. Government/Macroeconomics stems from my segmented historical learning experience thus far in my Brophy career. I have delved into the developmental watersheds of societies in the ancient world, Europe, and the United States. In doing so, however, I have not yet focused my attention on a most immediate piece of the puzzle–the very processes and principles of modern-day American capitalism. And as a senior, I would like to accept the challenge of Brophy's pinnacle in historical study. AP U.S. Gov. & Econ. would not only mold and solidify my expectations for a future of collegiate education, but it would also provide a comfortably-blended field of mathematics and historical knowledge.

A half a century ago the traditional college degree was a bachelors in a liberal arts discipline. Recently a large number of degrees acquired are in a specific profession or in business, or business administration type discipline. While that worked for a long period of time, we are now in a changing world of

Sanford J. Ungar’s article “The New Liberal Arts” identifies multiple misperceptions there are about earning a liberal arts degree, showing the inaccuracy in each.

As the world becomes more specialized it raises the question, should undergraduate institutions change their curriculum requirements to better equip students? The goal of a liberal arts education is to enlighten individuals and prepare them for the complex and diverse world by requiring the study of literature, philosophy, mathematics, and sciences. As professional careers evolve into more specialized fields the argument that a liberal education is no longer needed rises. Some educators feel that future professionals would be better primed for the future by focusing specifically on subjects that deal with their intended field. However, a liberal arts education provides benefits that go beyond the classroom. The experience of studying a

It is for this reason that I plan to undertake my graduate studies. The _______ Course at ___________would be a good opportunity for me to interact with the international student community and will also prepare me to excel in the global arena. I am confident that the program will help me accomplish my long-term goal of working as a senior analyst in a leading analytics firm using my professional educational background along with the program’s industry

Choosing an American government and history teacher was an easy choice because it was a my favorite subject, and we call can benefit from the teachings of the past. “We thought nothing could be worse than world war one, then guess what? World war two cam along.”said Mr. Bo Tillman, a passionate history and government teacher at Lafayette High School, during mid-interview, this was his response to a question about why history and government became his focus. “If you don't learn from it you know, everything rolls back” Bo Tillman helped me understand this country, the American government, the life lessons we can learn from everything in our history, and its direct translation to our daily lives.

Derek Curtis Bok, not only known for his prominent status of serving as dean of Harvard Law School, but serving as president of Harvard University for twenty years. Bok wrote a particular essay named “Preparing for a Career in which he discusses both liberal arts and vocational programs in the education system. In “Preparing for a Career” Bok’s main idea he engraves into the essay is the fact that vocational and liberal arts program should consolidate into one program to produce better, prepared, hybrid students. Bok throughout the essay continues to explain the characteristics liberal arts and vocational programs contain by putting himself in their perspective views. As Bok’s essay progresses so do his views on vocational and liberal arts

Mrs. McPhee is not meeting any state standards that will prepare her students for the test nor next year’s material. She is simply relating history to what her students would possibly like to learn about, instead of teaching them what they need to learn about. If Dr. Gutierrez was to agree on Mrs. McPhee’s proposal, Dr. Gutierrez would face several issues as well. She would hear that her 8th grade history department was “watered down” in several different areas. This new history curriculum would not touch on the areas of elected officials, foreign affairs, and several other important pieces of history.

I had a conflict with ECON 423 and PSYC 312 being offered on the same day and time, so I opt to take ECON 151 but met upon restriction difficulties. Based on those issues and advise from Dr. Twombly, I have decided to take a political science course instead.

Upon completing a stage in life, such as the completion of a graduate program, it is productive to reflect upon that experience and ponder the motivation for that course of action, as well as ponder the utility of that experience. As my graduate program comes to a conclusion, now is the time for me to discuss the components of the program that have been of particular value to me, and why such program components have been of value.

In Political Science II we learn a great deal of information, from the details of the 1st amendment, from learning how a bill becomes a law, and how the President can write an Executive Powers. Whether I dislike the class or not I still have to take it, so might as well take it serious. I think learning about the all of the Supreme Court cases was my favorite part of the class, I enjoyed learning about each different case and how the outcome made our county a little bit better in some way.

From the days before the enduring reign of Queen Victoria to the modern era of Mark Edmundson, education has played a vital role in the shaping of history. While the knowledge taught in universities progressively expands, Edmundson would argue that universities are allowing students too much control over how and what they learn. As someone who had very little control over her own education, Queen Victoria would appreciate the opportunities granted to modern students.

A major in political science prepares students for law school, government employment on the local, state and national levels, foreign service, teaching, business, journalism, or leadership in civic and political activities. For pre-law students, the department provides a series of law-related courses. There is a pre-law adviser and an active Pre-law Society that enable students to make close and direct contact with the work of attorneys and judges. Moreover political science is important since it makes citizens familiar with their legal system.

My enrollment in the History course this semester was due to requirements for my bachelor’s degree in nursing. Rather than feeling that the course took valuable time away from the core curriculum, what I learned has made a lasting impact on how I feel about the world around me and who I am in that world. Those changes are going to impact the way in which I interact with my future patients and conduct myself as a healthcare professional. The format of the course facilitated a deeper understanding of social and cultural concepts and how those concepts can affect and even define a group of people or region to the rest of the world. Through the education I have received in this course, I now watch international news reports and more clearly
