Types of College Degrees

Safarkaaga kulliyadda sidoo kale waa mid shaqsiyeed. Waxa qof kale u habboon, xitaa qof leh yoolal shaqo oo la mid ah, waxaa laga yaabaa inaysan kugu habboonayn.

When deciding what type of college degree you want, ask yourself, what kind of journey am I looking for? The cheapest and fastest way from here to there, or a journey offering group learning, lasting friendships, and personal and intellectual growth?

There are two types of undergraduate degrees and two types of graduate degrees.

An Associate Degree is… Choosing College, career researchers Michael B. Horn and Bob Moesta encourage students to put themselves in the driver’s seat when it comes to forging their personal college pathway. To use the authors’ analogy, it’s like you’re hiring the college to get yourself something important.

In an age of technological change and business disruptors, COVID-19 ushered in more changes, including changes to teaching and learning. Not only did the explosion of remote communication tools impact how young people learn and how some new degree programs are structured, it also impacted how people think about preparing for jobs.

COVID-19 accelerated the adoption of remote learning, and today many colleges offer remote or hybrid learning options that provide flexibility that can be especially helpful for students who want to hold down a job while earning a college degree.

Remote learning options may also help reduce the costs of getting a degree, reducing travel and living expenses and perhaps lowering fees too.

Dunida waxbarashada shaqaalaha ayaa sidoo kale isbeddelaysa. Xiriirada dhaqameed ee u dhexeeya shahaadooyinka kulliyadda iyo shaqooyinka wanaagsan waxaa saameeya habab cusub, shaqsiyeed iyo dabacsan oo loo maro tababarka shaqada. Cilmi-baarayaal ka tirsan EdSurge ayaa noo sheegaya in shahaadooyinka 4-ta sano ah ay weli yihiin "heerka dahabka ah" ee lagu helo shaqooyin wanaagsan, laakiin waxaa sii kordhaya baahida loo qabo dib-u-xirfadeynta xirfadaha oo ku tiirsan koorsooyinka khadka tooska ah, shahaadooyinka yaryar, ama shahaadooyinka xirfadeed.

As young entrepreneurs create open-learning platforms for lifelong learning (think 2U, Udemy, and Coursera, for example), and technology giants (think Google and Microsoft) seek to influence workforce training by offering online “badges” and “certificates” in ways that support and promote their technologies, there’s significant potential for disruption to traditional college degree pathways.

Go'aan qaadashada kulliyadda mararka qaarkood waxay u ekaan kartaa mid culus, laakiin wax kasta oo aad maanta ku barato kulliyadda iyo shahaado kasta oo aad hadda qaadato, waxaad u baahan doontaa inaad barato xirfado cusub mustaqbalka, laga yaabee shaqooyinka ama shaqooyinka aadan waligaa qiyaasin inay jiri doonaan!

Putting yourself in the driver’s seat, learning about occupations at your local career center, chatting with a skilled and compassionate Academic Advisor, and not being afraid to find the degree program that will deliver on the learning and personal experiences you want — these are all positive steps that will help put you on a path to both satisfaction and success.
