Of course. Keep studying, go to the learning center at your school, and go for it!

why not? We are capable individuals and your GPA only reflects that you are just taking it easy. You need to focus and at this point in your life ask yourself "am I a follower or a leader?" If you are a follower, then stop get an easy job, but just make sure that you don't get marry until you have a job paying at least 12/hour. If you are a leader type, then when you finish your master, then you will be earning $25/hour and you may get marry and live a better life.

The first thing to understand is the *snooty* nature of academia, much of the snootiness being wholly undeserved. Academians tend to try to forge policies, while having little-to-know street-smarts, the results tending to be inapposite or anomalous. That being said, the Admissions Office of a University, filled with Academians, tends to operate in the same fashion. So, they will look at your GPA and go, "Ok, this ain't Master's material." Why? Because it's the lazy-mans way out. Who among us haven't tried to cut corners in our job to save us the effort? That these folks making such decisions are affecting others lives is lost on them many times, thus, you must distinguish yourself and stand out... I prefer the direct approach. I would arrange sit-downs with the Director or Dean of Admissions for every serious school you want to get into, and just tell them pure and simple: You want in and here's why. Your grades weren't the greatest and here's why. This is what I want to pursue with my Masters and here's why. You will remind them that grades alone aren't a guarantee of future results based on a number of factors including a) the subjective nature of grading b) the level of interest in the coursework c) outside demands d) other achievements e) Letters of Recommendation from former professors... Further, do your research on all these Admissions Directors. Find out there Alma Maters, there respective outside interests, etc. In short, get a concise biography of each interviewer, thus allowing you to guage your conversation in such away that resonates with them. This is a sales job, and no salesman is a better salesman that makes a customer (in this case our proverbial Admissions decision maker!) resonate with himself. Read about Narcisscus in old Greek, you'll get the general idea... Additionally, find out if you have *any* links with these individuals, however tenuous, in terms of who knows whom...you might be surprised how close you are to knowing them. Think about the old saw about "we're only three links (people) away from everyone else." I've done this, and I've not thought of any famous person that I'm not only 3 or 4 steps away from knowing them, simply by virtue of who-knows-who... Finally, attitude. Think of yourself as heads and shoulders above the rest, and you will be heads and shoulders above the rest.

Of course! But you'll have to prove yourself to the admissions that there's more to you than your gpa. Keep in mind that graduate school admissions look at other factors (i.e., test scores, extracurriculars, letters of rec, etc.); they usually want different students.


6
If you struggled that much for a undergraduate degree maybe you should consider another field of study. Usually though as long as your gpa is at least 2.5 and all your major courses are a C or above it is usually not a problem to continue in some advanced education. Though you may not get into snotty upscale colleges. Good luck.

Are there any universities in Germany which offers free master degree education for international students

If you speak German, most universities offer free or inexpensive college education, and international students are admitted. Fachhochschule Pforzheim, between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, offers an International Business certificate program with classes in English. It also offers a standard MBA program (as well as other program) with most classes in German.

As far as I know there is no University in Germany that offers free Master degrees, except for you have studied there from the first semster, however in comparison to many other countries tuition is not that high as we just started to charge at all, if you speak German you should be able to staudy at any university, if not you need to look for international studies, I have studied international business in Dresden (www.htw-dresden.de) check the page they have all the fees online, ask me for help if you need greets Anne

I left uni in 2003, at this time studying for a masters degree was still free. I was at the Uni of Tübingen living in a student dorm. Several of the people living on the same flor where intenational students doing their masters in Hydrogeography - completely for free and a few of them on a scholarship from the DAAD (450 EUR a month then) see http://www.daad.de. The course was taught completely in English. There are nowadays several universities that have masters degrees taught in English, I am sure you'll be able to find one. (www.uni-magdeburg.de is one of them.)The DAAD also still exists and will hand out scholarships to gifted international students. As to student fees - I don't know anything about them. (They are a recent addition to German student life.) But if you found a course that interests you, why don't you write to the university to inquire about this? Be warned though, that even if the course is free, you will still be asked to support yourself during your stay out of your savings or you will be asked by the German government to leave the country. A non-EU student will be given a limited work permit to supplement hir income by working for 90 days fulltime or 180 days parttime. A EU student will not require a work permit, but will instead be subject to the same student labour restrictions the Germans are under - also working only part-time during the whole year or fully during the semester breaks. Yet anyway you turn it, most part-time jobs will not cover the roughly 500-700 EUR per month you need at mimimum to cover your cost of living in Germany. Hope I helped.

five year master programs in education

five year master programs in education?
I'm looking for colleges that provide a five year master program (or dual degree with bachelors and masters) in education. A list of any colleges that have this would be great, although I'm primarily looking in the New England region. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pretty much any program is going to offer that if you reapply to the masters program given the education masters degree only takes one year full time plus some summer work (30-40 credits only). But combined programs- I believe Rutgers offers something of the likes, Detroit Mercy does, West Virginia does, William and Mary does, as does the Univ of Tennessee- but other than that, youll have to google- there are probably a few more.

hi Rutgers definitely does you have to apply before spring of your junior year and you have to take the GRE's before then I'm trying to fit all the req.s in now XD peace
