How many U.S. presidents have not had a college degree?

College degree dilemma?

  • Hello I am currently stumped about my college choice/degree I have but a week and a half to decide; the problem is: - I got accepted to Harvard however It does not offer any degree of interest. The prestigious title behind that name can greatly influence how my life is lived. I cannot fully afford attendance however I've heard of grants and loans I would take in order to attend. - I am currently attending a community college full time (I got accepted to harvard last year but things happened and I didn't wish to attend however my deadline for a respond is approaching). I have completed a minimum of classes for business administration and probably expand to finance or marketing from that - The biggest problem is that I still want to attend harvard but I also want the degree in business administration from my community college to then transfer to a different college. - My question is this. If I eventually graduate with a bachelor from a non-harvard college and then I apply to harvard again (Different degree/bachelor) would I need to transfer past credits or do I need to begin from scratch? ( Harvard does not accept transfer students who have had more than 2 years of a different college experience) Do my grades from high school, SAT, AP test be necessary? I am consistently involved in community service and would have no problem working as an intern (I only work for people who I can respect!) so in terms of activeness for harvard requirements that is not really a problem ( I already know for which i already got accepted once). In all, would you recommend me to just attend and obtain an appealing degree from harvard just for the aptitude? I would most likely apply for the master in business administration from harvard if I obtain a business administration from a non-harvard college. Thanks for answering and if you have any questions, I will more than glad to answer them.

  • Answer:

    Go to Harvard now. You may be able to transfer some credits so that you can graduate faster. Your focus on getting a professional undergraduate degree suggests that you are not understanding the educational approach of Harvard. Harvard does not offer undergraduate degrees intended to be your only degree. They are intended to be a foundation of general learning, with a master's degree (such as an MBA) educating you for a career. Go to Harvard and study math or economics. Get your MBA afterward or get a master's in finance. Talk to the financial aid office about paying for the degree. A Harvard education will pay off for a lifetime.

If you can get into Harvard, then you have many options of where to go to get a business degree. Business is different than, say, medicine, since school prestige does not matter as much. Business relies heavily on people skills (though there are other skills that still matter) that aren't learned in books and classes. In this case, I do not think it would make much of a difference to go to Harvard than a state school with a great business program, especially since you would rather go for the prestige of the school than the quality of the program. If you can go to school without having a lot of debt when you graduate, by all means, do it. Not all CEOs and higher ups went to Ivy League schools. In regards to your question, colleges don't put a lot of weight on high school stuff for transfer students. They will mostly look at your college GPA and your activities.
