Importance of GPA on a Bachelors Degree?

[cookderosa]

Now, im glad you said that, is there any issue with CCU being a Nationally Accredited for-profit school? I heard, all the time, that for my bachelors i should stay away from NA schools and stick with RA. Is that the same case with a Masters? I spoke with someone from CCU about it, and they informed me NA is only an issue if im going into Psychology or Education (Which is neither the case). Im looking for a simple Masters to complete, just to complete, for personal accomplishment reasons and for my resume.

And also for anyone else reading this, their opinion on a NA Masters Program?



Also, I am under the pre-July 1st enrollment, and my Capstone was also tested out of (Business Policy) so if i TECEP my last course, i will have NO GPA. CCU did confirm that it will not be an issue. But of course, I wanna keep my options open and look into other schools that could offer me a Masters Program.

You can go from RA to NA but generally not from NA to RA. Furthermore, if you intend on doing ANYTHING EVER that requires additional credentials - state, federal, or professional, you should pursue RA.

Re: GPA? Grad schools will ask on your application. I've also filled out a few random online job applications that asked for dates of attendance and GPA for each of my schools/colleges.

P.S. I enrolled -and dropped in my first class- out of an NA master's degree. Why? Because a lightbulb went off. It's the same amount of work!! And as your sitting there writing hundreds of APA or MLA pages, and on your six-zillionth citation, you ask yourself if your willing to do the work in a degree that might not count. It has nothing to do with snobbery- it's a fact. There are accreditations in place that allow universal transfer and standardization of credits. Colleges who opt out of that process for any reason are on the outside. If you don't like that, then change the system, but none the less, it is the way it is. In my opinion, your undergrad should ALWAYS be RA. Your masters is up to you.
