I was doing a little math studying and getting nothing but absolutely frustrated. super frustrated. I would like to make something clear. I am not, in the slightest, interested in ratios, probability, rates, or geometry. They can suck a fat one as far as I'm concerned.
As far as Grad school is concerned...
How the hell am I supposed to know if Pepperdine is the right fit for me? My biggest concern with the school is the freaking program- which is the whole point in going to grad school! The MA in psychology is 44 units... which would take a year and a half if I got the deans approval to take 15 units a semester. Downer, its evening classes only- which just seems weird to me.
The MA in Clinical Psych. with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy is 65 units. I am not interested in MFT but an advisor said a lot of their students use their 8 credits of practicum (not required for the MA in Psychology) to work with other groups of people (which works perfectly for me). She also said the degree would make me look a lot better when applying for jobs. Unfortunately it would take me more like 2.5 years to finish this. Which is a LOT more money at 950-1150 a credit.
Time and Money are the biggest factors in this equation. Time- huge. I don't want to work while going to school so I can get done quicker- this means time=money! Money- tuition alone can can range from 41000-77000 (depending on what program I enroll in and what campus I attend... Yes, the Malibu location- the one everyone has seen- is the 77000 one). Barf.
I just want to make sure Im not settling for anything, but that is sort of how I feel. Maybe Im just stressed about the GRE and its coming out in the form of doubts about grad school.
eeeekk.
