Associate in Networks

Most associate degrees in the USA require courses in humanities, science, and the arts. This particulr degree would include a concentration of 12 units.
Once gained you would descibe your academic credential as " AS in general studies with a concentration in Networks (or computer science or similar)."

 

Another option;
The American University in Cairo offers a BS in Computer Science

It looks like you have to attend clases (not a distant learning school).
If you are interested ask them if they have scholarships available.


If a US DETC accredited university might fit your needs then look at this AS from Grantham:

My friend is currently a Marine Security Guard at the U.S Embassy in Cairo. He is studying at Troy University at distance learning. You might want to check them out.

 

Thanks guys for your help so,

Do you think Fort Hays State University has a good reputation in business market ?

After completing AS in General Studies can I continue Bachelor degree of networks at any University ?

Do i have to study Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences,
Social & Behavioral Sciences at any Associate !!!

I will send them and keep you updated ..

 

what other ACE reviewed universities that can Be suitable

in my case ? (of course with good price )

 

it is 200$ per credit hour so 200x60=12000$

= 12000$ x 5.5 = 66000 Egyptian Pounds = NO WAY

That is kind of good option but i don't feel OK with it . Beside that i speak English only and some french .

Fort Hays State University has as good a reputation as any school that is not Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton, Harvard, McGill, Waterloo, etc. Most students graduate from schools other than the elite institutions previously mentioned.

Yes, you can continue your studies towards a bachelor degree upon completion of the AS(GS). It is increasingly popular to earn an associate degree before embarking upon study for a bachelor degree; frequently as a cost-saving measure depending where the associate degree is earned.

Typically, you be required to study courses in these areas as part of either an associate degree or a bachelor degree. The rationale is to ensure students receive a well-rounded education. At one point in history the only degrees offered by universities were only in the area we now refer to as general education, particularly humanities, social sciences, mathematics and perhaps some other sciences.

 

aha, but what i mean that i think there are associate like ashworth that contain less courses of humanities, social sciences, mathematics,..........
and at the same time it is focused upon for example NETWORKS , IT , ........

on other hand really i don't trust ashworth :
http://ashworth-university.pissedconsumer.com/ashworth-university-is-a-waste-of-your-money-20080312115324.html

I mean to be much easier to study and at the same time achieve the goal .

what do you think ??

 

Difficult to tell exactly what general courses you will need, but there is no way around doing at least some. I went the UoP route for this degree and quickly found myself in a World Religions class. While having nothing to do with my major that as well as a few others I found interesting to be honest and now that I will be finishing the BS at Fort Hays State I have that many less general education classes to take there.

 

Just caught this. You will find these types of things with almost all distance learning universities. Some people think they can sign up and do a half @** job and get by. Essentially they think it will be easy and fail to dedicate the proper time and work to succeed. When they fail or drop they blame the university. In a class I am currently in with UoP Axia, we are in the final week and had a guy attempt to throw the instructor under the bus for his poor grade. He did this in his reply to a gradable discussion question for all to see. Basically, people that post most of those reviews have an axe to grind so you have to take those reviews for what they are worth. Personally, I have not seen one yet where the argument was rock solid.

 

But look there are courses i have never dream to study to get Associate of networks, that is crazy ....

also notice what is written :

Code:

By entering the AGS program, you will be able to set and meet short-term educational goals. After earning your Associate of General Studies degree, you can easily elect to go on to complete a [U]four-year degree[/U].

Does it mean that Bachelor will be 4 instead of 2 . !!!!

 

A Bachelor's degree is a four year degree by definition. It only becomes two years if you have previous experience or an Associate's degree (which is the first two years of a Bachelor's degree).

 

Here is another suggestion.

Obtain your AS in Technology with a specialty (computer technologies )from Excelsior College
https://www.excelsior.edu/Excelsior_College/School_of_Business_and_Technology/Technology_Programs/AS_IN_TECHNOLOGY_WITH_SPECIALITY

The steps to earning the degree could be as follows:
Download the catalog
• Plan a program to suit your needs
• Send all your existing academic credentials for USA evaluation (they may l at least be accepted as electives)
• Take courses wherever you can find them (any college but probably should be regionally accredited)
• Take CLEP exams (and there may be other exams) – also Excelsior has exams for credit but they tend to be expensive.
• When you have obtained around 40 to 50 credits enroll with Excelsior (this saves you the annual fees).

You will have to calculate the cost of this suggestion to see if it meets your needs. I expect that this route may be a low cost route to an AS degree.

 

what do you mean by :

Take courses wherever you can find them (any college but probably should be regionally accredited)

 

while i was searching guys i found this university :
is it expensive ? is it suitable for me ?

http://continuinged.uml.edu/online/ASonline.htm

But why AS here is 3 years ???

 

oops sorry i got email from them :

Tuition for our courses taught here on campus is currently $290.00 per
credit or $870.00 per 3 credit course. Our online course tuition is
currently $315.00 per credit or $945.00 per 3-credit course

But of course that is not cheap

sorry for being so talkative but i decided to change my life ...

still searching ......................

 

In the US education system, an Associate's Degree in *any* vocational field requires what we call "general education" coursework: US and world history, math, writing, public speaking, art, etc.

In the US, anyone with an Associate's degree in automobile repair, welding, or telecommunications will probably have taken a survey course in US or world history....and perhaps photography...and perhaps a basic course in English composition.

If you want to study only vocational coursework, seek out a "certificate" program, or courses conducted by a vendor or its training partners (i.e. Cisco, Microsoft, Sun, etc.)

 

I attended this school for two years taking Economics I and II, Heat transfer, and Quality Statistics by attending classes there (not by distant learning). A good school.

The web site you listed says this about their 3-year program:
Based on student experiences, we do not recommend registering for more than 3 online courses per semester.
I do not know many people who have completed their 2-year degree (AA/AS) in two years, or their 4-year degree (BS/BA) in 4-years.
