    I would say that's a degree in Business with a specialization in "Applied Computer Science."

    When I graduated from Union, learners could declare both a concentration and a specialization. When asked what one did one's Ph.D. in, it was utterly normal to state the concentration. (In my case, Higher Education.) This was usually followed by the specialization, because that's where the real emphasis was.

    Persistence is definately a key. It took me:
    - 4 years to get a 2-year Associates
    - 21 years to get a 4-year Bachelors

    I also took an external College Algebra course and the time limit was 365 days. I completed it in 364 days! :eek:

    Agreed. I have often said that a doctorate is, first and foremost, a certificate of endurance. Regardless of your field of study, your major is REALLY in "jumping through hoops" :)

    I hate statistics but if I used the right numbers this table works out to about 6% having a masters degree in the US in the 18 years and older group with only 1% having a doctorate. Going back to the doctoral thread this group is well educated. I feel like such a slacker sometimes.
