The University of North Carolina at Greensboro
In 1891 the University of North Carolina at Greensboro was founded by the state of North Carolina, only it was not called University of north Carolina at Greensboro, it was State Normal & Industrial School. The state founded this college to higher educate the women in the state of North Carolina. For seventy-two years the college remained only for women until 1963. In 1963 there was a law that said all state colleges must admit both sexes into their program of education. Since the school seemed to have a new identity it was decided to rename the school once more to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
SAT or ACT scores are not required to be accepted into UNCG, but taking the test are recommended, it gives the student a better chance of being accepted, that is of course if it is a decent score. A 2.0 grade point average in high school is required, to be accepted into UNCG. Grades, SAT, and ACT do help a students chances in being accepted, but a students acceptation into the school it totally up to the admissions office. All admissions information for the Fall semester is due by May1, and all admissions for the Spring semester is due Oct.1st.
There are 12,000 students attending UNCG at this current time. 65% of the students are women and 35% are of the male gender. Living on campus is not required for anyone, but incase a student does live on campus they live in one of the 23 living headquarters provided by the school. It is suggested by the college to live on campus as a freshman so that you can get involved with other students as well. To stay involved with the school and other students there is a choice to join anyone of the 150 academic clubs provided. Also involvement with the eight fraternities and eight sororities is a very popular evolvement.

The main component I look for in college is their commitment to further my studies. I feel this college will provide an ingenious culture within the science field, therefore rendering myself with the building blocks necessary to later pursue the medical field. Not only does UNCW devote itself towards their student’s undergraduate years, but also by providing Professional pathways such as Pre-Medicine, students such as myself can go into Professional schools better prepared. In addition to my interest in the academics the school has to offer, I also marvel at the amount of extracurricular activities available to the student body. One student organization in particular is the Greek Life. When my mother attended this school, she was an avid member
In 1970 the nation was in its highest state of controversy. The generation gap that had begun to form in the sixties was now more of a ravine. The youth of America was finally standing up and raising their voices in protest against all the problems that plagued the country they would have control of in years to come. There were many events that helped in feeding the flame in the hearts of Americans. One such event was the Kent State University incident. It is an event that touched the nation and made such a profound mark, and yet it only lasted for thirteen seconds. In the thirteen seconds the Ohio National Guard, along with the rest of government by association, established themselves as the new enemy. All eyes were on them, scrutinizing their every move, pointing out every mistake they made. Interestingly enough, most don’t even really know exactly what went on in those thirteen seconds, but they knew that it left four students dead and nine injured at the hand of the National Guard, so that was enough to strike the hearts on millions. Still today, twenty-nine years later, we still don’t really know what went on. Who fired the first shot, and were they provoked? Was it necessary for the National Guard to be present on this typically calm college campus in the first place? And why did it have to end in such tragedy? There are so many questions, and so many misconceptions about this incident, and like any controversial issue, there are always two sides to the story.
Through out history education has been a topic of many concerns. Historically Black Colleges and Universities were established to try and provide freed slaves education they were not able to obtain. For African Americans in the 20th century attending school was a burden. The children had to withstand long walks to get to their designated schools, being denied classes that the white students had in their schools, outdated books and hand me down classroom materials. African Americans all across the United States fought for their kids rights to get a good education, education provided to white only schools. There was a period of time schools were able to legally deny a student acceptance into their institutions based solely on the color of their skin. Many African Americans tried and majority of them got denied. Students at all levels were being denied, from Pre-K all the way up to college. After many attempts to integrate schools parents of the children being denied education just like the white kids, they realized it would be easier to just build their own schools.
The second Great Awakening prompted the building of little schools in the South West the educational program concentrated for the most part on Latin, Math, Greek, moral theory The first state-backed college was established in the Tar Heel state, the Univ. of North Carolina, in 1795; Jefferson began the College of Virginia without further ado thereafter (UVA was to be autonomous of religion or legislative issues) ladies were thought to be debased if excessively instructed and were in this manner barred.\

In 1837, Mary Lyon made a large footstep for all women across the United States. She founded the first college that allowed for women to receive a college degree. The initial class of 80 female students was the very first group of non-privileged females to have the opportunity to better themselves with a higher form of education. The footstep that Mary Lyon made started a revolution in a mindset that men and women alike should receive a higher
Since the founding of Cheyney University in 1837 HBCUs have continually been established to give African-Americans an education because they couldn’t attend other institutions. Slavery was the key to whites retaining superiority by preventing African-Americans becoming educated. While some Caucasians did believe in educating African-Americans the majority were against it. The 1860s were when HBCUs started becoming more widespread, although they were hard to keep sustained because the funding generally would have to come from whites. After the abolishment of slavery, laws started to be passed to protect the civil rights of African-Americans, and allow them to get an education. HBCUs became very important after the Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson because the decision gave African-Americans equal rights, but allowed segregation, coining the phrase “separate but equal.” This meant that the only place African-Americans could go to receive an education was an HBCU. HBCUs play a very important role in the education of African-Americans compared to other colleges and universities. They historically provided a way for African-Americans to get an education that PWIs didn’t give them, they offer an environment that allows for better peer and faculty relationships, and their entrance requirements allow for African-Americans of poor backgrounds to still receive a quality education.
Everything comes with a price, especially college education. The University of Iowa’s webpage, 2013-2014 Undergraduate Cost of Attendance states that, “these expenses represent average amounts” (3). Most costs vary depending on duration and living plans for the students. For a student living on campus, the estimated total price is around $20,691. Tuition fees, and housing and meals, normally add up to be about $17,485, out of the total. Then there is the books, personal, and transportation fees which end up being $3,206. For many families, that ends up being quite a bit of money. But both schools allow the use of financial aid or even loans to pay for the college education.
Over the past 5 decades, nurse practitioners have been utilized to deliver primary care, traditionally in underserved areas or to vulnerable populations. With the primary care physician workforce in decline it has been estimated, in 2020 we will see a shortage of nearly 45,000 primary care physicians. Currently, a nurse practitioners scope of practice varies widely state by state, many believe that drafting new laws to expand their scope of practice would help create a readily available supply of primary care providers to help combat the expected shortage.
Many men knew that if women were educated, they would not depend on the men. For centuries, only men were educated. In the 1800, women started to come out of their house and reached for the education in colleges. Most people were antagonistic to having women go to college and having the same education as men. They thought that women should just take care of their husband and kids. The society thought that coed colleges were more barbaric, because they thought that men and women could not work together. The women’s colleges became a light for the women in 1800’s. Women learned to stand up for their rights by getting educated in college.
...s as all other colleges did. Female college students were admitted. Athletic programs were introduced.
Tests measuring students’ achievement demonstrate that particular groups of students score far below students of other groups. Records indicate that the discrepancy in the academic dominance of certain groups over other groups is strongly associated with socio-economic status, with lower achieving students typically hailing from increased poverty-stricken backgrounds. While poverty is exclusive to no one particular ethnicity, it exists in disproportionately high rates among Hispanic and Black communities and their students. The root of this gap in educational achievement has been shown to be multi-faceted, with origins undoubtedly dating back centuries (EdSource, 2003).
Most universities require four English credits, at least three math credits, at least two foreign language credits, at least two social studies credits, and at least two laboratory science credits to accept students into the school. However, these schools do look at test scores and students with a musical background do tend to have higher test scores. Additionally, if there is a question between two possible applicants, colleges will look at extracurricular activities. Whichever student has the most impressive list of extracurricular activities is more likely to get accepted than the other.
Community colleges are great when it comes to saving money and classes are small in size if that is what a student is looking for when seeking a college education but with a small amount of students enrolled in a community college compared to a university, it is harder for some to make friends like they hoped for. In a large, university setting, there are many activities that are encouraged by the school and many students take part in to constantly interact with other students. Even the small daily activities, like the walk to classes, can lead to a new friendship if a student finds another person who is in similar classes and sections of campus. College life is vastly different from the campuses of Community Colleges to that of
Oral Roberts was 17 years old when his life was changed by a dramatic religious experience. It was late July 1935 when his older brother Elmer took him to be healed. The 6 foot tall young man who only weighed 120 pounds was stricken with Tuberculosis. In the car on the way to the revival Oral sensed that cosmic forces were focused on him. He was prepared to be healed when Geo. W. Moncey, an evangelist and divine healer prayed upon Oral. Automatically Oral was healed. Previous to the healing Oral had been too weak to stand up on his own, all of a sudden he jumped up on the stage and ran back and forth shouting he was healed..
