Excited by the idea of becoming a scientist since I was a small child, my interests in pursuing graduate studies intensified during my undergraduate education and my research experience. Rather than discouraging me with the tremendous amount of work and demands for creativity, my college years motivated me to earn a Ph.D. and to continue pursuing a career as a research scientist. Although my exact research goals have yet to be refined, my interests include studying the genetic basis of disease and
to a plethora of sub disciplines in Computer Science because of which my knowledge is not limited to any particular topic. However, a graduate study in Computer Science will help me increase my knowledge in areas which are of particular interest to me. My primary interests lie in the fields of Data Mining and Machine Learning. I believe pursuing a graduate program at XYZ University will be the ideal step towards fulfilling my career aspirations. My interest for Computer Science stems from a deep
problem. Compared to other industrialized countries, Japan lags behind in programs for elders who are physically disabled, bedridden or in need of long term care. The current economic crisis is exacerbating this situation as the government is cutting funding for elder programs. This problem resonates deeply with me, and I hope to someday work on finding a solution. It is for this reason that I am applying to the graduate program in social work at Boston University: I seek the skills and knowledge I
My decision to apply for a graduate program at the University of Toledo is driven by my aspirations to pursue a research career in the field of Applied Mathematics. This field interests me because of its wide-ranging application, and excitement to study. I believe that a strong and thorough background as well as a complete awareness of recent developments is essential for an intellectually stimulating and satisfying research career. Towards realizing this objective at an esteemed department, such
story of my response when my parents asked me what I wanted for my third birthday. I responded by pounding both fists against my chest and jerking violently. Eventually they realized that I wanted defibrillators, as seen on the beloved television program “Emergency.” Although impressed with the technology, even then I was attracted to the idea of helping people. Through example and upbringing, my family instilled in me the importance of being involved n all levels of life. Their dedication to living

The Scripps Research Institute’s Graduate Program presents a unique avenue to investigate human disease and better understand human behavior. Through my current work in the laboratory of Dr. Seth Tomchik in the Neuroscience Department, I have witnessed firsthand the program’s integrative nature
generally defined at this point, I am certain that entering the Biology Graduate Program at IUPUI, as a Ph.D. student, will enable me to better delineate my research aims. Moreover, I believe the Biology Graduate Program will provide the training, resources, and mentorship necessary for me to grow as a young scientist and meticulously position me to accomplish my career

I believe that all of my theoretical and practical knowledge across the breadth of computer science provides me with the right skill set to pursue graduate studies; as I not only know how different fields relate to each other but I can also effectively bring about the intertwining of different fields with security. This strong foundation and my thirst to learn more is what I bring with me to UTCS
Program Outcomes When developing curriculum at the program level ensure that the outcomes are clear statements of performance and expected achievements from graduates which are reflected in program outcome statements. “Program outcomes are statements that describe what learners will know and be able to do when they graduate from a program” ("Building curriculum at," 2012). Program outcomes should include three basic elements: vocational standards, essential employability skills, and general education
Graduate programs are meant to challenge a person. To successfully complete any graduate program, a person must rely on their personal strengths. Every person has different strengths and finds certain challenges more difficult. I will discuss my personal strengths of determination, flexibility, and enthusiasm which will help me to overcome the challenge of time management so that I can successful complete the MASAA program. Determination has always been a characteristic that I possess. Even as

How would you work to connect ACPA with other graduate students and new professionals at your institution? In order to connect ACPA with other students and new professionals here at Clemson, I would first create a listserv that included all students in our student affairs program and our higher education PhD program. Additionally, I would include new student affairs professionals

In another class called Senior research, we are using the ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) which is a data analysis tool that is located in the Windows Excel Program, to see if the outcome of the ANOVA was statistically significant or if the outcome of the just had to do with interference of other variables. Also in the Excel Program, after the outcome of the ANOVA we use the Chart Wizard to make a graph to show the results of the ANOVA. Those are just some of the things that I use everyday which
ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) seeks to define the excellent engineer and the excellent engineering program by outlining a number of criteria that should be met by any accredited program in engineering education. It is important to note, at the outset, that ABET begins with an overarching criterion that "engineering programs must prepare graduates for the practice of engineering at a professional level." (My emphasis) This must mean something more than mere vocational training
Parents should motivate their children by telling them how being a high-school graduate High-School Drop-Outs How can students be motivated to stay in school? First of all, I think the students should be motivated mainly by their parents and then by their teachers. Parents should motivate their children by telling them how being a high-school graduate will help them in life. The parent may mention how being a high-school graduate helped them or how they were hurt by being a high-school drop-out. Teachers

I want to be able to identify these children and help them cope with these problems. Students today have to deal with issues that you and I did not have to when we were at that age. I plan to work toward my Master’s in English after I graduate from Concord, but I do want to begin teaching immediately. I feel it

More and more in society women are breaking down the social barriers that confine them to their specific roles. The movies The Graduate and The Last Picture Show reveal to viewers a side to females that is very nontraditional. These two movies help to show how women are rebelling against sexual social norms, and they are taking a more active and aggressive role when dealing with
