What does it mean? What should it mean? According to Bowen’s article the Bachelor’s degree is the oldest college degree and originally consists almost exclusively of liberal arts studies. Which brings me to a point where, in the near future BA’s are not going to be as important when students graduate with the four year degree. It will just be as important as a high school diploma. Now most of the work force wants at least a master’s degree or a PHD. For a bachelor’s degree it usually refers to four academic years of time served or 120 semester credits earned. Some students believe that that degree is just simple and has no meaning. It could just be anything as of a high school diploma. Other students know that it means as it is something they have earned, by taking so much courses, getting involved during school, achieving it with poverty.
In general having that degree is conceived as representing hard work within those four academic years following upon “high school preparatory” for college. The concept of the BA degree is not tilted “the student” learning about certain subjects, but their broad emotional and moral development and their practical competence as citizen. As of going through a lot to get to where they are today. To be educated is to learn about characteristics that will stick on and change over time through experiences of course studies and the completion of it.
Bowen defined a well-educated person as one who had achieved a balanced combination of personal and practical learning. To where as you just not learn through lectures but also with active and passive learning. Personal education though primarily designed to enhance each individual as a person and have to enhance skills of use to work and other political affairs. Much of them are derived from experiences throughout life. The definition that he provided was means of list of subjects has the merit of specificity but the drawback of not coming to grips with the underlying spirit and purpose of the education, meaning subjects can be taught and learned with quite different outcomes depending on the basic qualities of mind, character, and temperament that are sought an on the spirit in which the education is conducted.
It’s okay to be undeclared for a major because there are more than one category that students can choose from. In Burtchaell’s article, he provides specific reasons by students are unsure of what they want to major in. In high school there were not a lot of opportunities for them to explore when they start filling in applications for their college. More than half of the offers are new to those students. Anther difficulty that they have is pressure, from their parents. Most parents want the best for their child and many of them will tell them to go for the medical field. I know they want the best but maybe it’s something that they are not interested and does not want to go there. Students are able to take the parent’s advice and explore a little. If it interests them they have the right to go for it but not to just do because their parents had done a lot and they owe them. If they are mature enough to go through the studies of a university then they can choose their own studies.
Now going into the major that is selected, it is going to be a competition and there will always be competition, since there are too many students who want the same major. Subjects are unknown to everyone when you start to take a step to explore the first two years in college. You will have to be capable of learning multiple subjects to find your career and choose the studies that leave up to it. But he also states that the major that you end up choosing will not have a connection after you getting your full-time job or so. Just like people who has a degree in philosophy will end up being a lawyer. Education goes differently though students study so much in different courses and it also prepares them the ability of skills to see the problems that count to be foreseen. If the major is now selected, that will only be a small step into higher education, there are several or multiple steps to go on from there on.
