Why did Gallaudet required biology class before graduation?

An unaccredited university, whether public or private, is not eligble for federal or state financial aid. A video gaming school is not an accredited university, and therefore cannot be compared to Gally or any other university.

Failed.

Any school is a school.

Gallaudet is beyond crap.

Biology is good to learn, but if you have very good sense of science. You'll be fine without Biology, you can convince your counselor to adjust the requirement for you. But science are must for degrees with science, it doesn't have to be biology mainly. Computer Science is one way to go.

No, any school is not a school, in that it must be an accredited university in order for you to receive federal financial aid. You have to be a degree (as in associate or bachelor degree) to be eligible.

Fail. I have no degree nor am I going for one yet. I still get federal, state, and school grants just because I said one word. "Deaf".

You see, what you said was for people who has no disabilities but no money. It's a lot tougher for those people with no disabilities to go to school nowadays.

Biology is boring, all you do is read and research when in Computer Science, you learn what we are using today and be trained in a lab.

Go watch the movie, "Accepted", it'll show you that a school can be created pretty quite easy, but you gotta put a lots of effort in it by going through legal systems. Normally, one would not be able to create school cause the board would decide that it's not going to benefit us all. I think the movie rocked.

Being "Deaf" does not automatically qualify you for Pell Grants, state education grants, and scholarships that are available through an accredited university.

Of course anyone can "create" a school. However, one cannot simply create a school and have it accredited. Therefore, just because you are registered somewhere that calls itself a "school" does not mean that you are eligble for financial aid packages based on accreditation.

The fact that you do not have a degree, nor are you seeking one, simply illustrates the fact that your school is not an accredited university, and therefore, you are not eligible for the financial aid package per the federal guidelines. You are attending a training program, and therefore, your attempts to compare it with a 4 year accredited university program is fallicious.
 
Money is flowing to them!

IF YOU TAKE BIOLOGY AND YOU WILL GET A DEGREE. GALLAUDET AND OTHER COLLEGES ARE FULL OF BOLGONA. YOU WILL ABLE TO COMBAT THE COUNSELOR TO DELETE THE BIOLOGY BECAUSE BIOLOGY IS RELATED WITH MEDICAL ISSUES. BIOLOGY IS FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO STUDY IN PRE MED OR OTHER MEDICAL FIELD. IF THEY WNAT EVERYONE TO TAKE BIOLOGY FOR A DEGREE OR GRADATION REQUIREMENT AND YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM ANYWAY. :eek3:

Pardon Me? Biology does not always apply to medical issues. It can also apply to other categories as well. Gallaudet and other colleges are not full of bologna either. If that's your opinion, so be it, but really, college is not for everyone. It takes stamina and a mind set to it to be able to go through any colleges/universities.

Jillio is right, it has nothing with "Deaf".

FAFSA require college or universities to be accredited, if your school won't accredited then you are more likely to get fee wavier from state, such as VR or related, FAFSA is applies for students who live under low income to middle income, depends on situation. The word is accreditation is stand for meet the quality of education, tell honestly with you, Gally isn't crap education since you got listen to students who had withdraw from Gally and start negative about it, Gally is fully accredited.

If your school isn't accredited then credit would be difficult to be transfer to other college, you have take courses over again in any college, no matters.

Most universities and college require you to take biology or other science courses if require applied, not just only for Gally.

Turn cap lock off, you sounds like shout at us.

Biology has nothing with medical at most time, anatomy is majority based on medical because of studies on human, biology is widely subject at general education and that's normal subject, not for people who studies into medical field.

:ty: Thank you Pacman. And you are right about the transfer of credits. They are not recognized at a college or a university. And you are also correct about the science requirement.
 
I read on the news in the past that we do not have many doctors and nurses. Probably, the committees want the students to study in a biology to see whether they like it and change their career. Many doctors from India, Pakistan, and some countries work at our hospitals. I thought that it might be interesting for you to know about it.

Sure, no problem.

I had took 5 science classes during high school time, physical science, biology, anatomy, ecology and chemistry but I use ecology and anatomy as elective, it's not reality my choice because of my counselor who forced me to took this courses.
 
When I transferred from Gallaudet to any college that is accredited, the colleges laughed at me and said the classes I took were below the level where you earn credits.

So basically, the colleges is trying to say that Gallaudet credits are no good and I have to challenge the classes to have the credits once again.

Gallaudet is accredited sure, but only cause it's over 100+ years old. Thomas Gallaudet would burn down the school if he knew what was going on today. Only reason why people talk bad about Gallaudet is because they can't get anywhere through Galluadet but in the deaf world, you can get somewhere.


In the real world, it is your knowledge that leads you to the place where you want to be. In my case, it was my experience that pulled me through a lot.

I tried to get my Gallaudet credits to apply to these school, so far, failure.

Shasta Community College
Butte Community College
Chico State University
Golden West Community College
Art Institute of California


I'm sure RIT's credits are transferable because it has around 8 different college including NTID under it.

You can subsititue Biology with science related to it. Like Chemistry, Marine Biology, and Computer Science.

For medical purpose, you take Chemsitry for you can create a formula to make a medicine.

For water science, Marine Biology.

For technology, Computer Science.

Understand this, all that arrangment you have to pick classes, you have the control, not the faerie counselors.

You can say no and yes. It is your choice, but listen very carefully, for it might not take you where you want to go.

Good luck.

Just say no.

Why in the world would you try to transfer credits from a 4 year university to a community college? That is working backwards.

Perhaps the credits were considered to be below college credit because your time at Gally was spent taking developmental courses?
 
Gallaudet have classes that isn't creditted in teh year of 2003, and I was pissed. So I went ahead and passed, then went to jr college and noticed that the classes at gallaudet aren't very solid because those classes for people who has a hard time learning how it works and all that are actually creditted by jr college.

Lame.

Anyways, the transferrable credits from Gallaudet aren't 100%, some school says ok as long as you prove that it is the same classes because it isn't "State University Units" like in California, if you take classes that has "CSU/UC" transferrable units then you can take those credits to the university and finish up 2 years.

Gallaudet doesn't offer that, so there, it's gay.


Biology is boring because you take it twice in high school. Do something different but related to science.

That's life, you have take similar lesson that you had learned over again during college, also most college have credits that require you to take course, Gally isn't alone.
 
prefer materialistic (computers-tech) over life, imdeafsowhat? :hmm: lol

Anytime a student transfers from one university to another, the risk is that credits will not trasfer class for class. That is a given.

From your description, it sounds as if you were taking developmental classes at Gally. Those credits are not transferable from any university, as they are not college level classes. They are classes to prepare you to do college level work, as your entrance testing indicated that you did not have the necessary skills to do Freshman level class work. Those credits do not transfer for college credit for any university, not do they provide credit to you at the university where you took them. They just insure that once you have passed the developmental courses, you can then begin to take the courses that will apply to your degree. However, it is a benefit to the student that a university allows them to take these developmental classes, as without them, the student would not qualify for admission.

Don't buy it. Requirements are that you have a certain number of credits for graduation in a life science in order to earn a degree. These are national requirements for a degree.

And, since you have said that you do not have a degree, nor do you plan on earning one, it just doesn't add up.
